Dear all,
Please advice me on the following situation...
1) I went to look at a house
2) Agents said its a non bumi lot
3) Pays deposit sign documents obtain a resit. 3.5% deposit paid. and he told us upon cancellation from Party A (my party my deposit is forfeited) and cancellation from Party B (Owner must pay double)
4) Receive a call from Agent saying Party B says its a bumi lot despite numerous times confirming that its a non bumi lot.
What do I do next ? can I request for the double payment ? or can I sue ?
Is there a location where I can chck for status of house ? bumi or non bumi ?
Thanks =)

QUOTE(dariofoo @ Oct 10 2012, 11:01 AM) If it is indeed designated as a non-bumi but the seller is lying about it and refuse to proceed, you can sue for specific performance or terminate the agreement to purchase and claim for the penalty stipulated. You can check with the developer, and local authority as well. Thanks for the reply Dario =) however what happens if the lot is a bumi lot ? wouldnt it still be a mistake from the agent ? can I take action ? or do I just reclaim the deposit ? please do advice me Dario, Thanks =) |

You can't just rely on the word of the agent. You can demand for a refund of the deposit and move on. Thanks Dario, appreciate the advice given... =) |
