WHAT'S IN YOUR SPA ?!

[@morepewpewlessqq4720]

Yes 2% shortage is also available for serviced apartments as well. And they also very smart when phrasing of VP, at the end of it, they will mention,"with electricity and water (either one of those) is ready for connection." Time and again I have seen a lot of people wanted to complain and make a big hu-ha about it without reading the fine lines .In my case, where the developer offers you move-in bonus (whatever term they like to call), when you are signing the piece of paper for acknowledgement, there is this fine line which reads,"you shall not claim any damage(s)against developer arising from SPA"..something along that line..Most of the time, when receiving VP, owners are just too happy to know and read their SPA, as a result, they do not know their rights. What I notice is when you fill in the defect form, and you quote the clauses from SPA, the follow-up is very quick, because you know your shit, else they will just drag it.And usually before handing in the defect forms, I will take a snapshot and emailed them to lawyer as well, to let them know. In the case of serviced apartment, and since they are under the jurisdiction of HBA, you can actually go to their website and download this form to ask the lawyer to withhold the last payment until all defects are done accordingly. Its always good to get email from the lawyer and banker especially for this purpose. People don't seems to understand "Knowing is half the battle won."

[@iherng]

Awesome sharing! I love the trick where you attach the clause from SPA with the defect form. That's super useful to young home owners. Also I like that you'll leverage on your lawyer's professionalism. Most of us just pay 'lawyer fees' without fully leveraging on them. Again, thank you for your sharing. I really appreciate it as it will benefit other young audiences as well.

[@mohdfadzilmdarap8921]

11.43 : the best advice ever!

[@JeffErin]

Sean, regarding the Materials (4th Schedule). Shouldn't the developer be more specific on the material colors/brand? What can the customer do if the developer did not state the specifics? Because what if developer promised the exact semi-furnish kitchen cabinet as show unit. But in SPA contract didnt state the colors, brand & etc. Then we VP, the end product is totally not like the show unit.

[@iherng]

From the perspective of the developer, they couldn't promise the brand and colour for most of the things because the duration of construction takes around 3-4 years. At that time, those models of product for eg fridge, TV, colour of cabinet may be obsolete already especially for electronics. However, customers should focus on the dimension and specs first, next only the colour and brands.

[@puifong82]

Thank you for your information, it really helps me alot to be a smart home buyer!

[@iherng]

Hi Cheryl. Thanks for watching!! That's my main drive to do all these videos actually=)

[@kindkong]

I'm a first-time house buyer, I'm squeezing in the final leg of HOC, binge-watching your channel now haha..whats your thought on Old Klang road service apartment? Pretty strategic for rent no?

[@iherng]

Hi there. Thanks for binge-watching. hahaha. Anyway, for OKR projects, it's really down to micro location variables. As there are just so many different highrise projects along this one road *easily 20K units, it proves that the location is great. But you will need to compete for tenants. My suggestions is to go data approach: 1. Determine what's your risk appetite? 2. Let's say you're looking at Millerz, go research on 10 closest exisiting condo on their ROI as they already have tenants. Find out their rental and occupancy rate. HOC is a great incentive for buyers but I would suggest to really understand your investment appetite first. Also means how much can you afford for monthly installments every month? Hope these help=)

[@rosalindlee8806]

Hi Sean. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. Is the SPA clause for developer to repair defects within 30 days a standard clause for all SPA including Strata mixed development service apartment ? Thanks

[@aticnuratica8292]

Thanks a lot for making this video, Sean. This is extremely helpful.

[@musico3415]

After signing the spa to sell and collecting the full sales price in cash, when will the ownership transfer to the buyer takes place?

[@xodapht]

Hi Sean, as mentioned in your video those rebates and freebies will not be included in the SPA, so just wondering how do purchasers get assurance that these will be received after VP? Thanks in advance.

[@iherng]

Well it depends on what type of freebies. There will usually be a separate piece of paper to confirm those freebies. But anything attached to the unit can be included in the inventory list such as number of air-conds, TV, and etc.

[@xodapht]

@@iherng what about the rebates??

[@leongsgp2]

Thanks Sean, once again another great content. I have a question, for new units, the chances of of renovating is pretty high, how does that affect the Defect Liability?

[@iherng]

So it depends on the degree of renovation. In other words how extensive is the renovation works? The deal breaker is usually when there's hacking work involved as that affects water proofing, pipings and electrical wirings. It was a trend back then when owners of individual title terrace houses will only renovate after the DLP:)

[@leongsgp2]

@@iherng Thanks Sean, based on your experience. Is it better to do a full reno or partial while waiting for the DLP to lapse? Coz its kinda drag if have to do reno after moving in. Was thinking of one shot do all and dont need to think of it :p

[@ylwong931]

Awesome content. I have a question, usually loan approved only sign snp ? Why my developer want me to sign snp before loan not yet approve?

[@iherng]

That's to mitigate the risk of what if you cannot qualify for loan after you buy? How are you then gonna finance the property? But developer is okay for you to sign first because it's closer to a confirmed sale for them.

[@ngcmn]

Actually for the vp part for utility " it is ready for connection", must the supply be ready only considered vp or without meter also can vp?

Hi. If i but a house with partial furnished, is it must included in s&p as well ?

[@iherng]

It’s written in a separate piece of paper within the appendix area.

[@mubarakamanullah7398]

it shows that property market is highly regulated by respective authorities .which is a good thing.

[@iherng]

Yupe. You're absolutely right Mubarak!!

[@ludicheah]

Hi Sean, really like your content keep it up. Wanted to ask for the colour code, it only standardizes the colour of the building exterior right? Interior of my unit will not be affected?

[@jt7528]

hi Sean, for LAD part 8:00, would you mind to explain what is meant by "10 % per annum per day, of 20% of the purchase price" ?

[@iherng]

If the price is RM 1 mil, then the 20% is RM 200k. 10% would be RM 20k, Interest per day means 20k/365 = RM55 . Means if 30 days late = RM 1650

[@jyhyeongchan660]

Thanks Sean. I am about to sign the SPA to buy a strata title landed property from developer. Wondering there is parcel size in the agreement and floor plan but no built up size. Is this standard? there is nothing than just verbal told me the built up size from agent because I buy an end lot. Wondering how those property website able to advertise the built up size if there is no built up size in SPA. I feel uncomfortable. Any advice is appreciated.

[@iherng]

It means the same thing, just the terms in individual title versus strata title is different. Main parcel = almost equal to lot size. Accessory parcel which is applicable to apartments to indicate their carpark is not applicable here. But do check your share unit. It will reflect your ownership right during management meetings. As most agents are not technically trained in terms like this, they tried their best to express hahaa.. Thanks for asking:)

[@aaron_anil]

Hi Sean, just came across your channel, very informative btw, thank you. Just to inquire, with regards to SOHO and the like, they are commercial title as well right? so the Percentage of completion deductions would be following commercial concept of residential?

[@iherng]

Hi Aaron, great question. For SOHO, it means Small office home office. Because it can be used as a home as well, that's why it falls under the HDA as well. This means the schedule should follow Schedule H as well=)

When i purchased my first property, i asked if they can send me a draft s&p agreement first so that i can see what i sign, they say cannot. Lol. They say i can only read through on the day of signing. Eventually i had my way, they sent me a draft. But i feel like some developers are quite bully towards home buyers.
