Last week I received a notification letter dated 24th September 2014 informing me that Glomac Kristal has received approval to extend the date of vacant possession from 36 to 42 months. Now we're supposed to sign a supplementary agreement to comply with authority requirements.
To be honest, I visit the site at least once a month to view the progress as I have one unit condo there. And I've already expected a delay as it took extremely long for the foundation to be completed. I'm no property expert, but one year for the foundation should definitely be a sign of delay.
This was confirmed when I received an update that the developer has requested for payment for the first 10% completion as per SPA schedule.
So back to the original intention of this post, I do NOT want to sign any agreement agreeing to receive the delay in Vacant Possession as it is my right to receive it within 36 months. I have yet to see the supplementary agreement, but is anyone there like me?
We have rights to be compensated for delay!
I will go home today and check the LAD within my SPA and also the Loan Agreement terms to ensure I will receive sufficient compensation for any interest charged and cost of housing caused by the delay.
http://www.thestar.com.my/Business/Busines...-late-delivery/I also want to warn you, since the SPA is done by Glomac's 'Panel Lawyer', they most likely will not work in your favor to get the compensation you are due. Afterall, they have some handshake agreement to become part of Glomac's panel.
So learn about your rights as a home buyer. Put your SPA lawyers to your tasks. Remember, they are supposed to be YOUR lawyer. Not some minion for the developer.
I have told my lawyer that I will sign no such agreement until they explain to me what rights for compensation I have.
