I sincerely doubt the value of strata lies with the uniformed houses. Its more the security feature and the fact everyone will have to chip in for maintenance and not have a few arseholes that refuse to pay for security etc.

Infact I would say the cons of strata is not being able to renovate. This 'restriction' is primarily used due to strata being for condo/highrise previously, now that it has come to landed, i think the 'no reno' ruling should be re-looked.

The point of buying landed but cannot reno is that, ppl cannot pakat dont pay maintenance cause if they do u can use Strata Act and sita the stuff in their house to pay for arrears.
