How abt usual property agent fees? Buyer/seller and renting?

 

[Greyscale]

Hi folks, noobs here and quite lost here already.

Really keen on upping and moving to Johor to live (while working in SG). Any guidance?

Currently, all I hear in the news are that Iskandar is hot hot hot, but there's hardly any marketing of the developments (maybe not looking in the right places). also dunno where their showrooms are.

What about that area Medini? Also, what's Horizon Hills and how come it sounds like so much is going on there?

Appreciate any direction! Cheers!

How abt usual property agent fees? Buyer/seller and renting?

Understand that most agents ask for 1% & 2% from buyer and seller respectively; charge one month for rental services. Do negotiate if one deserves less.

I encourage buyer/seller to visit this forum. Beyond saving agent fee, we can help others learn and avoid painful mistakes. Thanks to many like-minded Bro & Sis in this community.

Hi there, so all in, a buyer of a resale unit has to pay an estimated 5-6% more of the purchase price. Is that right? Eg property stamp duty <3%, agent fee 1%, loan stamp duty 0.5%, legal fees < 1%. Thanks.

How do you flip Malaysian new launches?

Is there a way?

 

[tigerbear]

Re: How do you flip Malaysian new launches?

Is there a way?

Not easy and expensive to flip within short term. If u sell within 2yrs, u hv to pay 15pct Real property gain tax. 2-5yrs will b 10pct..for new launch, almost all developers are not allow u to sell before the completion date... Also, the legal and banking system will take ages to complete the whole transaction. If your property is leasehold,that's can even more complicated and need more time to complete it..

Buying JB or Overseas Properties with MOP not yet expired

There's a requirement for HDB flat dwellers to satisfy the MOP (Minimum Occupational Period) of 5 years before they can purchase a private property whether local or overseas.

I wonder what is the chance that one gets caught for having an oversea property? And under what kind of circumstances can they be caught? Are there any workarounds to the ruling, so that I can still purchase properties in JB without getting caught?

It is better to buy through proxy or company. Not worth the risk particularly if you borrow from bank with branches on both sides of the causeway.

Hard to enforce.

Sometime it is genuine mistake. I doubt many know about this Claus.

Re: Buying JB or Overseas Properties with MOP not yet expired

I think no one really bother..... If you are from India, China etc, how will Singapore govt know?

If you are Singaporean, maybe they can still check your bank account etc..

Re: Buying JB or Overseas Properties with MOP not yet expired

What could happen is the govt might catch a few to warn off others if Singapore laws is so seriously undermined. Ways to get around like using trustee, foreign spouse, relatives all involve some risks and complications.
