QUOTE(dariofoo @ Apr 27 2012, 11:46 AM) 1. Owner can still sell it to another person and tell the same story right? That the title is with the developer and that the dev will transfer it to purchaser B. I have the quotation:2. That would depend on what is stated in the SPA. Check it. 3. I would advise you to do it. 4. Why so expensive? Legal fees for lodgment and removal is RM450.00. Lodgment fees ought to be RM300 while withdrawal ought to be RM70.00. Got a quote to back this up or did your lawyer just verbally inform you? 1. If I'm the first one who engages with the developer, it should be okay, right? I already signed the SnP, he will sign next week and then my lawyer will proceed with the MOT. 2. Yes, it is stated under Vendor's default. 2X 3. I know it is meant to protect my interest. But, I just think that it is too expensive. 4. I got quotation, of course. It is as below. For SnP, Professional charge - RM350 Private caveat - RM380 For legal, Professional charge - RM350 Private caveat - RM420 Total up RM1500. |

I need advice on responding to a threat of taking "legal action" against me made by a real estate agent on Facebook.
![]() The agent feels threatened by me because she claims I sabotaged her ad by stating the terms and conditions of what the tenancy contract entails. As a consumer, I have the right to help other consumers make a wise choice. You'll see that the offensive comment I wrote is exactly what she mentions about the tenancy contract. The whole story is documented here and compares what she said vs. my side: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23546828/penthouse/My%20side.docx |

Hi dariofoo,
I bought a house in 2010. the house should be handed over to me on March 2012, but progress is now only 60%. The s&p signed on march 2010. Currently did not paid anything to bank cause no progress claim from the developer. Today i got a call from bank said that i need to top up additional rm1400 for the insurans. And if i not pay, they will not release the payment to the developer. This is their 1st claim. Should i pay the additional amount? Can i claim to developer via tribunal later? Tq |

QUOTE(Split^rOck @ Apr 27 2012, 05:10 PM) Need some advice here. What if i paid the 2% deposit to a property agent and then only find out the following situations, am i still entitle for the refund of full amount or partial amount: You would have signed a Letter of Offer to Purchase. Check the terms and conditions there. Case 1: Bank evaluated value is lower than what being told by the agent. Case 2: Bank evaluated value is the same or higher than the purchase price. But i only got 80% loan instead of 90% loan as expected |

It's an empty threat which is baseless and has no merit. It's an open forum and anyone is entitled to give opinions and information. Misrepresentation does not arise in this case. Neither does defamation as you have not defamed her in any way. I would not worry about it. |

QUOTE(ahmadpintu @ Apr 29 2012, 09:17 PM) Hi dariofoo, This 'insurans' payment is between you and the bank. Nothing to do with developer. You can only claim agreed liquidated damages from the developer, the calculation of which will be in your SPA. You can't claim this payment from them. I bought a house in 2010. the house should be handed over to me on March 2012, but progress is now only 60%. The s&p signed on march 2010. Currently did not paid anything to bank cause no progress claim from the developer. Today i got a call from bank said that i need to top up additional rm1400 for the insurans.

QUOTE(nagflar @ May 2 2012, 12:00 PM) Gross gain is Purchase Price (when you bought) less Selling Price (current selling price). However, what is calculated is nett gain.Thus, it is 10% or 5% of your nett gain, not from the price of the property at either time. So, whatever costs/expenses which you spent on the property, like legal fees , renovation and upkeep costs, agent fees, can be deducted. You can download a copy of Form CKHT 1A from the net to see what the allowable deductions are. There's a detailed sample and calculation in v1 of this thread which may be useful to you.

She is painting me to be the bad guy. It's very unprofessional for her the so-called registered real-estate agent who provides misleading information and threatening to take legal action on people who give out the real facts.She thinks she has lost a few potential tenants due to the contract terms explained. |

Why are you worried if you know that you are on the right side? All you need to do is to report what is right. That's it. Let others read and judge for themselves. She has made an empty baseless threat against you. Why aggravate things further by replying to her? Do you think she will let you have the last word anyway? Of course it will go on and on and then, everyone will assume that you have a hidden and personal agenda against that particular agent, hence your act of posting in her thread/wall.I'd advise you to just let it be. QUOTE(thistle @ May 2 2012, 02:44 PM) Mission accomplished for you then. |
