brapa? pay municiple to upgrade?

Looks nice long porch

pencuri: hmm let see which house I need to target.

i think jes one n a half, not proper two

look like mezzanine floor oni

Legal or not?

Or depends on local govt?

Looks nice but design ugly

Bare brick sticking out the sides, ewww

1st floor I notice has a grille but 2nd floor looks like zero security measures, bad idea

This place looks like its in PJ.

depends on local zoning, yes. This isn't full 1 storey so confirm pass mia

Here in Cheras we can build up to 4 storey even provided foundations are rated for it.

The roof too minimal for 2nd floor.

It will double as oven for the day.

looks like they propped up the porch floor

But the house besides look so bad

amazing engineering

Many claim against these type of renovation. Especially the neighbors. Sometime bocor, sometimes retak

I wouldnt do that. Better to use the money to buy another house. Moreover the house stands out in the neighbourhood and this will definitely going to attract all sorts of unwanted attention.

Near my house also had one such owner of a corner double storey house. The owner demolished the whole house and rebuilt a 3 storey house on the land. During piling works, all the houses same role with mine were badly affected by the noise. The neighbours of that house suffered cracked in their homes but I believe they were compensated but still it wouldnt be the same anyone. After the house was ready, the owner only had a home blessing ceremony. Hardly anyone stays there. Few years later, it was up for auction.

The houses at the sides are 1960-1970 design.

Inkambing... 2storey terrace.. bekambing 3 storey

a house in the squalor is still a house in the squalor.

there are way too many houses like this, converting from single storey to 1.5-2 storey terraced house in Bangsar Park.

One even with see through window where you can see bathtub in luxurious marbles tiled bathroom along Jalan Maarof.

Rather buy new house in upscale area. You'll have better neighbors.
