Hi guys,

I recently bought a house in Seremban and its under construction. SNP done and some portion of the loan is released to the developer and I have started servicing the interest. I even paid the cukai Tanah.

I do visit my house that is undergoing construction time to time, and I do raise issues if something is not right.

I received an email today from the senior project manager, where he highlighted that I or my representatives are NOT allowed to visit house until it is handed over to me officially.

Is this acceptable? Is this legally right? Am I now allowed to visit my own house?

Need the kindness help from you guys on this issue please.

Thanks!

Depends, while the land where the house sits is yours, the roads leading to it and land surrounding it may belong to the developer, effectively blocking you from reaching it. Unless you come with a helicopter or use a drone, that you have to check with DCA for legal opinion.

Not allowed, can go in illegally only

Imagine if there 100 houses there and everyone is raising issues about their own units during construction. The project will never finish due to having to cater to every single thing raised by the owners.

Well, usually they don't want you to see poor workmanship they are doing, nothing to do with safety. Like a semi-D in S2 developed by IJM which selling rm1.2M are using sand brick and the bricks orientation are slanting up to 30° in some parts of the wall. Or they are using class 1 PVC pipe and claim to be using class 7. Or 3 pahse wiring that actually using 1 phase.

Thanks for all the advices. But I agree with the above comment. This is the sole reason that they dont want me to go in. Cause I found many mistakes.

I know they are building 100 houses and so on and so forth. But Im paying for the house, I dont care if they build million houses. Im just asking is there anyway around this? Or the customers just have to follow what the freaking developers says??

Thanks,

You have no right to visit the under-construction property even though you have bought the property.
It is similar to buy a car and want to visit the factory to see how your car is assembled.
It doesn't make sense.

Usually the actual workers don't really care on who is visiting the site, except government officers that they will worry about. All the construction sites usually will use illegal workers.
So what you can do is visit your house after working hours, say 6-7pm where the site supervisors went back.

I urge forumer take their own due diligence on some ill advice posted.

1. You cannot enter an under-construction area simply, it is deemed intruder.
2. Work place has safety hazard issue that's why it needs to be fenced up.
3. You do not own the property until it is delivered to you, so you have no right to access the area.

A simplified version,
You buy a fried chicken at a restaurant, you have no right to demand to go inside the kitchen to see what oil and chicken they are using.

u cant go into the construction site.

if the accident (fatal one) happens, the works for the whole development need to be stop.

Well said

The sole reason you are not allow is
1 . Quality problem.
2 . Safety reason
3 .Contractor are busy

As a buyer , you can visit but alot of human obstruction.

Let's say as a buyer , according to contract , you are supposed to pay
80% of the house once the roof is constructed.

Now how do you know when they just constructed the wall and they start billing you 80% ?.

Don't forget bank DO NOT \ DON'T BOTHER to sent ppl to the site to check
the stage completion. Used to have alot of hanky panky those days

If you will notice , when the bank released 95% of your loan to developer and will cc a letter to you so that u know your interest rate will count at 90% of the loan of that day money is pay.

Now how many of you notice that after paying 95% of the load , it takes
almost 8 month(out of 24 months contractually ) to get your CF.

Does it make sense ??

There are ppl who visit the property once you had paid 90% of the loan cause
it is supposed to be 90% completed and therefore safety should not be a real issued.

I used to visit the development of my house before it was completed, the workers thought I was the contractor even though I didn't have a pass

Dress like a contractor and confirm sure can go in. If u know the person in charge, just mention his name at the guard post. Safety helmet and boot are mandatory.
