QUOTE(shaoching @ Nov 6 2020, 03:51 PM) the only answer that I always get from the lawyer was : Reply from bank, lhdn and developer is not within our control. Lawyers are cautious when dealing with those three lest he is blacklisted. He still needs to carry on business after your case being 'settled', so offending others is last. If you need something quick, you have to do the work. Otherwise, the lawyers will do a courtesy follow up ...nothing to the extend of how you will talk when you are 'angry'.

QUOTE(shaoching @ Nov 6 2020, 06:17 PM) hi,may I know what kind of work I need to do from myside beside folo up frequently with my lawyer>? Bank .. follow up with the loan officer. Put some pressure saying you are unhappy with the delay. Tell him about referral from you for future cases. Lhdn ... nothing much you are dealing other than stamp duties. That should not be a problem since the govt wants money Developer ... Pressure your seller to call them. You can also do the same. As buyer, you must be 'excited' to complete everything soonest. If no one follow up or make noise, nobody cares. You cant expect your lawyer to slam the phone on the bank, lhdn or developer ! Edit ... Dont quote your lawyer when dealing with them. Just ask why the delay. This post has been edited by mini orchard: Nov 6 2020, 06:44 PM

QUOTE(iOrange @ Nov 7 2020, 06:00 PM) i signed a snp about 1 year ago so far from what i see there are still doing the underground work.. just curious is this the normal pace of a construction phase There are many reasons why they are still stuck there and we as buyers are in no privilege to know as long the project is not due for vp. If they are still working on the site, it should be consider WIP. Nevertheless, is good to monitor the progress. I will guess you only paid the 10% and there is no further money disbursement yet for progress work. This post has been edited by mini orchard: Nov 7 2020, 07:54 PM

QUOTE(Felix-da-happy @ Dec 17 2020, 02:19 AM) Thanks for opening this topic! I look at properties on iProperty and they provide estimated capital growth and rental yield. I noticed some have negative capital growth. How important is capital growth if I planning for own stay? Thank you  Capital growth indication will tell you something about the location....upkeep, people profile, safety, amenities etc.

QUOTE(Felix-da-happy @ Dec 17 2020, 11:15 AM) I see. When I visited it looks quite ok or maybe I not yet see all the problems that caused price to drop. Could be because is old condo but no strata title yet. I think the other residents and the way is maintained is good but if price continues to drop, don't know if they will keep it up  If is old condo without strata title ...avoid it. Easy to buy now but difficult to sell later as many banks would avoid granting financing.

QUOTE(KingArthurVI @ Dec 23 2020, 05:12 PM) My loan approved for a subsale purchase, signed SPA and Loan Agreement already. How long before I can get the keys to the place? My law firm told me need 3 months from after SPA stamping? I thought that's pretty long, considering everything already signed... A SnP agreement is only a legal document of INTENTION to buy sell. Is NOT ownership per say. A SnP can also be aborted b4 the payment of the full purchase price. Buyer is ONLY a registered proprietor under the National Land Code when the buyer's name is registered with the land registry office. Time is needed to complete the registration process as provided in the terms of SnP. Buyer CANNOT claim ownership/possession with just a payment of 10% and loan approval.

QUOTE(MrB9 @ Mar 30 2021, 02:27 PM) Hi all, I would like to seek some advice regarding public tender houses with registered caveat. Am I eligible to apply loan upon successful bidding? You must find out the reason for the caveat. If it cant be removed, then dont tender. Banks dont approve loan if the title is not 'clean'. Even if is approved by mistake, normally the banks want the caveat to be removed b4 loan is disbursed. Or are you referring to a charged by the bank ? Is different.

QUOTE(MrB9 @ Mar 31 2021, 09:05 AM) Ok thank you for the info. Currently the house has been foreclosure sale auctioned by bank, but I can see from the POS there is a registra caveat lodged. If that is the case high chances that I could not apply loan and make full payment hence my bank draft 10% deposit will be forfeited by bank. A Registrar Caveat is lodged by the govt (lhdn) for money owed. Dont touch the property if you are not sure how you can go about dealing with the caveat.

QUOTE(respectmypm @ Apr 1 2021, 09:02 PM) hi. i don't have any house, but i am planning to get one. however I'm a bit scared to get into commitment due to nature of work. I'm not a salary man, I'm a commission man. right now, on average my commission is around 13k per month. already 1 year like this however i do not know how long this will sustain. do i need to wait 1or 2 more years saving more money before i get a house? with current commission, i can buy a terrace house or semi d already but i don't want to be overconfident. please advise. thanks. Even if one is a salaried man, he cant be assured of a job for the next 30 years. Buy within your ability to pay and if the worst do happen, just mitigate the loss. Even with renting, one can lose the monthly income and unable to pay rent.

QUOTE(Dhang @ Apr 28 2021, 09:56 PM) Hi, I'm thinking of whether to buy directly from a developer or to engage a REN from IQI (probably the only known agency available at my place). 1. What are the pros and cons? 2. How much commission do I need to pay the agent and when? Buyer normally only engage an agent to source for a specific property in the secondary market and normal agency commission payable upon signing of SnP.. If you oredi know the seller aka developer, am not sure of the reasons not buying direct from the seller other than wanting to pay money to an agent for buying something you oredi know the seller. If the developer is oredi represented by authorised agents, normally they will not deal with buyers.

QUOTE(tjuin @ May 2 2021, 10:34 AM) I'm planning to buy my first property but I can't decide whether I should buy it for investment or own stay. Let's say I buy my first property for investment and use to collect rent, 3 years down I decide to buy another one for my own stay, how would that affect my loan chances? With the current property scenario, if you buy to rent, many tenants would be happy as there would be more choices and are you going to be a nice or tough landlord ?

QUOTE(KamisF @ May 18 2021, 12:52 AM) Hi, total noob in property here, when buying a condominium, does leasehold vs freehold make a difference? and after paying booking for a unit, until what time frame we can still change a unit (say to a different floor), e.g: before signing SNP / before stamping. There are many topics here on freehold v leasehold. Just use the search function. If SnP is not sign, buyer can change unit subject to developer's approval. Otherwise buyer burnt the deposit and pay new booking fee. After signed SnP but b4 signing Loan Agreement, change NOT allowed. If buyer decided not to cont the purchase, burnt deposit and pay legal expenses for work done.

QUOTE(cwt2878 @ May 18 2021, 09:13 AM) Am interested in buying a new condo being built as part of redevelopment of an existing building. Any idea how the schedule payment will be like ofr this type of development? As building already there, does it mean will probably need ~50% of payment and loan to be serviced once SPA signed? Is the same as buying new. The extra is only the demolition of the old structure.

QUOTE(cwt2878 @ May 18 2021, 10:10 AM) Sorry, should be more specific, the old building is not demolished, i think they will only redo the facade, internal electrical n plumbing plus some wall adjustment. 1. How much is the compensation paid to the existing owner? 2. How much is the selling price ? 3. What is the floor area ? 4. Any covered car park ? How many lot allocated ? 5. Facilities ?

QUOTE(smartinvestor01 @ May 24 2021, 08:40 PM) Anyone of you ever heard news saying that there is some chances that Bank Negara Malaysia will review the current Margin of Finance (MoF) for mortgage? I heard from 2 property sifus mentioning about that. Could be due to the high household debt that link to this decision. Just want to ask if any of you come across this statement? Anyway, its not confirmed but I just ask since I heard of it. Irrespective of the news ... Always borrow less with maximum tenure to avoid unncessary monthly stress.

QUOTE(1234_4321 @ Jun 14 2021, 10:17 PM) Hello all, Would like to hear from your advise, the S&P signed and should be executed within 90 days, but the implementation of FMCO making the transfer not possible. In case if the FMCO keep extending, am I legally have to pay the interest once it past 90 days? or there is some clause for buyer to exclude from this.. After 1 year into the pandemic with mco, cmco and rmco, your lawyer should have inserted a clause to safeguard you. You should check with your lawyer if such a clause exist. If is pre covid, if the purchaser delay in completing the transaction and not because of the vendor's fault, then interest is payable.

QUOTE(snailly @ Jun 30 2021, 12:09 PM) Hi sifus, i need some advice on home loan refinancing. Here's the situation: 1) Plan to refinance a fully paid property (market rate around 850K). I can only get 70% max (595K). 2) With 595K, i would like to get a bigger unit in the same condo i m staying (priced @ 680K), max 70% loan (DP need 204K). 3) Balance of (595K-204K) 391K, should I: (A) dump 391K into my other home loans (I got existing 4 home loans) or (B) put 120K EPF self contribution & balance 271K into other home loans? 4) I have several home loans so should I put some amount to all home loans to reduce interest or settle 1 of the home loans and then put the balance into the rest of the home loans? Thanks in advance for your advice! Dump the 595 into 2.

QUOTE(snailly @ Jun 30 2021, 10:05 PM) Actually, if i refinance 70% (house 1) then with the cash payout I settle one of my home loan (house 2), can i borrow my 3rd property (house 3) with 10% DP? 90% or DSR whichever is lower. I think the lifting of 70% for 3rd house expires in May 21. Not sure it is extended. Pls check with your banker.
