Does buying an auction apartment have higher risk?
The unit I'm looking at, has digital lock. So, if I were to buy this.
Wouldn't I need to change the digital lock, and request new access card from management? This add on to the uncertainty of the unit internal condition right?
Lets say the market price now rm450k. The reserved price for this unit is rm370k (2nd auction). Is it worth the hassle actually? It's a new project under 3 years.
How long the overall procedure will take until I move in?
This statement applicable to all lelong units. Yes, need to change the locks and do new access card.
Even if you buy via subsale, to be safe also people will change the door and grill lock as well.
If already got a digital lock install at the door, the unit is most likely doing airbnb/homestay kinda stuff.
But dont put high hope on this. The possibility is there.

Bought my property via lelong 1year+ back. It was new property.
Cons -
- The rush to get the loan done.
Also, a lot of banks don't do auction loans.- No keys. Once confirmed by lawyer, have to break into the house with locksmith and police.
Pros
- 15% below market price
Would I do it again? Yes, I would.
It was not easy and quite a rush, but I do think it's worth it.
Nope. No such thing. All banks take in auction cases. Is just the same like buying subsale property.
You must have dealt with unreliable/lazy bankers who provide wrong info.
