QUOTE(bbjslee @ Mar 26 2007, 05:36 PM) but because CIMB loan interest is very attractive ler..it's only 5.65% ler that's why i take that bank QUOTE(the65thsquare @ Mar 26 2007, 05:41 PM) Always get your own lawyer. Bank's lawyers usually don't service you that well cuz Bank is bigger customer to them. 1st time buying house ler...no experience I was unlucky enough to get an incompetent one who didn't file at the proper time, delayed the deal by 3 months (costing me 3 months of added costs) and f-ed up my life for a few months. Cost me much less then your fee for similar loan amount. BTW, there is a law on how much the lawyer can charge you. first 100K got percent, then next 100K got another percent figure. Cannot change one, so better ask if the sodding lawyer is charging you 500 for phones calls and photostats. Maybe includes other fees such as caveat. *sigh* |

QUOTE(the65thsquare @ Mar 26 2007, 06:16 PM) Perhaps it is because you go for the special rates that is why you have to go for higher lawyer fee. Wait till they send the evaluators around and charge you another few hundred bucks. so many snake around Aiya... everybody kena con wan lah when buying house or car. So many costs they force on you and you have no choice but to pay. You complain no action will be taken, you go court waste more time and money. Just read your post again. I think you got penalty once the offer letter out and you don't take the offer. Very snake one... go read your offer letter properly. If you want to change lawyers, I can recommend the one I used. Quite fair lah the pricing. |

QUOTE(bbjslee @ Mar 27 2007, 10:02 AM) Actually forgot to ask you for details. sorry for the late reply was busy with the housing thingy buying a house can be in such a painYour current lawyer is for S&P or Loan agreement? Your house is 2nd hand or new (purchase frm developer)? 1. the lawyer fee is for the loan agreement the S&P no need to pay the fee 2. the house is new, still in development, will complete end of this year, the developer is vilamas sdn. bhd the project is call villa pavillion QUOTE(the65thsquare @ Mar 26 2007, 06:52 PM) My loan amount was similar to yours. I paid slightly less than 2K. About 1800 like that I think. Inclusive of a few hundred extra for caveat and some document running, fax and telephone calls. sorry for the late reply also, yeah i'll give the banker a call to see if i'm allow to do so, else then no choice lar But first, you have to check with your bank if you can use your own lawyer. I'm sure you can because it is unfair of the bank to insist that you use their lawyer as it does not look out for your rights. I think you can report that to the bar council if it happens. Then your lawyer will contact the bank's lawyer and they will handle the things between them. You pay your lawyer, bank pays their own lawyer unless your offer letter says otherwise. Then you might have to pay both lawyers. Lagi worse. Again, check har before you sign anything. Is yours a new or second-hand property?Get the previous S&P if you can. Get any land or strata titles too if you can. Get all the bills - water, letrik, bandaraya, see-hang charges too (Indah Water lah). Get all receipts of downpayment, bank offer letter, etc, etc ready. If you want to take EPF money better start checking procedure too. Conclusion: First find out if you can appoint your own lawyer before you ask me to spend time and money calling my lawyer. I mean, lets be fair lah, I oso very busy. Once confirm OK, PM me your full name and phone number and I will arrange for my lawyer to call you right back. You will have to go to both lawyers to sign some documents, but other than that everything else can be handled by despatch (you'll be charged in some instances) Added on March 26, 2007, 7:42 pmActually ah... 3K is an OK price if you have to bear the lawyer cost for the bank as well. Best is to go for the package with no lawyer fee, but have to pay a bit higher interest. If your package hv to pay lawyer, then you appoint another lawyer.. end up paying two sets of lawyers very mahal one. |

QUOTE(abubin @ Apr 3 2007, 03:34 PM) A lot of people though that buying a house is just it. There are always a lot of other fees that you need to cater. Not like got 10k then use all for down payment. A lot of those hidden fees like lawyer fees, stamping duties, MRTA and so on does need to be catered. Then, once you get the house, you have to set some money for renovation, furniture and fittings. Really a lot of $$$ involves. So, better plan you budget nicely. budget all plan nicely liau, only thing there is alot of thing that really need to have experience again, thanks alot for the explanation |

really damn dulan today..i'm suppose to go sign agreement with the banker for the home loan, then suddenly the interest rate was different from what i have been told before, then reading through the agreement i found that they have bundle with a insurance call GMTA not mRTA i was like WTF???then i screw the banker in front of everybody, well i doesn't want to but my appointment is at 12pm, she was late for 1 hour never even have the courtesy to call me and tell me that she is late and i haven't got my breakfast yet she let me wait so long, and wasted all my time for my work.
some more when she come with the agreement it's full of bullsh!t, ever heard of a bank that don't allow you to pay more not even rm1 for your loan..number 1 WTF!!! then i truely piss off...some more read through the agreement saw something other then MRTA which was not mention before, fine then i ask her, WTF is this money for she say is for insurance but if you don't want also can, then i lagi dulan, i shout at her don't you suppose to give me an option whether i want to bundle this shit or not before you come out this agreement? then she keep quiet, after that she say if you don't want we can remove that but you won't enjoy the zero interest for the 1st year, and you will be charge 0.01% then i told her, to screw with the whatsoever GMTA that you are offering, that 0.01% is nothing to me, but why the F*** i can't pay more for the installment if i got the extra money.. the service is so so so bad...never get loan from C**B bank..the banker SUX, but this is an experience that i get with C**B i'll not go to them again. SO PPL STAY REALLY FAR AWAY FROM C**B if you are given a choice. Now i have to look for other bank liau so please read what so every paper that you gonna sign...play safe, don't lazy.. |
