Thanks Vincent for clarifying on the "bumi Lot" thingy. I agree with u on the agents here, esp those fm top something.

Haha Vince, u guessed right, especially the kitchen! She loves cooking n I love her food. Yup

Yes LGLab, what Bro Checkers said is true. Have u seen the place and the surrounding areas yet? Tell u what, I can bring u in to look see look see the various places mentioned by the good bros n sis here. I understand it is not easy for u considering that u don't drive. I just hope that u r...

Hi Greddy, I also don't know how. What i did was to just ask and based on trust, i hope what he is telling me is true - not a very intelligent answer i know. Your lawyers should know about this when they proceed to do a land search and have them incorporate a clause in the S&P to null and void...

Hoo Hoo, just received news fm the lawyers last evening that the owner had signed on the dotted line of the S&P (breathe breathe)! This is one of the anxieties one is subjected to when one buy fm sub-sale and not fm the developer (breathe again, swipe forehead, heave a sigh of relief). Now to...

I have decided to print in full the PM I send to Pslim for the benefit of others in the same situation. To all the kind bros and sis, pse feel free to add or correct what u think is not right : ) Hi Pslim, First of all, are u a foreigner? Foreigners are only allowed to buy houses that...

Haha, Wuqi, u r so funny. But I guess u cannot afford to take any chances as people can sometimes turn around to bite and accuse u of giving them bad advice! For me, I will always value all the advice or suggestions u so unselfishly share and without malice. Thks bro for another hot tip on...

Thanks Spidey. Haha, this is interesting, so have I been taken for a ride? It would be good to clarify this. Can those who bought their property thru sub-sale share with us so that we all can learn from this - do buyers need to pay the agent's fee and if so, how much? ..........or is this only...

U r right Avelc, it doesnt make sense to pay so much for a 99 yr leasehold (private and public included) Beside, there seemed to be no such thing as freehold in SG anymore, rules can be changed to take your property away from u for the common good. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure...

No worries, LGLab, I can sense from ur tone that u r quite determine and set on getting a property from HH - u will surely succeed! Just dont give up ur dream or let anyone discourage u; there r a lot of naysayers out there. U can refer to our thread starter's sharing in the earlier pages in...

Hi LGLab, those are just general guidelines that i got fm my seach. For my place, I paid 1%, seller paid 2%. Actually tis is very subjective. Basically, u need to talk tis out with the agent before u commit to the deal. Some buyers may claimed to have paid nothing as the agent's fee is...

Hi LGLab, send u a PM on Sat, did u receive it?

Hi LGLab, sorry I cant help u there :) Perhaps some learned bros can help to answer this. I didnt think so far when I bought my property. There will certainly be spikes and flunctuations over the short term. To me, buying a house is more of a long term thingy. Real estate can give one great...

Good choice! Cant go wrong with HH - it's a good area. You may be able to find some at Gateway.

Hi LGLab, Appended below are some write-up on the various properties shared by Wuqi and some of the forummers here. Pse note that things may have change, but I guess most still hold true. The pricing u see are like before the min RM500K that foreigners can buy. Pse know that these are just...

Hi Bluereeff, I dont think they are slow. If u r a foreigner, most likely it's cos of the state consent application. I was told by my lawyers that with the year end holidays and new year, chinese new year and all, some staff would be on leave - it will take about a month or two. Its only...

Thanks for the very useful link, Wuqi

Spidey, your developer didnt absorb the state levy lah. The levy (actual name is State Authority Consent) is only for foreigners. For those paying, the consent cost Rm10K, to apply Rm500, and legal fee Rm300 - in total about Rm10,800.

I bought my house from subsale. There were many agents whom I wrote in to, to enquire about the property they had for sale. Out of the 8, or so agents I wrote and even sms'ed to, only 2 took the trouble to reply............ Maybe I should list down those 6 agents who didnt even bothered to...

Haha Wuqi, very useful tip. Thanks
