What is Saville @ Melawati?
Saville @ Melawati is a freehold serviced residence in Taman Melawati, Kuala Lumpur, developed by MKH Berhad and completed in January 2013; the development consists of 2 blocks of 23 storeys, offering 408 serviced apartments and 12 shop-office lots, with units ranging from 901 to 1,937 sq ft, and Sri Rampai LRT station is approximately 737 m away (~9-minute walk) and Taman Melati LRT station approximately 958 m away. SPEEDHOME's managed-portfolio experience across 30,000+ Malaysian tenancy agreements shows Taman Melawati freehold serviced-residence developments like this one tend to combine furnished and partially furnished units under mixed landlord ownership, which is why asking rents move floor-by-floor rather than building-wide.
Facilities include a swimming pool, gymnasium, multi-purpose hall, adult fitness stations, and 24-hour security. For the live Taman Melawati rental filter and which units are currently listed with Zero Deposit, see All live SPEEDHOME rentals.

How the SPEEDHOME platform works at Saville @ Melawati
SPEEDHOME listings at Saville @ Melawati are individually verified before going live, and SPEEDHOME has had zero reported rental scams on the platform since April 2026; selected listings carry Zero Deposit — SPEEDHOME's managed rental-risk system — but not every unit qualifies, and eligibility depends on the listing and screening outcome. Zero Deposit is SPEEDHOME's managed rental-risk system — not a financial guarantee product — that replaces the upfront cash deposit, so tenants move in without tying up cash while landlords stay protected through rental protection instead of holding a deposit. For severe end-of-tenancy damage beyond fair wear and tear, the standard protection claims process applies.
For landlords at Saville @ Melawati, SPEEDHOME's managed model handles tenant screening, tenancy-agreement preparation, and rent collection end to end. SPEEDHOME platform data (most recent measured period, 2026): roughly 30% of tenancy applicants are rejected at SPEEDHOME's screening step before any tenancy agreement is signed. SPEEDHOME platform data (most recent measured period, 2026): roughly 70% of managed tenants pay rent on or before the due date, and roughly 87% pay within 3 days of the due date.
The full-service landlord fee is 2.19% of monthly rent, payable only once a unit is tenanted. To see which Saville @ Melawati units are currently listed with Zero Deposit, browse the live filter on All live SPEEDHOME rentals. For the landlord view, see List with SPEEDHOME (landlords).
What to check before and during the Saville @ Melawati viewing
Building name does not guarantee unit quality, parking allocation, or commute time; verify each of these at the viewing before you pay anything. A 2013-era freehold serviced-residence is only as good as the unit you are about to sign for, and the specific block, floor, and view all matter.
| Checkpoint | What to verify | Why it matters for Saville @ Melawati |
|---|---|---|
| Commute route | Your real door-to-destination time at your travel hour | Sri Rampai LRT ~737 m (~9-min walk); Taman Melati LRT ~958 m — verify the actual door-to-platform walk from the unit |
| Highway / road noise | Which side of the building faces the main road and which faces the back | Taman Melawati corridor units catch road noise — verify at the viewing hour you will actually live with |
| Unit condition | Water pressure, air-conditioning units, windows, ceiling, cabinet doors, tiling | 2013-era buildings can have mid-life issues; defects discovered after move-in are harder to resolve |
| Parking | Whether a bay is included, optional, or unavailable in the listing | Parking bay allocation is a common dispute point — confirm in the tenancy agreement before signing |
| Upfront cash | Total move-in cost: deposit, first month's rent, utility transfer fees | Know your full exposure before committing; ask if the listing has Zero Deposit |
| Tenancy terms | Lease duration, break-clause, maintenance fee responsibility | Clarify who pays maintenance charges and how renewal works |
| Building amenities | Current operating state of pool, gym, security, lifts | Advertised facilities are not always in service |
| Sinking fund / special assessment | Current JMB sinking-fund balance and any pending special assessment | A weak sinking fund or pending special assessment will land on the next tenancy |
Who Saville @ Melawati fits — and who it does not
Saville @ Melawati fits tenants who want a walk-to-LRT base on the Kelana Jaya Line (Sri Rampai or Taman Melati), or who have a car and need a Taman Melawati address; whether a specific unit is a good fit depends on the block, the floor, the furnishing, the current condition and the asking rent. Use the bullets below as a sanity check, then verify the specific unit.
- Fits — tenants who already worked out the commute and want a Taman Melawati residential base; tenants who will confirm unit condition, parking, and maintenance fee responsibility at viewing; tenants who want a live filtered listing with Zero Deposit on selected units.
- Skip if — the 2013-era building condition is not what you need; you cannot absorb move-in cash before Zero Deposit is confirmed; the ~9-min walk to LRT is not workable for your commute.
How Saville @ Melawati compares with nearby Taman Melawati buildings
The most direct comparison is to run the same-day live filter on All live SPEEDHOME rentals for two or three named buildings in the same sub-area; do not rely on article figures as quoted rent. Asking rents move with the season and the corridor.

| Other stratified Taman Melawati corridor buildings | Same corridor, similar age band, similar facility set; run the same-day filter |
| Transit-adjacent Sri Rampai / Taman Melati towers | Useful for a commute-versus-walk-to-LRT trade-off |
