everywhere also appreciation slow... to buy landed at outskirt area now as investment is definitely nt working... the holding cost might cost more than your appreciation... at here you can just say that you can get to stay in a decent size landed that surrounded with basic amenities for an affordable pricing....   

well strata title has its pro and con... its better from security aspect... less headache on the collection of maintenance fees compared to individual title F&G landed...

at least rm6.60 per way if using guthrie NKVE kesas... cheapest will be guthrie to federal highway... but peak time sure jam like hell since federal now is toll-less...

townhouse
at best you can only do tandem parking. so think abt this point.

even strata, you still can extend the rear of your house, of course subject to 'approved designs' by JMB, not like individual title's link where everyone suka suka can extend.

frankly speaking... you have no definitive answer on this... alot of developers have different team handling different projects... they do well on other projects doesn't mean it will be consistent on all other projects... my fren's LBS project defects alot but some other units defects lesser and their response time is quite slow... but in the end he manage to ask them to repair all defects and renovate to move in.... as long as the developer wont take your money and abandon... all is well...

based on this area's developers profile... maybe only EW or IJM are the one with better workmanship....
