Hi all.

FYI: I was told http://www.miea.com.my/ this can help me. Any success case can share with me?

would like to seek help from you guys...    
I was lured into a trap by a real estate agency into purchasing a Bumi lot.
The 1st time when I go n view the house, the first thing i asked is whether it is a Bumi lot
the agent confirm me it is not....
And then after all deal, I have paid 3% deposit to him. When I was giving him the cheque, the owner part is not signed yet.
When he give me the confirmation letter after the owner sign I saw he is a malay.

When I feel it is some kind fishy, I asked him again whether it is a Bumi lot, he again vy confirm and sure that it is not.
I feel not safe and I go and google the unit. End up I saw the unit is auction before at 2009, and it is a BUMI LOT!!

And then suddenly his lawyer called and I asked the lawyer to confirm it and finally it is confirmed.
I called up the agent and try to cancel the deal with him and get back my deposit as it will be issue in transferring the title for the unit.

What the agent do is:
1) try to convinced me to buy the unit ( where he has the way to change the title    )
2) told me that he dunno it is a Bumi lot ( which is at 1st he VERY SURE it is not ) 

And now he still refuse to pay back my deposit.
If I know it is a BUMI LOT i won't proceed with the purchasing. 

Anyone face the same cases before or anyone got any good suggestion what to do?   

My lesson is " Do not fully trust your agent" and try to do lot of research yourself. Even no help given, I hope this give some tips to other property buyer.

Real estate agent may want to protect their own rice bowl , but I saw most of them is not responsible .some more always try to create story. I would like to say we are buying property which is affect in whole life and not cheap. Please be more honest and responsible
