Don't buy landed with strata title if can't afford pay for maintenance. It is your decision. Once decision had made, then don't complaint MUCH here and there. No one force you buy.

Yes, this is my point. Becareful when choosing a property! If not careful, you may suffer later by deceitful developers.

But why only landed with strata title face this issue? condo no issue? 

First of all, the reason why many JMB face shortages of funds are because of people like you. Always skeptical that JMB gasak money lah, increase fees lah. Please la, I welcome all increases in management fees. In fact, I worry they do not increase enough. Few hundred extra is nothing compared to the headache of less well maintained properties because of shortage of funds. High fees = well maintained properties = easy to sell, easy to rent = high market value of your properties! Don't fret over small money.

Developers are divided into two: incompetent and competent. Among the competent developers, there are sincere ones and cunning ones.

Horizon Hills in Nusajaya is developed by a sincere developer. They only charge between RM100 to RM150 for security and maintenance. Clubhouse is optional with an additional fee of RM100. Golf membership is also optional. Yet the landscape beautiful, neat and well-maintained. The property value is superb.

We need to pay adequate maintenance and security fee, not too low and not too high. Paying too high for maintenance and security fee reflects inefficient spending of community money.

Strata Title Act (Act 757) requires the participation of developer even after the property has been delivered. The owners are not at liberty to choose maintenance contractors which offer best value for money. This is a flaw of the Act. The Act was drafted by mainly consulting the developers, not owners of properties.

Same advice. Careful when choosing one. Keep an eye of the developer. Last time, condos have lots of issues. For landed, you will have more rights owning an individual title than owning strata title. But if choose the one with strata title, becareful. 

Horizon Hill strata or individual?

Boss. Individual title.

i think i can see where this thread is heading to...

Despite being gated and guarded, Horizon Hills offers individual title. They also have anti-climb fences and security cameras. The value is much higher than EcoBotanic.

Buying landed strata title does not mean you will have a higher value than landed individual title. Paying higher maintenance fee does not mean you will have a greater value than paying moderate maintenance fee.
