I found a 18X65 sq.ft property in Taman JP Perdana, Austin, Johor. The property is a second hand but brand new property, selling at RM295K with wire fencing + guard. Considering the price, it's cheap as nowadays, a 20x70 sq. ft property here cost around RM400K. The developer for this housing project went bankrupt few years back. It was then revived and the property is now completed. I am kind of worried there will be future problems.

Secondly, the property agent told me that I need to pay around 2.5% of total property value for SPA fees and another 1% for agent commission. That will cost me around RM10K. I read Agent Fee that the 1% should not be born by me. Is the agent taking advantage of me.

Besides these fee, what else of expenses should I know of?

Thirdly, I also found another property nearby the first one. Same size but different developer (better established developer than first one) with brick wall fencing + guard. This one is a new property and will be completed in 2014. It's selling at RM363K inclusive of SPA + stamp duty. My dilemma, how would you choose if you are me?

Yea. I am not in hurry. It's slightly above my budget though.

I see.thanks.I am not sure as well on what is included in the agent 2.5% she told me.i think i will contact her again

It is cube 166 type. I think it is not spsetia or mahsing.it was an abandoned project previously. The 363k is at la gardens.

295k is cube 166. 363k is the newly launched ak10 and ak11 type at la garden.
