Hi Everyone,

As per title, I have a little regret after purchasing a subsale unit of RM350k , 988sqft, 3R2B low dense condo/flat.

Initially was planned for own stay and low monthly commitments but now I found out it's a bit far from the city, 20km+/-

More infos on my purchase :

-Signed SPA on August 2021
-Loan 35 years
-allocated 60k budget to renovate whole unit ( havent done )

highly appreciate if I could hear your opinion/advice on how I should handling the situation. Should I keep or let go at some loss?

How much loss are you prepared to take ?

may i know what is the expected loss resulting in this situation?

Since you have no intention to stay there, then you put it up for sale. The loss will be depending on how much discount you want to give and how urgent.

Is no point to spend 60k on reno and shift out later.

Btw, give yourself sometime to consider. 20km may initially looks frightening but is a matter of getting use to it.

I doubt there is favorable clause in the SPA which allows you to opt out now on your own accord. You can recheck your SPA to be sure.

As this is a subsale, you can negotiate with the seller for an amount to walk away from the deal. the SPA is between you and the seller only, hence it's up to you guys to find an out of it.

Option to rent it out with minimal renovation (but from your feedback or 900/month vs 350K purchase price, it's a negative return).

If the buyer decide to opt out of the SnP, the max forfeiture sum is the 10%. I doubt seller will go for any lesser amount.

If is freehold, I would reckon the process will be completing soon. MOT would have been paid including stamp duty for loan.

If is leasehold, then it is possible if is still under consent stage.

Yes, there is nothing else can do other than adapt and overcome.

Do you mean within 3 years can sell because of terms & conditions?

Let's say i were to sell at 300k, may i know what's the steps and the 'differential' ?

You can sell the unit anytime.

You have to check your loan agreement if there is a lockdown period. If is stated 1, 2 or 3 years, meaning if your sell within the stated time, then there is a loan penalty for early termination.

If you sell for 300k and your outstanding loan is more than 300k, eg 310k, then you have to settle the 10k before the bank allow you to proceed. If is more, then you will receive the balance money after the completion of sale.

For your rough calculation guide ....

In your monthly loan repayment, 40% will goes towards reducing the principal sum and 60% for interest.

So if you sell in 2 years ....

1230 x 40% = 492 x 24 months = 11,808

315,000 - 11,808 = 303,192.

If you sell 300k, then you have to settle 3,192 and the balance from buyer .

You cancel the mrta and ci and received some small refund.

I see, thanks for the calculation, it really made me easier to understand. May I know what is this mean : and the balance from the buyer

You pay 3192 and buyer 300k.

I have not included the penalty amount for early loan settlement, if any.
