    Thanks Sis.. will watch out and be extra alert... :eek: edit: i was looking thru the posts, and noticed this, quoted "In the end, owner accept 1% and the other 1% is kept by the agent.

    yes.. spoke to the agent.. it is based on the BLR then discounted with the fixed rate throughout the loan tenure period. eg. the discount is 2%, then BLR-2%. thanks for the guide bro. else i'd really look blur throughout ;)

    some developers have stopped absorbing those costs.. imo, these bring the costs nearer. besides, resale units that are renovated will save you the costs further, if there are minimal touch-up required. i just found one.. hopefully all goes well..

    No yet, but going in again tomorrow to view a resale and developer unit. Will ask during then. Just I was curious why the differences of 3% by forummers and 6% on property websites.

    Agreed. Never hog the right lane thinking you are fast. There are faster ones around. Once I was doing nearly 200 yet a huge Lexus came out of nowhere and overtook from my left, and with ease. Since then I became a good boy. Always a mountain higher than yours. Stay left unless overtaking.

    i saw from earlier posts that bank interest rates are like 2-3% are those only applicable to new developments, or for resale? almost all the property websites are using 6% for loan calculator.

    i would also agree with this approach. important is to secure the loan, go for it if the difference is little (i think u can also ask the banker to calculate the absolute difference of interest in ringgits). i believe u can do refinancing later on. in addition, yes, when u have some spare...

    thanks guys for your advises.. i'll see how it goes. perhaps do some research first, since a consideration to resale is opening up to more options. and bro Diaspora.. that's a good one LOL!
