Does your home measure up?
09/12/2008 NST By Ivy Chang
Your Sale and Purchase Agreement states that you're getting a house with
1,200sq ft of space. However, upon obtaining vacant possession, you
discover that it's actually quite a lot smaller. Whoa, though. Before
confronting your developer for explanations, there are some things you
need to know. First, you can't revoke your purchase based on this
discrepancy, not even if a professional surveyor confirms that there is
indeed a shortfall. However, you can recover some money from the developer
if the difference between what you signed for and what you're actually
getting exceeds a stipulated amount.

housing industry's significant contributions to economic development, it
is also mindful that house buyers too play an important role as the
industry's customers. For the industry to be sustainable, it strongly
feels that the interests of both the developers and house buyers need to
be taken into account, especially those of the latter who have only an
inaudible voice in the wilderness.

buyers more cautious but recent events of aborted deals do not reflect a
drastically changing market. In November, IOI Corp Bhd scrapped a deal to
buy Menara Citibank in central Kuala Lumpur for almost RM600 million,
citing concerns about the economy.
