I was one of the bidder for this unit when the price was around RM 167K. The amount that was owed by the ex-owner to the developer was around RM 35K. But this info wasn't disclosed to me by the management / the lelong bank / or the agent until I won the bid and secured the unit. Then the nightmare happen when the developer demand me to pay the extra RM 35K+ excluding RM 18k Maintenance fees to get them to transfer title to them. When I asked the agent/ bank, both side say they dont know about this amount as well, bank claimed they already disburse money to developer, nothing left, but developer said the opposite.

My lawyer helped to fight but after back and forth, developer still insist I pay this RM 35k only they can settle. So I forfeit the lelong and lost my RM 16k down payment for the lelong.

After that, the agent only list down the total outstanding amount for the ex-owner (RM 35k) to warn any buyer that are interested in this unit.

Rather unfair for me, but i guess lesson learnt for a lelong unit.
