what do you mean by wont comply with low cost consent rules?

Hi may I know what the meaning of “complete the period”? I’m pretty sure definitions of low cost properties is the entire period of it lease hold. So it can’t transfer to person who didnt fits the requirement set by state government.

as per AI
In Malaysia, transferring ownership of a low-cost house (RMMJ/Affordable housing) typically involves restrictions, including a holding period of 5-10 years and the need for state government approval for certain transfers, along with stamp duty exemptions for first-time homebuyers.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Restrictions on Ownership Transfer:
Holding Period:
Low-cost properties often have a restriction on transfer within a certain period, usually 5 to 10 years, depending on the state and specific circumstances.
State Government Approval:
Transfers of ownership may require approval from the relevant state government or housing authority.
Eligibility Criteria:
The new owner may also need to meet the same eligibility criteria (e.g., low-income earner) as the original buyer.
Purpose of Housing:
Transferring ownership to someone who no longer qualifies as a low-income earner or someone who already owns multiple properties might conflict with the initial purpose of such housing.

my understanding was just a time-lock over there as requirement.. i didnt know after time-lock will still need to follow ownership criteria or not

I afraid this is not time lock ... the 5 years restriction only for Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT), so selling after five years don't need to pay this tax, but other restriction still remain, Thanks for your input happy.gif

nope, i'm not talking about RPGT.. i dont care much about RPGT as you're transferring between family and you said your brother is wealthy..
u cannot transact a low cost property within 10years to protect the interest of scalpers
