Buying in Malaysia

Nick Johnson · #1 (**permalink**) 5th October 2007, 11:50 AM

I am seeking information on the ins and outs of acquiring property in Malaysia, likely to be K L. I am an Australian working within the petroleum industry and will likely be working off Malay waters for the coming 2 years at least. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Nick.

Welcome to the forum, Nick. I moved your question to the Malaysia forum, because I think you will get a better response.

I think there is a legal restriction that you have to pay at leasr RM 250,000 for your property, but there may be ways around that.

Nick what are you looking to buy? Malaysia real estate laws have been changing over the past years, and is becoming more open to foreign buyers.

So? Why is that an issue?

Well, the chances that Nick is still looking for an answer are probably pretty slim, especially since this was his one and only post.

Hi there. I think we might have been in contact before on the Total property forum.
I have bought a unit in the Banyan Curves. Wanted to ask you, as far as you know, does everyone have a problem with the acccounts department of the seller? I have emailed them about 8 times over the past 3 months, asking for a Statement of Account, or anything that shows how many more payment I have left and the amount and the due dates. I finally got one form emailed to me which I can't make heads or tails of. Even my accountant can't figure it out.

I heard from another property owner in BC that he has the same problem, and he gets late payment notices often, although he's been pushing them to give him some info on his payments.

Mick why dont you get your lawyer or agent to look into it on your behalf that is what they are paid to do.

Alternatively you can call the project director. Mr Yap.
