Peguam wajar bantu pembeli
rumah 25/01/1999 BH
PELBAGAI masalah boleh berlaku dalam proses urusan jual beli rumah. Kerumitan
yang bakal dihadapi oleh sukar dijangka dan kebiasaannya boleh menyebabkan
pertelingkahan sehingga perlu dibawa ke mahkamah. Ini kerana segala urusan
jual-beli adalah tertakluk kepada pelbagai undang-undang. Antaranya adalah
undang-undang yang sudah lama wujud dan undang-undang yang baru digubal mahupun
yang dipinda untuk menyesuaikannya dengan masa dan zaman. Kegagalan kita mengetahui
kesan-kesan peruntukan yang tertentu dalam undang-undang itulah yang menyebabkan
kesusahan, kerumitan dan kerugian. Persoalannya ialah sejauhmana selaku pembeli
kita membaca dengan teliti dan faham dengan sempurna setiap perjanjian yang
ditandatangani. Bagi orang biasa perjanjian yang disediakan dilihat sebagai
agak kompleks dan berputar belit bahasanya. Walaupun boleh dikatakan menjadi
satu kebiasaan untuk perjanjian disediakan dengan menggunakan perkataan agak
susah difahami, apalagi ada ketikanya disediakan dalam bahasa Inggeris, ini
tidak bermaksud pembeli atau penjual harus lepas tangan dan menerima saja
apa yang diberikan.
