i believe it has got to do with the orientation of the development. i'm also currently staying at meadows&glades, YTL built over 500 plus units in this phase and all units are either facing north or south only.. it's quite true that there is not much wind.. but then at the linear park, can really feel it.. so i think the wind is actually blowing from east or west.. but due to the target market, YTL arranged it north / south and pack it like sardines.. so not much wind can be felt..

Can tell why u wanna upgrade to Reed. Only a< 50% of houses are N-S orientation. With big park and lake, double frontage design, it shd be windy and cozy.
*
hopefully it'll be more windy than the 1st phase.. anyway i think reed has a lower density of unit per acre compared to meadows&glades and dale. reed is also quite generous with open space..

reason for upgrade is that meadows&glades is actually 20x75.. nowadays 20 ft wide is really not enough and as someone posted earlier the cars are actually parking at the road shoulders on both sides and this make it quite narrow.. furthermore, the backlane is very narrow only i think 5 ft apart.. and most of the rear extended to the end..

i think reed will be able to address all those problems above.. and superlink will be the trend forward..

good to know that! no doubt reed is the best buy and best development of 2012.. notwithstanding some other trophy properties.

by the way, have you guys heard of senja by brdb? it's only few km down south from reed at bluwater estate at MINES. RM1.85million for 26x80!! reed buyers must be laughing right now..

with current transacted prices of Dale at RM980k, Reed intermediate units should be at about RM1.4 - 1.5million (add in premium for gated & guarded, lower density and better finishes)..certain units facing lake or the central park could fetch higher though

To all serious buyers out there (esp. for own stay), do think twice and watch out for the workmanship. Seems pretty poor. Dale is pretty new and there are already cracks on the walls.

Wiring in the houses are messed up, we have air-conds installed but all can't function due to wiring issue. You get only hot air. With the current weather, it's really bad. Complaints to management so far seem to have fallen to deaf ears.

Telcos lines are functioning poorly/unstable as well. Having issues with broadband stability, Streamyx and Unifi have not reached the area (but already available at Meadows / Trillium area) as too few people staying here. Apparently each unit should be getting a YES 4G (unsure of details, waiting at the moment).

Various junctions around here and at the Trillium are actually pretty dangerous. Sharp or dangerous turnings at various points, with drivers shooting out straight without looking. I think this is ultimately attributable to the way roads were designed.

All in all, the property looks good, with a big name (developer).
Beautiful on the outside, as for the "inside"...
practically not done well. You can't really say it's a comfortable place to live in for now.
And given the value of the property,  doh.gif .
*
i do agree that the workmanship of dale is quite bad.. the cracks are hairline cracks, easily rectified. but not too sure about those wiring problems. what i can see from the workmanship is that YTL had only 2 years to complete this dale development and it was a rush job. some of the units VP late to owners and incurred late delivery charges. they're also taking their own sweet time to do defect works unless you know someone in YTL or some of their people there.

for Reed and Grove, hope that it'll be a different story since they're sold as luxurious stratified landed homes based on Schedule H of HDA, 3 years construction period. hopefully no rush jobs and better workmanship since buyers are also paying more for these homes.

Those transactions could be manipulations by vested parties. Are they really worth that much?

there was a lot of disappointed purchasers during the ballot day.. a lot of serious buyers couldn't get a unit despite putting in multiple ballots.. on that day itself some even went into separate conditional purchase (YTL didn't allow change of names) with those who manage to get multiple units.

i believe there are still a lot of serious buyers for reed in the secondary market given that pricing is right for them.

Very much agree indeed... the workmanship in Dale is extremely disappointed. The rectification follow-up is another daunting process in order to deal with those who sit in the site office. The material provided (such as main wooden door) in Dale is not as per the SPA, despite numerous of complaints and letter to the headquarters, the respond is... WIP..

Well all in, it is a deceived experience by the BIG name of the developer in Dale episode. Albeit it doesn't mean will be a replicate experience for REED or Glove though. But think twice, if one do afford a >RM1.3mil house for own stay, honestly why should he risk the hard earn money with these uncertainty? It is so matter to become a 'LakeFielder'? After all, there are still plenty of good choices out there at this price range.
*
well, when YTL launched Dale in 2010, it was slightly cheaper than then the subsale prices of meadows & glades. cheapest you could get in Dale was RM619k & RM669k and the highest was RM719k for intermediate units. during the same time, meadows & glades already transacting at RM675k.

it's like YTL just want to let the buyers profit.

for ownstayers, despite going through all defects etc, be happy that your Dale property already transacting at RM950 - RM1.1m

I'm looking for end lot / corner lot at REED.

I'm not agent. Looking for own stay. Considering Dale too.

Any seller intend to let go?

Also appreciate if anyone has more info / photo of the internal perspective of REED. I can only see the floor layout from YTL website.

Thanks.
*
didn't find any asking for end / corner lot for reed, but intermediate units are asking about RM1.6m..

end lot should then be around 1.8 - 2.0m and corner easily way higher than 2.0m..

y didn't consider dale? more palatable for an end lot, should be around RM1.3m?

The earlier phase ( Dale if I remember correctly) have double volume in the living room. Thus it looks grand and with high ceiling.
Unfortunately Reed doesn't have DV, in order to max up the BU

nowadays with the usage of LED lighting, we don't need higher ceiling to compensate for the use of plaster ceiling to accommodate the downlights anymore..

let me go home and check the SPA, there's some dimension on the height of the building..

I was told the last transacted unit was sold at 1.3m. Should be an intermediate unit.

Those who listed at 1.6m all having difficulties to sell.

Looking at the current economy, next year's prospect not so good....too many speculators in the last few years.
It will be buyer's market soon.
*
the transacted rm1.3m is for non lake facing. those 1.6m the last i check was lake facing. heard that a non lake facing, but at the central park concluded at 1.5m.. not able to confirm that.

yes it's gonna be a buyers' market soon. but not a problem for me because it's for my own stay. even if it's buyers' market, anyone who bought Reed during launch will definitely gain.

good luck bro~! it gonna up to 2.3m~! lol

not sure about 2.3m! hahaha but what i can say is that reed is the most bang for buck property in past few years..

24x80' land, 3,200 sf built up, low dense, strata landed with management office / gym, lake, central park.. at only RM9++ onwards.

end / corner from 1.2m onwards.. what else can we ask for.. lol

Within 2 years asking for 80-90% return??  rclxms.gif

Even if it was the booming time 2 years ago it would be unlikely.

Look at iproperty, price coming down. 1.6m becomes 1.5 and 1.49m. Previously those who put up 1.6m were all testing water.

2.3m for a lease hold link house?  whistling.gif There are many choices (including freehold semi-D) nearby if you have 2.3m to spend for a 3200sf house.

Yes, I believe it will go up to 2.3m eventually. But that may be at least another 3-5 years or more if economy continue to grow.

Once the houses are ready, there will be >200 units for sales....I estimate at least 70% are speculators who sapu
most of the units during launching. By then, serious buyers will have plenty of choices.  thumbup.gif

Developers are sensitive to market's demand. Most of them slowed down their launching since last year. You don't see that many
launching recent months, do you?

Better pray if the economy won't collapse. Otherwise, many will start to throw price if they can't hold.
*
well said.. there are still a lot of serious buyers who couldn't get a unit due to strict balloting process by YTL and EY.

another thing to note is that there are limited fully G&G low density strata landed homes like this in Sg Besi, and the nearest will be Senja by BRDB (leasehold). guess how much they're selling late last year? RM1.99m for a super link with 2400sf land area and similar built up at 3,200sf. left a few units available now. talking about crazy, yes it's crazy, i was also one of the priority purchaser, but didn't buy a unit because i bought end lot reed 3100sf land area for only RM1.36m!

i foresee reed will most likely go for about RM1.5m - 1.6m for intermediate units upon completion, end lots at 1.8m - 2m, corner lots at more than 2m.

yes we need to beware of the economy, BNM mentioned won't raise OPR to help the ringgit, but it's just a matter of time when they will raise it, not whether they want to raise it or not. like what you said, it will be a buyers' market by then. but if you have been to the Reed ballot, i can tell you that the purchasers there are all loaded and most likely wouldn't care about it because they're just well, loaded.

it is by ballot, i would say almost every unit is a good buy.

that's what i've been trying to say.. only RM1.39m (albeit near to guardhouse)!! what's the land size btw? 5001 is the lot number right?

where else can you get this for a fully g&g stratified landed homes..

those who didn't make a purchase (especially last few batches) despite being balloted due to limited units or facing T junctions or TNB, they're really clueless and i might say, ignorant of YTL's strategy in Lake Fields.

some people may even prefer to stay near guardhouse, easier for entry and exit.. and safer? lol
