For new property buyers, do remember to check a few things:
1. Your manhole prior to start of renovation
2. Tiny hairline cracks on the walls and on the tiles including bathroom ones or large marks on the parquet (if they provide)
3. Its also good to visit a place (if buying resale) to go there on rainy days and look at the ceiling above for telltale signs of leakage.
I have pretty good tenants (so far, touch wood), some have leaks in the kitchen and informed us so we paid (after the 2 year defect period already) a sum to fix it.
They have to tear open a hole to check thoroughly, the price for a small check is about 150RM. Do try to get the original contractor from the developer side where possible, cheaper plus they know what to expect.
