Would you buy a 2nd hand house to stay yourself? Let say buying from the first hand house owner.

What are the stuffs to consider for a 2nd hand house?
What is the hidden/future cost besides the selling price, S&P legal fee, S&P stamp duty and MOT tamp duty?

Any opinion on house (new and 2nd hand) at JB area?

for me of course i'd buy a 2nd house house, cause usually it's cheaper than a new or under construction houses... but then i'd repaint the house first before I move in, if the house is quite old

anyway just like TS, i also want to know about those S&P legal fee, S&P stamp duty and MOT tamp duty for 2nd hand house...

and TS, sorry I know nothing about houses in JB

2nd hand sure cheaper meh ? i think also need to see the location 1 leh.

I'm looking for 2nd house too. I think we can readily assess the neighborhood and we know what to expect.

I'm also dun hv much knowledge on S&P and other legal matters

btw, i'm looking at Tmn Melati or Wangsa Maju area...

2nd house is not 2nd hand house...

In JB i am not sure about the price, but in KL, most of the prices are way expensive than new house, So for me I will choose new house, because maintainance also low, and some more if got 2nd hand house, don't know the owner have done what things with the house.

Without so much problematic isue, I will choose new house, and you also can read some post here that when they buy 2nd hand house got so much problem with the owner, contract and etc.....

typo...it should be 2nd hand
