Hi Guys,

I'm from Fern Lane.

First row end lot with the back facing the proposed neighbourhood shops.

Hi Bert,
I heard it will be around September. But we don't plan to move in just yet. We will wait for the construction opposite to it (Mulberry Grove I think) to complete due to security reasons.

Also, we've yet to decide on the renovations to be done so that will take some time as well.

Hmmm,

I was at my unit last sunday and they were still doing waterproofing works in the bathtub. Also some touch ups were still in progress.

I went to the sales office and they said that my row is Furn Lane Phase 2. So the VP would be anytime real soon. Apparently all the intermediate shoplots at E- Boulevard have been sold out. Only some corner lots left.

If I'm not mistaken it was about 1.85m. But its only 2 storeys unlike the corner lot.

Hi Xai,

Some questions...

Although Fern Lane is designed based on Cul-De-Sacs, there are numerous access from the small park at the other end.

Also, as my unit is the first row with the back facing the proposed neighbourhood shops and an end lot with a walkway beside it, how are we going to cordone of these exit points too?

Mine is No.12. Are we on the same road?

Its the first lane coming in from the roundabout. U16/68. The 100ft row.

No laah...mana ada class...it was pure luck as I got it from a buyer whose loan was not approved and my friend who is the PM of DA called up and said that I had to decide now!now!now! on that unit before they put it back up the next day.

But I hope there wont be any security issues as the back is exposed to the shoplots.

Yup,

Got my letter yesterday as well. But I think its gonna be a few days for the financier to disburse the final amount before they sales office can issue the letter for us to collect the keys.

Funny they only give give 14 days to get it all sorted out before absolving liability on the handover.

Exactly,

So we have to chase our bankers to release the final disbursement.

Hmmmm.....

Judging from the development of infrastructure in DA, I think it would be at least 3rd quarter 2014 for the amenities to be up and running and the construction work tapering off.

I'm still contemplating when to move in as its hard to live in a new area with amenities far away.

Most likely, the earliest would be 3rd quarter 2013.

Susah la to live without nearby amenities. I'm so used to having everything at my doorstep.

Which house is it? Is it the first row? My FL endlot unit is 31 X 105. House itself is 26 x 100. Built up is 3450SF.

Wonder whats the price now....

I was actually planning to use my unit as an investment.

But after deliberating long and hard, I think I plan to stay here. I'm staying in Tmn Tun but its no longer the Tmn Tun of yesteryear. Traffic is bad as 70% of the road users are non residents who use it as a slip road, Crime rate is rocketing even with the presence of more foot patrol police, Parking is shitty as I can't have a piece of mind going to the shops without an idiot double parking beside my car, high rise development projects is going to make it worse especially with the MRT project coming up.

Its no a peaceful place to raise up a family so I hope DA doesnt disappoint me.

I will be doing an open house in Fern Lane......but only in Raya 2014 la when I have effectively moved in ...

Went to see the house last weekend and as usual there was a stream of contractors trying to canvass for jobs.

Eventually, we opted for one who looked liked he knew what he was talking about and the price was reasonable to do some work at the kitchen,grill and fencing.

He was so desperate to lock in a job in FL to get a track record so we gave him a try.

Name was Desmond from Territory Construction (macam nama company Ah Long )

Anyone heard of him?

It happens in all new development housing areas.

Apparently, there is a race to put up their banners on the house to say its being "chop". Like territorial pissing la.

As long as they do a good job with a reasonable price, I'm OK with it.

I told him, you screw up my house, and the whole DA will know about it and vice versa

I asked my friend, an architect from SD who was a part of the DA Development team.

He basically said any erection of concrete beams and pillars would need building approval from the council and a buffer of 2ft needs to be retained at the back.

If you want to extend right to the back without approval, it can only be done for "temporary structures" without the erection of concrete pillars right up to the top. This is quite common for kitchens.

That's why some houses just add roofing supported with metal pillars and add grills from the 6ft brick fence wall to the top to to circumvent this requirement. So that's exactly what I'm doing.

This info should reliable and correct as he is now the GM for Sime Darby-Brunsfield so takkan dia nak tipu kot

But besides this, yes you do.

Tsk....tsk....tsk...now now....easy boys. I thought this is a PG rated forum?
