got my keys in the evening just now.. kudos to YTL this time around.. the handover was great and very detailed. they even briefed you and walked you through together with inspection of the house.

unexpected surprises:-
1. built in fibre optic internet
2. intercom system to guardhouse
3. solar water heater to baths
4. CCTV to garden, roads and common area
5. beautiful landscaping
6. plaster ceiling to all rooms
7. balau timber strips to all bedrooms and staircase!

very minimal defects, can see that YTL really put in a lot of effort this time around..

didn't have much time to take internal photos, just took some external pics..

rear view taken from the park

haha your unit is facing dale is it? that's the only unit i saw have people viewing.. and there's someone else who also dropped by my unit to talk to the YTL contractor..

guess we're all along the same road.. i'm opposite row.. park area

i won't be changing any tiles or carry out any heavy renovation works.. just do some fixtures and fittings, lightings will do..

Yes the living room is small.. The dining area is much bigger.. The living room is more like a family area.. And master bath doesn't have his & her wash basins.. Only singly wash basin

one intermediate unit immediately facing army barracks confirmed transaction 1.38m, offer letter just signed. according to agent, 1.38m is the cheapest among that row. no owner is willing to go below 1.4m for that row, despite fronting army barracks.

those who are advertising 1.2m are just fishing for potential buyers to call them.

for example, some agents are advertising the same sold unit at 1.3m, but the owner actually not willing to go anything lower than 1.38m.. but agents still advertise at 1.3m, just to fish for buyers..

don't simply trust what the agents are advertising..

btw, MRT line 2 (sg buloh - serdang - putrajaya) includes a sg besi stop.. somewhere near the existing star lrt stop.. construction slated to begin in june 2016, expected completion by 2022

another boon for lake fields!

soon we can have a lowyat member reed owners get together since quite a few of us own units here in reed lol

if the date of your VP letter is after the date of your SPA, u can claim LAD from YTL

what they're trying to say, no way Reed is selling at 1.2m.. because Dale, an individual land titled development with smaller land area and built up, slightly higher density, so-so landscaping, is also going about 1.2m now.

anyone has Reed intermediate units for sale at 1.2m? just curious..

i only know a lot of reed owners are not willing to go below 1.3m

my friend's reed intermediate unit facing lake, 1.6m offer also didn't want to let go..

post GST, as long as the location is good, concept and overall development is ok, it'll still appreciate, but may not be as fast as what we've seen in the past 5 years.

i was at the launch of Tropicana Aman Phase 1 few weeks ago, talking about market slowdown.. yea.. all 2-storey houses fully booked except for 1 or 2 units..

yeah agree.. this is definitely a keeper

you mean supposed to have double-volume ceiling?

ytl already giving plaster ceiling to living, dining, all bedrooms, maybe it looks the ceiling height not so high now at the actual house.

louvres aplenty at the house, the dining area sliding door, the master bedroom balcony area, the pavilion area, etc.. all with nicely done sliding louvres..

1.38m for intermediate unit facing army barracks, offer letter accepted last week

my friend's intermediate unit facing lake, rejected 1.6m offer

most likely you can get LAD from ytl..

i still see quite a few units being touched up by the ytl contractors, most likely to rush for VP.. they work til at night..

i'll pm you ytl contact

No need capitalisme.. even communist countries are enjoying great returns in real estate.. (vietnam, china), later on Cuba!

i think the current smaller window panels ytl is using for the top part don't need the louvres.





the bigger top panels and main sliding glass panels have proper louvres..

some signed SPA in early May, and still have not received VP letter..

i remembered my Dale LAD was calculated from the SPA date.
