ok, i didn't read the broucher since i'm not that interested on this development.
When you assume/ trust the developer this is a G&G, did you find out from them you r getting the individual title or strata title?
whether it is G&G strata-titled landed property or G&G individual titled landed Home...which is better is still debatable until today..
each of them has their pros and cons for
eg strata titled might need to wait for a period of time due to delays in getting the strata titles, furthermore strata-titled properties have been associated with problems such as poor maintenance and high maintenance fees in addition to the need to contribute to a sinking fund but it also has it pros and one of the main reason of this new concept of strata-titled landed property is getting popular is security and privacy for strata-titled gated and guarded landed properties is assured, as it is inaccessible to the public.
This is not the case with individual-titled landed homes, also in a gated and guarded project. In the latter, members of the public have the right to access the project grounds. In short, a gated and guarded community living concept cannot be enforced if the property is not strata titled, the fact that strata-titled landed properties ensure that the roads in the community are meant only for residents' use but again this is back to square one where all depends on the management's quality.. if you got a lousy management where the security guard is those friendly type..
whether you are staying in a G&G strata-titled landed property or G&G individual titled landed Home is still the same.. just with a angkat tangan or wave your hand concept..u can get in.. it actually happened to one of the most highly guarded and tight security base in our country..if you remember the news...
For G&G individual titled landed home, alternatively, residents, the developer and the local council could sign a mutual covenant, stating that the roads within the gated and guarded compound are for internal use by residents only and that the maintenance of the roads and other facilities in the neighbourhood are to be undertaken by the management corporation. The drawback to this, however, is that the agreement has to be renewed every one to two years.
As for G&G individual titled landed home, the quality and security of the property sole depends on the RA. it can be quite messy if the residents all are not willing to share the responsibility or not co-operative among each others and thus causing the poor maintenance of the surrounding and eventually losing the value of the GnG where has a big direct impact to the property value over there.
The whole concept of strata-titled property is about making the living environment and ambience of the neighbourhood a much better place for
residents and thus, the emphasis on landscaping, streetscaping and beautification efforts. This is usually something hard to be achieved with homes sold with individual titles [G&G individual titled landed home] but that does not mean it is totally impossible.
With G&G strata titled ,the possibility is higher as the upkeep of the strata-titled neighbourhood falls under the management of professional corporation instead of the individual owners and the local council.
Well....it is still has no clear winner until now.. i guess sometimes we gota believe in luck..
good luck folks
oh yal sorry i forgot to tell.. whether it is strata title or individual title .. it has nothing to do with eligibility to GnG concept..both of it still can have GnG but it is just with slight differences in rules and concepts.. come to the end.. it is still Gated and Guarded...just my two cents
