Hello all.

I plan to buy my first property, a low-rise apartment, priced 70k as quoted by the owner.

Since it is my first property, I am not sure with the procedures,
especially since I am buying through owner, and not via developer.

Here are some of the questions I have :

[1] Do I need to appoint a lawyer to act on by behalf, and if it advisable to do so, how much will it cost ?

[2] Who will bear the cost of SPA signing, & any other fees for the sales ?

[3] If the owner bought the house by taking bank loan, do I need to pay the remaining balance to the bank
or is it the owner's responsibility to pay it ?

Thanks in advance.

abit risky if go without agent/ direct to owner

when you pay booking fee, can you trust the owner that he wont run away with the booking money? Is there receipt?

1. yes, advisable to appoint a lawyer even for placing the booking fee....and you have to have lawyer regardless of dealing with or without agent
2. spa is by buyer...other fees like loan agreement, etc - buyer
3. you will pass the money to your lawyer, and your lawyer will transfer to owner - if everything in order
