Hi all, thanks for the helpful advices / replies. I'm actually glad that my gf n I can be so rational come to discussing on these. Rather than like most couples said, y do both of u plan for breakup etc. it's not that we plan for it, but its always good to have things clearly stated, n never say both of u won't breakup etc. of cos we don't hope that happen, but yet need to plan for the worst.

We are both at the age of 25 yr old. It's true that its abit hard for us to buy it individually. It's around 540k property. N we both have think for quite some time. Still consulting lawyers around. And yes lawyers in Malaysia are not so experience in setting up such arrangement / agreements.

Thanks again to all of u..

Hi, my gf and I have plans to buy a property together. We're unmarried, although have plans in place to get marry in 4 years later, but you would never know what will happen in our life. So to be prudence, we have discussed and agreed to have an agreement in place in case we both breakup during the loan tenure.

Not sure if this practice is common in Malaysia, I did checked with a lawyer and he advised me to have a separate agreement (At first we thought could just add few more clauses in S&P). However, the lawyer said he has no experience in this and ask what do we want to include in the agreement. (That's why I am writing it here so that can get more opinions and suggestions from the sifus here.)
Further, I have done some research through google and noticed this is considered not something rare in overseas.

Wondering anyone here has experience or can advice us what are the items/ clauses to be included in the separate agreement? What are the steps to be taken?

Currently, followings are the items and clauses that we have thought of and planning to include it into our agreement :

1) To state clearly shareholding of ownership, ie. 50% each, as we pay downpayment and instalment on equal basis
2) Responsibilities to service loan instalments and other expenses, such as management fees (equal basis)
3) To state in case of death of any party, who will benefit the 50% share
4) In case we break the relationship, the property should be either :
    a) Firstly, offer to one of the party based on market price - To get valuer to do valuation (or)
    b) If not, sell it to open market and share an even portion of 50% each

These are currently points that we've thought of. However, there're some areas need to be analysed further and planned for. Such as :

Point No 2 : If one party refuse to serve the instalment, what are the actions/ remedies available to counter such situation?
Point No 4(b) If either party disagree with the selling price for selling to third party, what are the solutions available?

PS : If anyone has done this before, appreciate if you dont mind to share me the sample of agreement.

Thank you so much in advance.

Hair. U all...
What so hard? Just goto ROM 1st lor.
Later then goto buy house. Then slowly have wedding dinner, photo, etc.
My friend ROM 1st get house. After 5yrs then have big big wedding ceremony, Henry moon, etc..
So just swap your idea of get house 1st to ROM 1st. As simple as it..
And ROM won't cost much. Can get a gold ring with current low gold price value.

You can write whatever agreement, clause you want.

But in property, if it is joint name, then both needs to sign before the property can be sold, or do whatever on the property.
This is ultimate.

So if face off time, do you think the other party still want to fulfill the clause set in the agreement?
For eg.
You write both party must equally pay the instalment, now the other party now refuse to pay,
What action you can do?
I only know the first thing bank will do is auction the property if no instalment being paid. tongue.gif

If I'm not mistaken, bank negara set a rule that only married couple can apply for loan, correct?

Must prepare for the worst even you two can think rationally now doesn't mean that 2 years down the road are still the same..

I've seen this before, good ones and the bad ones..

Check the loan first if u planning to apply loan with 2 person join together.
Good luck. smile.gif

It is not like 3 or 4 buddies (male and female but no love relationship exist here ) combine their resources to buy property for the purpose of making a profit and all will agree to sell when the time is right......

Women think differently from men...believed me not.......when the lady is in a relationship with you and you break it up......what's the phrase? ......"Hell halt no fury like a woman scorned" ...............

Go buy your own property......or wait until you marry her....then can share share........

Definition of 'Trust Deed'

1. A formal document which outlines the terms of a trust agreement.

2. A common way to structure real estate purchases, where the title to a property is held in trust until the loan for the property is paid.

get a lawyer that know how to handle this.
