im not harping on it, im just replying those people's post MR THX.
since you yourself also sell it at a loss, what makes you even think this place will improve ? do you even think it's easy to change the malay in block A & B ? this place is the most suitable to rent to foreigners, malay, indians...besides, im telling the truth. why are you being so "cant tahan" me say all this things ? it's not that Im lying or anything. in fact, some of them even go there and see it, and admit it....come on.
about the appreciate of price thing, I think it's the residents themselves who think of revising the price themselves, not everyone agree to that(thinking price will appreciate but how can you even appreciate with this kind of property?
this place has location in a wrong place). and it's hard to change people when majority are foreigners. if you again disagree with me, wait till all the developments are up and you see for yourself. it wont help, at least not fully. and when I go there, it is already under the new JMB, i seriously cant imagine how it is before that...must be very horrendous. it is BAD, not "not SO bad".
but thank you for admitting you sold at loss. Im sure there are bunch of them there selling at loss

I agree with you that Mr. Chipsley has a grudge against Flora Damansara. It’s one thing to point out the bad points about the place (which is actually helpful for potential buyers so they can make informed decisions), it’s quite another to keep harping about it. When someone does so many posts, day after day, you have to wonder what their agenda is. He’s denied having a grudge, and people who can read will make up their own minds.
I’m an ex-FD owner who sold a Block F unit (high floor) in 2010. Bought from the developer in 2002, sold at a loss in 2010, and was happy to sell even at a loss. Before people misunderstand, it’s not that the place was SO bad that I was happy to take a loss. It’s just that by 2010, FD was simply not the type of property I wanted to deal with anymore. To me, taking the loss was worth not having to think about FD, and it gave me more time to think about other properties. It did (and probably still does) have it’s bad points, but it certainly wasn’t SO bad. People should note that the build quality of units does vary, and while I heard that some had tiles popping up, pipes leaking, etc, my unit didn’t have those.
Now that the price has gone up, I’m glad that the buyer is now sitting on a profit. The buyer took the risk, and it’s only fair the buyer reaps the reward. The idea of being happy when others gain might be an alien concept to some people, but I’ve reached a stage of my life where the financial loss I incurred doesn’t matter that much, and I don’t live my life with the goal of me being the only one to gain and everybody else must lose.
Getting back to the topic, I personally would not buy FD now. But I do recognise that there is potential for improvement, and IF the management company is strong, the place can be turned around (I’ve seen this happen at other places where the residents’ committee was very strong). It will probably take 4 – 5 years though, although signs of improvement should be visible within 1 – 2 years. In the meantime, inflation will continue, and that will help support FD prices.
For people who have decided (or do decide in the future) to buy into FD, I wish you good luck and hope that FD improves. Some of you will have bought it as an investment, some of you will have bought it because it’s what you can afford. For the latter group especially, I hope things work out well.

me too went to go FD last saturday...on the way to go there the road quite nice and got some construction work there..dont mind that...at the main entrance got 2-3 security but as usual..security in most mid-cost apartment no function at all..also ok for me..then start looking around..block a,b,c,d...look like low-cost apartment...i think ok la since its older than other block...then go up to block at the top hill...new paint and can see its newer than other and environtment ok la...parking also ok got many space...but so near the edge of hill.
i got chance to talk with some pakcik there FD got potential to be 'mini-foreign-village' because its location quite far from public and low rental. i asked the rental price around 600 but can up a bit if u willing to rent to foreign worker..they dont mind share with 10 people in a house.
i dont have any experience to buy a house but for me im not going to buy FD as my first property. just my 1cent.
the 10 ppl foreigner will destroy the place, that i assure you. in the long run, you will still need to do renovation.

you've been very kind with your words. so, did you "see" what it means by dirty ? it's basically a malay area place...so, it's dirty from the entrance, up until you go up the unit, right ? when you sit the lift also a bit shaky right ? then when you go to the back of the car park you saw the back of the building dirty because of the food stalls all also throw their "shit" at the back right ? and when you go along the corridors, you notice the door is very narrow right ? and the list goes on....now you believe those who critise ?

you should have started to ask this question quite awhile ago, but again I guess you guys are being defensive and taking my critism wrong way.
