Hi all.

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

would like to seek help from you guys... sad.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif
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.... sad.gif
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  shocking.gif  )
2) told me that he dunno it is a Bumi lot ( which is at 1st he VERY SURE it is not )  mad.gif

And now he still refuse to pay back my deposit. sad.gif
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?  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

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.

call him up again, record your conversation with him......poor you.. The unit , his lawyer and himself could also be no body to that unit you bought) .. be careful....
