Dunno whether is there anyone can help here. Just try my luck and share my bad experience here.

I was eyed on a condo and decide to buy the unit. Owner and i deal all the way through agent. Owner is located in UK and this property was take care by his brother who stay in KL. I've paid deposit 3% and sign for the booking forms, for the owner part agent email owner the document to sign and then owner email back to us. Once this booking form done, we proceed to lawyer for SPA. We both (owner and i) using the same lawyer. 2 weeks later, lawyer ready with thr SPA and owner rushing lawyer to pass the document to his relative who is going to visit owner is few days later, so lawyer just pass over the document. Once the document reach UK which is owner's hand, owner suddenly decide not to sell the condo to me. Owner verbally or sms inform the lawyer and agent as well.

Ok, since owner black out and advise from lawyer is owner need to write a letter said that he want to terminate this deal with me. But owner slowly disappear which lawyer and agent unable to get him at all. I suppose to claim back my deposit and compensation from owner but now i do not know what to do at all. Lawyer did write a letter to owner which giving 2 weeks time to response back to us, if he fail to do so we will automatically assume he cancel the deal.

What i heard from agent is my 3% deposit is still with the agent. Agent agree to give it back to me only when owner write the termination letter to me. And now agent trying to avoid the responsibility to reimburse compensation for me from the owner. Agent just throw me the words with if u wan to get back the compensation you go find lawyer and sue owner. I was wonder is it agent suppose to help me reimburse compensation from owner???? I did talk to agency's principle, at first he seem willing to help on this case but after he discuss with the agent, he feedback me the same things like the agent. Ask me go find lawyer sue the owner if i want get back my compensation. Principle said if huge amount then he will try to help me fight back my compensation. Even my 3% compensation is just RM7k doesn't mean i cant get the same services like those who buying 1million property??

Now i was thinking to go association to complain about this agency with this kind of services their provided to me. Anyone can give me some advise what should i do to get back my compensation? Very appreciate if you can share to me. Thanks!
