General rule, if I am correct  -  ground floor of two adjacent houses must be at least 10 feet apart.  1st floor up must be at least 20 feet apart.  Both side and back.

So downstairs can extend until 5 feet from fence (then if your neighbour also extend same length = 5 + 5 = you are 10 feet apart)

Best to check with your local authority regulations. Can be different.

Developer hold some units and was transacted at 888k few months back.

Getting mixed answers on extending the unit - anyone had experience with strata title unit?

@hman - was thinking of the same, the layout of the utility room took out too much space from the kitchen.

ya cos they know sure can't get from MPS finger pointing - biasa la.

btw can't do any sort of extension?

i use 'sort' not 'soft'

What i mean is all extension not allowed?

bro smooth9 required

makes me wonder those guys that bought unit with ample of extra land - for what as you cant really extend?

swimming pool?

Actually at the present moment according to the existing Act, MPS has no jurisdiction over stratified development because everything within the development/the parcel is the responsibility of the developer. This include road works, rubbish collection, drainage, sewage, upkeeping, etc. Any extension or renovation to the property (in this case a landed property) will be the responsibility of the developer to approve. This is essentially the essence of stratified development.

Any extension done to Anggun 2 houses must comply to the local bylaws and with this there is no reason for MPS to find trouble with you. For example, all the civil/structural design must be signed off by a professional engineer. This is to ensure that there is no unsafe structure being erected. Once we have done everything complying to the local building bylaws, there is no reasons for MPS to find trouble but if work done not according to local bylaws, we can expect trouble later.

With regards to back extension, the bylaws states that an exit must be provided for emergency/fire in the case of terrace houses but Anggun 2 are all semi-dees and escape can be done via the side door. Technically, one can extend the back right to the separating wall with your neighbour. There again being good neighbours, one should consult and have agreement with their neighbours before any work.

I am not an expert in this area but I have done various discussions on this topic. The best would be to sort this out with the developer and get their official instruction.

For Anggun 2, can u all remember who are the end financiers? which bank can approach for mortgage loan?

Guys,

No. 9 simply stated that hacking of RC structure is not permissible. What they are referring to is no hacking or modification on existing RC structure. This is obvious because if people start to hack the existing structure, it will weaken the overall house structure and will affect the neighbour unit as well. This is definately cannot be allowed because of safety reason. In any case, if any extension is needed, your architect/structural engineer will consider all this. It is very important that any extension be designed and endorsed by a professional engineer. This is to safeguard your investment and not live in a possible danger of collapse house. Many people engage Indonesians or unqualified contractors to perform extension and they will get into trouble later on. Cracks will appear and possible endangering the occupants. Also, they will get into trouble with the authority if the extension is not done according to local bylaws.

My advice is to get a proper contractor with approved design and structural calculations.
