I bought a unit there.

Noticed the student issue thing but seems like they are doing something about it which is good. Might take time to get the students out though.

Security wise it is quite tight too so there is nothing to worry I think.. hehe

I've not moved in there yet.

Has anyone started on the renovation? Any ideas? I heard that they only allow certain type of home grills etc. Is this true?

Not sure for this, better ask the management.

their answer is not consistent, i reconfirm with the person who called me regarding the RM100, she said this is not including for rubbish clearing incurred by reno.
(previously she called my wife and mention abt rubbish clearing)

she said this RM100 is for security and management team as they do "extra" works for us during reno, ie, open the door for contractor to enter into the residences, helps us to keep an eye, process our application for reno which include paper works... =.=|||
if you claim back the RM2000 and 3 months later or soon, you reno on other parts, you have to pay RM2k and RM100 processing fees again
so as long as u did not claim the deposit back, it is still consider under reno
but she said this fee will go to our own management account and not the developer account, so this will be our future fund.

student issues > she said management had done their best and whateva they could, but the issue still persist
hope we the residents can form our own committee to solve this by ourself.

I am not sure how far this is true as their reply is not consistent as well as never reply in black and white
i email to them but they call me up and after that just reply my email --- "Our community affairs team have called and brief you on the matters, hope you are soothed with the management explanation."

Hi Bro,

Bro, you have moved in already? Actually what's the problem renting to students? Unless they are noisy or disturb the community's well being, I don't think it's an issue. I am pretty sure you were once a student as well. smile.gif

I think everyone has answered on behalf of me already.

I saw for myself. All motorbikes, they make noise and hang clothes everywhere.

They are required to register their names everytime they enter and now from what I last heard they just ride in and pass the guard without registering (even after being whistled by the guard).

I would like to see how the management handles this issue before concluding whether to purchase a unit of Jimbaran. hmmm...

Anyone did their kitchen extension? Are you allowed to fully extend or only half?

I saw most houses extended half only.

Thanks.

Any updates on the full extension budget?

20k++ just wet works to extend fully to the back, separate wall for tank. Not partial extension and no table top. Thick rebars, roof, concrete slab above and so forth. Still under progress..

I just bought a unit there for own occupation. Today i went there to check defection and saw a lot of students there playing basketballs in the middle of roads and few malay guys are with motorbike driving here and there..
I was thinking whether i choose right township == i feel very unsecure with all this...

You'll need to make a complaint to the management. They will do something about it. The more the residents complaint, the higher the chances of something being done.

It is not an internet cafe. Opening an internet cafe is absolutely impossible. it is just a student home with a long table in the hall and multiple PCs are there. It has an internet cafe look only. man u guys...

First and foremost, why is there a need for such long table with multiple pc? To do research? rclxms.gif

Probably. You know its like in student houses... underwear also they hang at the window LOL.. and yes I still don't support it but it is not an internet cafe la..

At night its really nice and quiet though. I'm sure once more people start moving in, family wise I think things will be better. With Jimbaran etc coming up, prices will def shoot up.

IMHO, student houses will be depleted by then moreover they have stopped allowing rental to students.

A strong RA is a must.

Wheres your unit? You've moved in permanently or still reno?

Potted plants/grass probably but I don't encourage those with deep roots....else, you won't know what's going to happen in the future....plus, it may crawl to your neighbours house via underground....extra problems may arise

I think i'm just gonna either fill it up so i have a slightly bigger living room area or place rocks/pebbles to fill it......or one of those water fountain thingy  laugh.gif

By the way, anybody did full extension of the kitchen? I mean, even extending the tanks area? Or is the mgt adamant on not allowing us to renovate the whole backyard  hmm.gif
*
You can extend towards the tank area, just make sure the tanks are still there. Real bummer of rules if you ask me IMHO, considering that its your own house.

Attached Image

Always remember that the local council supersedes any other mgt. As long as you follow through the local council rules and don't have any roof tiles protruding out from your area, you're fine.

The pic is just after extension, tanks are back at its place.

The main concern is the mosquitoes in the area. Even though theres constant fogging going on, I don't think it will entirely solve the problem as the mosquitoes will eventually get immune to the fogging.

The root issue is with the water areas, tanks etc. It needs to be well maintained. Well, I'll give it time to see how their idea progresses before I were to make my own escalation to the relevant authorities.

Sometimes I don't see why the need for management fees when everyone sounds like they are bloody sleeping in the office!!!!!!!!!!

Hey , thanks for sharing for the photo. But did you know how much for this renovation?  icon_question.gif

Kitchen alone should be about 25++. Includes tiles, roof, concrete slab, wiring etc etc plus thicker rebars.

Hey Kevin, how much it costs u to make an extension like that in the kitchen? Did u break the original walls (the one separating dry kitchen and ur new extended area)?
*
As mentioned earlier, 25k ++.

Yes broke all walls at the downstairs room, extended to the back. There is one structure pillar at the room wall, that you cant break. Meaning the whole kitchen is square with one pillar but its not too bad cuz its near the door though.

Yeah, it's a real bummer if we can't do what we want....it's individual title for god's sakes but we have to deal with the management which may change over time and doesn't even live there :S

I have no idea what is the use of the tanks at the back when we don't have a backyard to even use it with......and we already have one in front for our car washing etc. So the back one is really redundant  cry.gif

I'm planning to put mosquito netting...although won't be that nice but heck, i don't want to get aedes/dengue!

Yea netting sounds good. Theres this magnetic type. Cant remember the brand its detachable at anytime and the price goes by sq ft.

Thanks for reply. In that case better ask the previous owner to get it fixed from developer b4 handing it to u. Coz if im not mistaken, once handed over to u as subsale, warranty may no longer be valid under ur hands.
