but still need a lawyer right?else pay deposit to who,tak takut lari or say no collected

There cases where buyers wants to abort the deal B4 reaching the lawyer's office for reason only known to the buyer.

If owner seller don't collect deposits, he may missed out on another potential buyer waiting in line without any compensation for time wasted dealing with the buyer.

Wow.. say like owner are very good.

I tell u purchaser out there, it is confirm safe to use a legal REN property agent to safe guard your own deposit, be it rent or sale

U never heard of eerie story owner take multiple deposit from purchaser and disappear with all your deposit..  because u got no stakeholder (real estate agency) to protect u in case anything happen, deposit is safe.

Deal with owner, owner ask u place deposit 3% for his house direct transfer to his name, if he do 5 times to diff fella, and disappear because he need cash, u jao lok gao ad.
Usually such case is they sell super cheap one, and tell u pay deposit to their own name

Buyers normally don't pay commission unless he engage one to lookout for a property.

Property agents are normally engaged by the seller and therefore he pays the commission.

Advertise with ur own phone number, paperwork get a lawyer to do (both owner & buyer must agree on the same lawyer)

Separate lawyer also can..

But for selling and buying house is the same purpose what.. Can use same lawyer to reduce cost
