Having a say in the way we pay 01/09/2004 MB-HPROP
FOR the past two decades, the subject of `build then sell', or rather a better system of purchasing homes from housing developers, has been debated and studied, but it has still remained a voluntary concept. Surely the time is ripe for the Government to seriously address the hazards, risks and uncertainties experienced by home purchasers in Malaysia. While it may be difficult for all developers to move straight into the `build-then-sell' system, the National House Buyers Association is proposing a variant to the `buying-off-the-plan' concept. With this variant (or the 10:90 concept), house buyers place a 10% down payment with the developer upon the signing of the sales and purchase agreement. This money serves as a confirmation of sales to enable the developer to obtain the necessary financing. It, however, must be placed in an escrow account and cannot be touched by the developer. The buyer only has to pay the remaining 90% of the purchase price to the developer upon completion of the property.

THE voices of hope are getting louder and it appears to be a matter of "when" rather than "if" a build-then-sell method of housing delivery will be implemented and made part of the development industry's selling template. Certainly, that's call for celebration all round, even if the Government's backroom boys are still trying to find ways to implement it. After all, market commentators already seem to have found the solution - it was a system I too suggested shortly after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi made the call in May for an end to the present method of selling before building, which has caused of a lot of nightmares and heartaches for buyers.

But put aside your fears and trepidation long enough to think clearly, and you'll realise that the choice is merely a question of priorities and preferences. There is no wrong or right answer.

Until CFs are available, they are not able to move into their houses, even though the full purchase price has been disbursed and they have started servicing their bank loans.
