Can buyer cancel booking after signing offer to purchase and without paying booking fees yet?

Does the buyer oblige to pay the booking fees after signing offer to purchase

i also wan to know leh ...
if just give deposit, can cancel and get full refund, right ?

No developers would let you book a unit without getting booking fee from you. Or else, it is only a reservation, not booking.

Unless you know the boss or senior management well, booking fee is normally non-refundable.

why you want to cancel? how come you got to sign SP without paying anything

I haven't sign S&P yet, I only signed the offer to purchase agreement.

usually in an offer to purchase there will be a certain clause or provision that will govern termination....thats binds yourself and the other party...

but a standard offer to purchase would state that your deposit will be forfeited..

I believe under condition you failed to secure a bank loan you MAY able to get full refund

er.... i call my developer just now, they tell me can cancel and get full refund if i dun wan to buy. dunno got wat extra charget or not.

Most developers won't refund the booking fee at all or in full. Some admin costs still count.

Unless the project hasn't obtained AP & DL, then the pre-booking via cheque has to be undertaken by lawyer. The booking fee in this context is refundable in full if you cancel your booking before AP & DL are obtained from the Ministry of Housing.

You are lucky. I guess the developer is a small timer and the project is not located within the Klang Valley, right? Or else, perhaps they haven't obtained AP and DL yet.

yup, they dun have AP / DL yet, and it is not small developer, is DNP land leh, listed company.

If DNP hasn't obtained AP and DL from the Ministry of Housing yet, they can't collect money directly from purchasers. If they want you to pay booking fee, your cheque will be detained by lawyer and will only be released to DNP until AP and DL are obtained. As such, you can withdraw your booking and get back your cheque during that period.

May I know which project do you refer to? Bukit Ceylon?
