Demand for landed properties remained robust, while that for bungalows moderated. Best-selling types of properties 52% (double-storey terrace), 37% (single storey house), 7%(condominiums). About 31% respondents built more homes in Q3, the highest proportion tabulated in nine quarters.

MK Land to launch RM7bil worth of property projects MK plan to launch RM7billion worth of property projects in the next five years, with high-end housing-themed development, The Rafflesia, in Damansara Perdana as its flagship project. Most of the projects can be found in Meru Perdana in Ipoh as well as Damansara Perdana and Damansara Damai in Selangor. With RM1.4 billion price tag, The Rafflesia comprises Rafflesia@Park, Rafflesia@Peak and Rafflessia@Hill and is Damansara Perdana first gated and guarded residential development. Rafflesia@Hill will be launched in stages this month, while Rafflesia@Peak will start sales in 2014. 18 LBS Bina Group launched Emerald Garden in Batu Pahat, Johor. This development is in line with LBS’s target to provide 2,300 units of affordable homes in 2013. A total of 166 units single storey terrace located in Bandar Putera Indah with gross built-up of 1,519 sf. Priced from RM216,750 with 4-bedroom and 2-bathroom is a valuefor-money option for first-time homebuyers and young families. RPGT hike could affect property stocks Increase in the real property gains tax (RPGT) will only affect non-genuine buyers and speculators, but neutral to property developers. It would not be a deterrent to owner-occupiers and long term investors. The RPGT hike might help curb excessive speculation in the longer term. Another analyst remains bullish on the property sector in light of the potential increase of the RPGT. However, his view will take a negative stance if government releases more tightening lending guidelines. Copyright of Twins Assets Sdn. Bhd. Notably, the government in June imposed a maximum of 10 years personal loans repayment, maximum tenure of 35 years for property loans, down from 45 years previously. KL a prime new-build market for China investors According to the report compiled by Knight Frank, KL has been listed as one of the favorite prime new-build markets for property and real-estate investors from China. Chinese are the most influential buyers in the world’s prime new-build sector. 19 PR1MA gives green light for 15 housing projects No asset bubble in Malaysia: Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz PR1MA has approved 15 affordable housing projects, which could yield another 18,270 homes in Johor, Selangor, Perak, Sabah and Pahang. Some of the projects are located in integrated developments which incorporate retail space and public transport facilities. 6 of the 15 projects in Jelatek, Putra Heights, Pandan Indah, Cempaka, Pandan Jaya and Glenmarie will developed with Syarikat Prsarana Negara Berhad (Prasarana). 15 projects unveiled by PR1MA under Phase 1 in August. The number of affordable homes to be developed by PR1MA will stands at 38,757 to date with the Phase 2 projects. Three series of macro prudential measures had been rolled out this year to avoid formation of bubble asset. She noted that the country’s economic growth is driven by domestic demand, as Malaysia is not at the epicenter of the recent global financial crisis. She explained that the financial intermediaries remain resilient and the supply of credit was never disrupted, noting that financial intermediation continues as financial markets continues to function. Copyright of Twins Assets Sdn. Bhd. 20 Budget for property sector well received Property analysts and consultants believe that the removal of developers interest bearing scheme (DIBS) and the property gains tax (RPGT) are much needed and timely considering the speculation on property market. The impact of RPGT will impact on the secondary market and may slow down transactions. The increase in the RPGT might discourage some speculators but the strong holding power of buyers due to low interest rate environment will provide a buffer for speculators to hold the property longer before disposing it. Besides, the removal of DIBS is expected to hit many high-end developers. The new regime is effective on curbing speculation and help to raise government revenue. Meanwhile, the regime was “pleased” as the property measures were “lower than expected”. At least there is no reduction in the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio to 60% or rise in the stamp duties. The removal of DIBS was actually dint impact negatively on developers as developers can still circumvent the removal with rebates. Copyright of Twins Assets Sdn.

A purchase price that is affordable to your budget and relative to the property ii. Buy a home that you can sell at a profit iii. What are the requirements that you need for your dream home? List them down iv. Visit properties that are on sale for comparisons. Do not make a rash decision as it will be a longterm commitment v. Read through the classified advertisements in the papers for existing properties to make comparisons on specifications and market price Some points that you should note before making your choice: i. Sale and Purchase (S&P) Agreement a. Property under construction 26 The developer would usually appoint a lawyer to draw-up the S&P Agreement. Be prepared to pay legal fees on S&P, however some developer will absorb the legal fee providing the S&P lawyers are in their panel. b. Completed property You would need to engage a lawyer from the start until transaction is completed. The lawyer should be able to advise and act on your behalf when signing the S&P agreement and making payments. Some developer will provide lawyers without additional cost providing the lawyers are in their panel. And, try to engage a licensed inspector to help you evaluate the condition of the property, give you sound advise on the environmental condition of the area, check for wood-damaging insects and other relevant issues. Copyright of Twins Assets Sdn. Bhd. ii. Insurance There are many types of insurance for properties and the contents of the property. However, the most important insurance that you need to purchase is Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance (MRTA), which ensures your home will be paid for in full should anything happen to you. Therefore, your family is assured of a place to stay. End-financiers would usually have their panel of insurers. Thus, your annual premium can be included in your loan amount. iii. Stamp duty and Legal Fees on Loan Agreement Be prepared to pay stamp duty and legal fees on your loan agreement. However, some banks do absorb this cost, as an added value to the housing loan packages. Therefore, make sure you look for a loan deal that suits you best. 27 iv. Stamp Duty on Transfer Be prepared to pay stamp duty on transfer. The S&P lawyer will collect this fee for you on behalf of the Stamp Duty Office. Please ask your Sales Advisor on the exact amount before you make the purchase because the amount is quite substantial based on your purchase price. Fees and Charges There are also related costs such as professional fees and government charges that you would have to pay. Below are some of the common fees and charges you would expect to incur: v. Handing Over of Keys Some extra amount you have to add to your budget after buying that dream property: • The monthly service charge (if you’re buying an apartment/condo unit) • Deposit for utilities (electricity, water and telephone line) • Assessment (twice a year) • Quit rent (annually) Copyright of Twins Assets Sdn.
