I visited 8B yesterday and had to change my ID for an entry pass at the security post to enter. I was happy that security has been stepped up at precint 8. Then I saw a mobile street hawker on a motorbike exiting the guard post freely.

For those of you who suscribed to cable TV, there is a reality show on home decor called The Apartment showing on Star World. The property in focal is terrace house in KL by Sime Darby. It is an interesting show as you might find some reno idea for your NI house.

we were there on sat morning, we went to sales office to get a pass but they were not opened yet so the guard just walkie talkie to the guard in 8 that a sg car is coming and they let us in wo any ID exchange.
Did u pop by 8A to see their renovations ? we managed to talked to a contractor and get to view the house and manage to find out the costs for comparison....
any idea just to activate the auto gate point RM1500 expensive or not ?

http://iskandarliving.com/blog/?p=311 -> If the figures here are an indication, then RM1500 should be ok gua.

RM1400 - RM1500 to activate the auto gate is about right.

Some renovations over at 8A seems extensive. Is 8A covered under DMC?

Yes, but the DMC covers only the security of Precinct 8. Nothing stated about exterior facade cannot be changed.

The last time I read the DMC was months ago. I vaguely remember the document mentioning something about conserving an uniform facade throughout the precint. I was wondering then who or which authority approves the renovation on the facade. If those modications on the balcony and walls at 8A are permissible, I am very delighted. I would like to extend my balcony too so that I can comfortably sit there to enjoy sun rise.

Anyway, I'll read up the DMC again when I have the time.

Tho mine is 8B DMC, I am pretty sure it similar except for some items like period of security management under the developer (2 years for 8B instead of 3 years for 8A as 8A is an earlier phase). NI is under MPJBT local authority. This can be seen in the Local Authority's stamp on the SPA and DMC documents as these require stamping by local authority before it is legally enforceable.

Imho, if its meant for own stay retirement home, I say dig into savings and go for HH terrace. Semi-dee and cluster would be too big for an "empty nester". An endlot would prolly be a good compromise instead of SemiDee/cluster.
I have seen my friend's granny living in a Petaling Jaya double storey terrace house but stuck to the ground floor guest room cos old ppl have trouble climbing up and down the stairs. Imagine if you have a big house and 3 storeys as a retirement home, your upper levels gonna be seldom utilised.

Speaking as Semi Retired & had exp staying in Landed & Apt. Yes Terrace will be already too Big for Retirees.
My 1st Choice "High rise Condo", pay more for "Monthly Maintenance" n you get a nice manicure Garden for TaiChi, yr Pool will entice yr G'Kids to visit you on weekend in Old Age. WHY SLAVE AWAY IN THE BIG HOUSE WITH STAIR CLIMBING, CLEANING & GARDEN WEEDING IN YOUR OLD AGE ? My 2 Cents !!

Will the jb condo gets more and more rundown by the time we retire? thats what i observe in many jb condos.... especially those more than 3 yrs (where the maintenance is handled over to the resident commitee)

Whats ur take?

So the response will be get a high end condo to minimise the risk of non performing maintenance but that will come will heft monthly charges. Given that when you are retired you would naturally want to cut costs unless of course money is not an issue. Well, to each his own I guess, there are pros and cons in condo living vs landed.

This is M'sia common Condo maintenance problem. Buying new Condo with a higher Foreigners Ownership may help but this is only my HOPE. Guess living in JB is not to be likes in S'pore lor.
