Imagine you bought an apartment/condominium(before they built it) in Malaysia, according to the agents, it's like a revolution, having a large swimming pool, spacious hall etc.

Now when you the building is completed, you face problems such as :
1) swimming pool not as big as promised
2) facilities not complete(such as public transport which they supposedly said will be completed 6months ago)
3) the property you bought is (lets say 1500sq/ft) but when you measure, it's much lesser(lets say 1350sq/ft)
4) rude management who answers back and turning their back on you.
5) the apartment is not properly built as in having stagnant water at some areas when you pour water in the whole house.
6) Not being informed about the surroundings(such as what is located outside the compound of the property)
7) real estate negotiators(so called) who calls/sms you asking whether you wanna sell/rent your property when you have informed the developers and the respective agents not to call/sms you.

What would you do??
I'm having all this difficulties/problems.
Anyone with any experience or advice,  please write it down here.

Thank you.
bear in mind that you have seen the show house and it's in perfect condition.(just like every show houses)

It is advisable to see whether those claims are in S&P.
1) Its a common facility so prob it'll have a exclusion clause stating that it is subject to changes by developer. You should know that.
2) depending on what type of facilities, sometimes it'll be phased out. As for public transportation, they only provide those stops. Other still need to depend on local authority
3) if s&P stated 1500sf then its 1500sf, period. Else u can sue them. Btw did u measure those small places like balcony & risers?
4) most of the time happens due to them unable to handle all complaints esp during VP.
5) complaint to mgt since bld is not always 100% perfect. It happens even in luxury properties.
6) Sometime it will affect sales, other cos they really no idea since not their land.
7) just hang up la, its just an offer

Yes, you are right. That was what I first thought when the measurements ain't even close to the specifics.
So, the second time, at each wall, I add up about 2 inches, obviously it was closer but still quite far. So, I decide to just use 5 inches, it is almost the same like what was in the SPA but the walls can't possibly be 5inches. It is approximately 2 inches only.

To be on the safe side, I would get a surveyor to do the appropriate measurements.

I have even ask other residents whether they have measured their property, they would give me answers like "what is a few square feet", meaning that it doesn't matter since it's a small issue.

Yes, I admit it's not an alarming situation but it's the matter of principles. I hope you get what I mean.

As said, methods of measurement will be different & the internal wall will be taken into account as well. Most internal walls will be around 112mm width. So u use width of internal x the length of internal walls & add up to whatever area u've got.
