With regard to the fees, please check the many samples in v1 of this thread. Do note though, that the RM100 for S/D-LOU should not be charged.

alvinchien:


1. You can demand it from him in writing using your own letterhead and sending it to him by courier/registered post. Alternatively, you can appoint a lawyer to do so. You should not ask the agent to assist you to appoint a lawyer to sue the vendor, as the agent is basically acting for the vendor to sell the house to you. Better get one of your own. Ask family and friends for recommendation.

2. Quite good. I can't see how he can wriggle out of what he has agreed in writing.

3. Letter of demand -> civil suit -> summary judgment -> you (should) win -> enforce judgment against him.

4. In your letter of demand, you can put in 7 days, failing which you would institute legal proceedings against him.

thanks, what if bank reject my loan application and lawyer has done some work on it, what will happen? any charges from lawyer?

Just pay him transport charges and land search fees - total maybe RM50-60. If he so berkira la. At end of the day, you can still tell him that you'll appoint him for the next purchase. I doubt if he'll charge you full fees yet as the draft SPA has yet to be drawn up.

Thx bro, as for the legal fees, isn't it the charges is standard and calculated based on amount bracket? in what sense that some lawyer charges more? and where does the $$ difference comes from?

Why only he but not she? Joking.

Not only land search n transportation charges. Also got postage,paper & File total RM10,bankruptcy search also hefty sum.

Those are scaled fees for preparation of SPA. That RM50-60 in my last post refers to disbursements (expenses). That is not fixed.

Bro, any reference using the male gender term also denotes female gender and vice versa. Quite standard clause in all agreements. If I want to type he/she or "he or she" in every answer I'll seriously pengsan after awhile.


Land search - RM30, transport to land office would be RM10/20. Bankruptcy search no need to do now as the purchaser is only getting the title search out now to pass it over to the bank. I think that was the question. I don't think there's any postage/paper/file charges at this stage.

hi Dario, if buy subsale house, after sign snp and loan agreement, can i start to renovate the house? or need to wait untill all the process 100% comfirm ok only start to renovate?

Hi Dariofoo,

I need some help here!
I've bought and subsale freehold house and done signing SNP and paid the lawyer. Then I took the SNP to apply for loan.

The problem is: The address in the SNP is wrong ! The bank told me that it might have difficulties in disbursement later.

The wrong address in the SNP:
123, Jalan Bunga Merah 5, Taman Bunga Merah, Selangor.


Whereas the address previous SNP and Land search:
123, Jalan Bunga 5, Taman Bunga Merah, Selangor.

(additional of Merah in address) (*fake address).


Will it be a problem? The lawyer and the buyer has already banked in the cheque.
What should I do now?
The lawyer is on leave today, I cannot contact her..

Please advise, thanks!

The vendor has agreed to allow you to do so? Well, there is a risk involved - especially if you haven't got a loan approved yet. Safest is to wait until you're confirmed as the registered owner at the end, before you start work.

Small matter. Can be amended anytime. Call your lawyer on Monday to get it changed. Small mistakes like that do happen.

If the same happened in your letter offer with bank, you can walk in to the bank branch to amend it

Thank you dariofoo and kok_pun for your advise !

Hi dariofoo,

I need some professional advise from your. My grandpa(deceased) leave a house for his 5 sons, eldest son 1 share, 2nd son 1 share, 3rd son 1share, 4th son 1 share and 5th son(my father) 1 share. So apparently on that time whereby my grandpa wrote this will, my father(youngest son) is under 18 year old, so my grandpa had assigned his eldest son as a trustee for my father share(there is another legal letter stated this which holding by my grandpa eldest son). In short saying that, his eldest son holding 2 share now. Now my father already 50+, he want to take back the share which holding by my grandpa eldest son long enough, what is the procedures? I check the house title, my grandpa eldest son got 2 name in there, which means got 2 share belong to him now.

There is some interest of conflict going on among all the brothers now, is there any legal way to take back my father portion? Or putih2 see these predator eat up my father share?
