My experience dealing with booking without APDL once you have locked in the unit with developer, the developer usually will not allow name swapping to prevent profiteering as well as under table. Despite not bank in your cheque due to regulation, developer has all details and you cannot simply swap or let go your unit without approval from developer.

Check with agent/developer for those interested.

Lakeville will be walkable to mrt2 only if the proposed access road to jalan kepong is built.

Also one issue play against Lakeville... mrt2 will only operational in 2022...when is the targeted completion for lakeville? End of 2017? Owners need to hold 4-5years before seeing any spillover impact from mrt2...

Also if I didnt wrongly... Lakeville only first few floors facing carpark were cheap.. above podium..majority I believe >rm600psf

It is "walkable"... But sweaty walk

For fairer comparison... What is the price of this final block? In lakeville thread, a forumner said price has up by 20% which mean the cheapest probably starts from rm675psf*978sqft=rm660k for 3bedrooms.

Then again between 2019 and 2022... A good 3years waiting time before you can feel the impact mrt2.
One good thing about lakeville... the units come almost fully fitted... Reduce the renovation cost.

Not bad the price then. So what is the cheapest for those units above podium level?
Mind to share the walking route from LV to mrt station?

I think rica's construction period is 4years therefore completion is early 2021. Ie less than a year to wait for first phase mrt to be operational.

Yes, you can renovate cheaply...but mahsing provide quite comprehensive and decent quality of the furnishing and credit must be given for that.

I think good debate and discussion
As investor, we can't run away from comparing to invest in product that generate the best return for our money.

Clear ceiling height from floor is 10.5'.

Personally.. i think direct product comparison with Lakeville will be Ecosky and Mizuni/ Henge due to timing of launch, location, product, density etc.

Rica direct competition is Court28 and Pano.

Fennels and Capers obviously one or two grades above the rest above.

Actually... With the entry of MRT.. it will bode well for the residents and property prices along jalan Ipoh. Whether viva, rivercity or putra majestic. It is question of which horse that you plan to pick that fit within your analysis.

As for Rica, I believe many pick it because close proximity distance to MRT station, size and configuration of layout, multiple access and price.

If you look at other high density location such as Old Klang Road, Jalan Puchong, Mont Kiara etc.. They do not even have any alternate public transport currently.....

Also for Rica, the entrance timing is quite sui as the expected VP will be early of 2021 where phase 1 MRT2 expected to be operational by end of 2021.

If you buy existing condo along jalan Ipoh, you need to hold for few years before reaping the MRT2 effect. Even Court28 the VP expected in 2019, a good 2-3years before MRT is operational.

Maybe planc can share the proposed or approved access road to jalan kepong / MRT station? I remember it was about 800m. Unless there is pedestrian bridge across the lake.

Usually will form part of the development order and requirement imposed by local authority before can obtain CCC. If it is not there... totally up to developer's discretion to build it OR mouth of commitment.

Yes the services can be specified as part of SPA and therefore the tab will be picked by owners. It can be a good USP if residents use the service.

Bound to happen when try to make comparison for investment purpose.

Rica Melaka is FB"s current ongoing project

They have a project in kinrara also called Rica which will be launched next year.

Icemanfx you have been preaching property bubble since?

This reminds me of another forumner called toptail in another forum.

Good luck if you choose this route and holding off your purchase and wait for crash.

I can assure you... When it is real crash... You will have no balls to enter the market. As it is equate to catching a falling knife.

When was your last purchase? Anyway, I think this is wrong the thread to talk about bubble.

Tbh, the only people who can take advantage of bubble (or u call it as blood is knee deep) is investors with deep cash. If you plan to buy with bank loan when blood is deep knee, then good luck to you.

Now drop off units emerge from the agent?

Have a door@bathroom opened to living is better for privacy purpose. Otherwise ur guests need to enter ur bedroom before use the bathroom.
