Cure, but prevention is needed
10/04/1991NST
IF you were to buy a house now for $100,000 and take a loan for $80,000
repayable over 20 years, be prepared to stump out some, $700 a month. If
you earn anything under $2,000 a month, that's a lot to pay. Now consider
this. You have paid a developer $50,000 for that $100,000 dream house, but
he has run off with your money. You will be paying some $4,000 a year or
over $360 a month in interest with nothing to show for it. This puts paid
to any hope you may harbour of buying another house with your income since
you have to continue paying this interest to your banks, unless of course,
you repay the principal. Which is out of the question with your income.
There are some 55,000 such buyers in various stages of difficulty in Malaysia
- the hapless victims of incompetent, bungling, unscrupulous, greedy and
irresponsible housing developers. Multiply the figure by four (to a household)
and the number of people affected by abandoned housing schemes comes to
about 220,000, equivalent to one quarter of the population of Kuala Lumpur,

Odds against build-then-sell concept

THE odds are stacked heavily against the build-then-sell housing concept

of late or no delivery at all because of errant developers who abandoned
their projects. As at the end of last year, housing projects valued at $4.9
billion involving nearly 50,000 buyers were abandoned. |
