No cause for celebration ... yet 01/07/2006
NST By Salleh Buang
SINCE the housing industry was first regulated more than three decades
ago, we've had only one system in place - the Sell-Then-Build (STB) mode
of housing delivery. Or, "buying a plan off the shelf", rather than an
actual dream home. For so many people over these years, these dream homes
became living nightmares. They believed they were buying roofs over their
heads, but what they got were strangling debts that kept on growing, with
no roofs in sight.

In the interest of house-buyers
16/07/2006 MB
THE recent announcement that the government will adopt,
in principle, the build-then-sell concept as an option to the existing
sell-then-build concept is welcomed by homebuyers. The introduction of
10:90 will see house-buyers making a 10% payment upfront, with the balance
90% being settled upon the completion of the house. The idea is to provide
security to homebuyers by reducing their losses should a project be
abandoned. Although the system proposed appears good at first look, there
are two issues that need to be examined: attracting the interest of
homebuyers and reducing the number of abandoned projects.

THE 60,000 buyers since 1990 whose dreams of owning their own homes had

persistence of the problem of abandoned housing projects despite
amendments to the laws - have been reasons enough for the Government to
consider shaking up the property market by introducing the build-then-sell
(BTS) system. It has been, however, averse to taking the radical measure
of dumping the conventional sell-then-build (STB) practice by making BTS
mandatory. Instead of beating them with a legal stick, the Government is
banking on a bunch of carrots to persuade property developers to switch to
selling only finished homes.
