Only sofo/sovo not under hda.

Soho on the other hand can be under hda. Not all soho without hda.

Also depends on developers also. I know setia punya sofo  vped recently managed to obtain utilities under resi rate summore...if u used it for resi....i was told.

Wah this thread suddenly so hot.

Owners must be sweating.

6 month VP still no CCC.

Developer keep saying soon soon soon. Once CCC cum, any tom dick Harry can go in there Liau. Then more pictures cum out.

So unlikely CCC for few more months sum more.

Means keep paying installment and maintenance.

Owners must be sweating

taking these cheapskate "free SPA" will always lose out, depend more or less only, based on my twice experience bought properties in KL.
Because the lawyer "represent" both seller (developer) and buyers, conflict of interest. (this is NOT ALLOWED in UK, where I am living now, buyer, and seller must have TWO different Law firm to represent them). Cases in Msia, anything happen, lawyer will always side the Developer. from very small issue like retention sump, snagging, to big case like this Empire City.

So don't be cheap skate and appoint own lawyer for buying property, but the thing is, any SPA drafted by developer's lawyer, usually do not accept any negotiation of omit of any clause, it's a take it or leave it situation. That's why law-cautious people, will rather buy sub-sell.
