How noisy depends on the type of airplane. pos malaysia 4am departure for certain would wake up light sleepers.

Double glazed window would solved the problem.

No doubt could reduce noise substantially. however, noise still could transmit through roof.

Noise coming through the roof is not as significant as through window as the sound wave need to pass through few layers before reaching the internal of the house.

Not to mention most newer project comes with metal decking roof and mineral wool insulation which improves sound insulation through the roof. Not sure about elmina though.

Here's an example...

1) Developer A build a house that has a price of RM1 million.
2) Developer A (mostly all developers in Malaysia) does offers 10% discounts for new house. Extra 7% if you're bumiputra.
3) From point #1, this brings the house net price to be calculated as below;

(House price)-(discounts)
RM1,000,000 - RM100,000
= RM900,000 <---- This will be the house's NET price.

4) However, in your SPA, developer always put the house's price before any discounts. In this case, it will be RM1,000,000 <---- This price usually called SPA price (because this is the price that you see in your SPA)
5) Banks usually offer financing loan maximum up 90% of SPA price. And NOT 90% of discounted price.
6) Therefore, if the bank offers you 90% loan amount, you will get;

90% x (SPA Price)
90% x RM1,000,000
= RM900,000 <---- This will be the loan that bank will give you.

So, you notice that the loan that you get from bank is the same as your house's net price. In a way, bank will release this money to developer and since RM900.000 already covers the house's net price, you don't owe developer any money. That is why most people who buys a new property from a developer will not have to worry about any down-payment.

And from banks' perspective, they worry that developer can give you ridiculous discounts but bank still have to finance 90% of the full price instead of discounted price. So this can be a business risk for them because some people may struggle to pay higher monthly installment than they need to. But this is my theory la. I dont know la whether banks ever worry about stuffs like this. lol

Actually, banks don't really mind the above scenario. Most of the time they will close one eye for cases as above since it is very common.

The one that they don't like is when the developer offering cashback, meaning you loan bigger amount, and the developer gives you cash after the VP the property. Banks will still approve your loan, but at 85% of SPA price instead of the normal 90%. This happened to me when I applied the loan for my house last year since the earlier packaged offered by developer included cashback. But for my purchase, they reduced the price instead of cashback, hence, I managed to appeal to get full 90% loan.
