Any idea those unit facing LDP view is facing west or east? Hill view is facing west or east? Any difference between blocks E, F, G, H in terms of occupant? One of the sales agent actually told me block E having the most local occupant. Wonder whether is it true...

Yup. But is there a so called block with 'lesser' foreigner? Went to the so called 'hell' place yesterday. Noticed there a quite a number of families (with kids) staying there. Upper floors are better than lower levels (Of cause still doesn't mean it is heavenly nice). No rubbish dump and motor parked front of the unit. May be I am not lucky enough to see. tongue.gif Lift.... Average about 1 lift button spoilt for each floor and lift door sometimes close with super loud noise. Scare the hell out of me.
With < 200k in this area, I guess this is what you can get. Stay cool la my friends, we discuss dont debate. Property is like job. No perfect job/property in this world, just depends what are the cons you are willing to tolerate.

Hmmm... I feel weird when there are/were some ppl "discussing"/criticizing/whatever the value of flora D. that is not as good as other high-end/high-class building..

Be honest. Flora costs less than 200k, so its facility, environment and amenities won't be as good as those bangalows, high-end condo (icon city? sunway south quay?)...

If you expect flora should be as good as those high-end one, then the price is already 300k, 500k or even 1 million...

For me, initially the developer built this block(s) as part of their social responsibilities. They need to take care of those who are poor.. just like us (or me).  And of course, have to admit --  lower cost, less facility. Myvi can never compete with BMW 7 series, right?

In PJ/damansara area, those housing/properties with strict security patrol/smart access system, nice and clean environment, well arranged traffic flow and parking system, good-managed and function-well facility... cost u at least 400k or even reach 1 million++...

Flora is improving due to the JMC's hardwork. But in order to see the very significant changes, it takes longer time. By that time, flora won't be as low as <200k... So for those investors, i think they believe that the JMC can improve Flora and when Flora becomes better and better, price increases more and more, they may earn greater and greater.. Vice versa, they need to bear the risk where if Flora becomes worse -- landslide /crimes/frequent lift-breakdown/whatever, they loss their money...

And for those who think Flora is only worth less than 100k (indeed i like it -- pay less), I would appreciate if you can point out any apartment that is similar to flora (in terms of security, facility etc ) but lesser price -- <100k ... 

I am not an owner.. I am just a tenant.. Of course I wish to buy a flora unit (medium cost) that is less than 100k -- but if really got one day like this, i believe the condition at that time is much worse than current one -- worse condition, less price, vice versa...


Added on June 18, 2012, 11:08 amIt's just like when we go to 70k flat, we might complain... wow so unmanaged, no lift, sometimes no water, got kes kecurian etc.. if u want nicer (and afford to have), then choose flora -- has lift, "less hardworking" security staff, nicer view, but many foreigners etc; not enough? choose metropolition block C, three tier security, very nice swimming pool, gym and other facilities -- 650k; still not good enough? choose Sunway south quay -- 1 million per unit, got own super big lake, proposed high way, lrt, bet etc... wow...

For me, there is always a proportionality between condition/environment and price... Have to admit -- in the world that plays with "capitalism", that is the reality. But please don't get misunderstood that "hence, I deserve to experience those thieves, burglary, raping cases if i stay in low cost housing/property".. Hehe.. Different story...

Anyone know what is the master and strata title status for all the blocks? Especially block E.
And how old (how many years) is block E? Looking at few units there.
Thanks.

In short,
1. He doesn't think FD worth 180k. (but in reality it does. For 1080sqft high floor corner unit, it is around the market price.)
2. You posted your letter to Saujana Triangle Sdn Bhd five years back which they say they gonna do sthing to improve the living environment. To wodenus, 5 years gone and nothing much improved.

What are the future concerns and issues on the sellability of this place? You will be helping a lot of people by telling the truth or give your honest opinion. Sometime the truth hurts but it is better than.....er.. hit and run?

Yep, I'll be interested to know the other concerns and issues you know. The feedback from some of the ppl here is already bad enough. Let's see how much worse it can get. Cannot say greed la... Everyone invest also hope to get the highest gain possible. If after doing own research, you think that the place is worth investing, just go ahead. But cannot comment those buying are stupid/greedy. Unless you only plan to buy 1 house in your whole life just for your own stay. Then you are right, all of us investor are greedy. tongue.gif

it's not hong kong drama. it's the reluctant of owners to admit it, from what I read the overall picture. honestly, anyone who already own FD will not admit on the "uncommercialness" of FD and prefer the price to be raised year on year quickly(that's call greed) smile.gif it's a simple logic.
*
I think everyone is just telling what they think. Owner or ppl who buy it of coz think this prop is good then only buy. If that's the case, of coz they are saying +ve thing about the prop. But I notice that many ppl here kept thinking that those owner trying to cover the -ve stories of FD just to raised the price of FD.
Well, may be you are correct, I'm not the worm in their stomach so cant tell you exactly what they are thinking. But do try 1 thing. Go into any of the thread like "XXX" and comment that "XXX is a nasty place". As long as there is owner, I am sure your comment will get challenge. Normal reflex from owner. tongue.gif

I am personally not an owner. But I been to the place few times just to see the environment. Forum comment are just for reference. Always go to the place to see the real thing and decide by yourself.

Chill..... Discuss but don't fight. We are Malaysian. We muhibah....

AGM will be on the 8th of July. Pls give your suggestion or idea to make Flora abetter place.

Please add in your questions or ideas.

1) Deadlines of when projects to be completed.(New multi-storey car-park and 4 lanes access road in Block A & B)
2) Where are the RM77 funds being used and what is the total collection per month.
3) Safety of location - security tag?
4) How much is the uncollected M. Fee and what is the JMB going to do about it.
5) Ban those lorry operator who put up sticker or print in the lift or wall. If they want to advertise, do so through the office FOC
6) When will we get our Strata title
7) Solve water problem once and for all
8) Make sure all the corridors are well lit
9) cat poop or pet
10) Glass wall /door with security tag /CCTV at each block lobby.
11) Fire safety. I noticed that there are fire hoses on each floor but they are not attached. Will it be fixed?
12) How safe is the hill slope.
13) Fix all lifts and repaint the wall at the waiting area.
14) Cleaner shops please, gave cash rebate to those are well keep.
15) Redesign the garbage disposal area.
16) When is the pool, gym and others facilities going to be useble
17) Clean up the place vmad.gif

With more than RM70k per month, most of the above can be done if given time.

QUOTE(lilac @ Jun 18 2012, 07:51 PM)
18) Bus stop. There is a bus stop in front of the low cost flats, will FD be getting any buses to come in?

19) Plus. Lights in some carpark level is rosak. A bit dark.
