Hi sis,
Where I left off, I decided to engage the will writers to do up one. Having one in malaysia will make me more comfortable due to the conflicting views. I haven't really decided who to go with but the costs should be about the same ba ... I will probably end up with rockwills

I also bought a property from subsale and was told by housing agent these are the things i need to pay:
-Legal Fees on SPA = RM5,525
- Stamp Duty on SPA = RM15,750
- Disbursement on SPA = around RM1,000
- Legal Fees on Loan = RM3,978
- Stamp Duty on Loan = RM2,835
- Disbursement on Loan Agreement = Around RM1,000
- Agent Commission = RM7,250
- Levy Fee / State Consent Fee = RM10,000
Total cost is RM47,338.
Quite a scary amount to me, many fees don't apply in sg. Can someone advise if this is the norm? thanks!!

i thought seller pays commission only ? buyers have to pay ?
All this is great advice and if you've a child who is a lawyer or banker, even better.
Yeah quite standard, you need to fork out more for subsale purchase...for the agent fees, try to negotiate as some of the agent willing to give a discount (no guarantee though)...it becomes a norm for agent in johor to charge 1% to buyer and 2% to seller...in kl, all 3% will be paid by seller so different state different practise...
Agree with bro DOA, do more homework before deciding since property is not cheap and plenty of choices around...happy investing

Unfortunately, tis is e practice to collect from both parties. Learned it while I was searching 4 resales. Note the word - practice ...
We just purchased a land in LH and after paying the 1%, the agent mentioned about us having to pay him 1% interest. We told him that this was not mentioned from the start and why only after we paid 1%. He told us that it is not a common practice for buyer to pay but because the seller is also an agent and it will be consider as a co-broke deal. We disagree and in the end, we dont have to pay him anything.
Found this reply online;
"The Board of Valuers,Appraisers & Estate Agents Malaysia has given guidelines on professional ethics and maximum fees chargeable by estate agnets. Estate agents can either be engaged by the Owner/Landlord or the Buyer/Tenant but estate agents cannot collect agency fees from both Owner/Landlord and Buyer/Tenant.If you are responding to the Estate Agent's property listing that is advertised then that Estate Agent is likely to have been engaged by the Owner/Landlord and a fee has been agreed to be paid by Owner/Landlord. Sometimes we have Buyer/Tenants who needed our services to find them a unique property at good prices or terms, then they will agree to pay us a fee upon success basis before we embark on the search and information gathering. Hope this will clear the air about our estate agency profession to clients like you.

When I bought resale I certainly did not pay agents commission even though it was co-broke.
He even told me as a buyer no need to pay commission.
However, I gave a small "Ang Pow" to my agent for his great service & honesty.
