The developers of Pulse are also developers of Mutiara Heights which has garnered a nasty reputation for poor workmanship, though it has been a year since Pulse's completion and there have been no complaints as to workmanship. Pulse has also seen considerable appreciation as asking prices of the sub-sale units are twice that of when launched, currently starting from RM370,000.The intermediate units at Pulse are also classified under low-medium cost housing units which are regulated under state law. State law dictates that the units are not to be transferred to another person unless good cause is shown to a board. The corner units however, are excluded from its ambit.
