I think the next buyer might have the same feeling as me xD haha.. Oh well, it's for own stay for now

Thanks everyone for sharing their thoughts and info. Looks like is all down the management of the strata title. Better to ask first before buying the house.

Some landed strata places like townhouse even the AC position also fixed.. it must look boring and uniform throughout. Best to ask first as some follow like condo style nothing should be added to change the facade.
Later the type of grass you can grow in the garden, also mandated by their "HOC laws" (its a bane in the US)..

Its good to have uniform looking houses geh..IMO
this eliminate all the ghetto looking extensions and zinc roof porch that make it look like wannabe shacks outside factories in Jakarta.

Is always good and bad.

Need to be mindful of potential leakage from upstairs.
