Abandoned housing project / Projek rumah terbengkalai

1. Every house buyer has the fear of buying into abandoned housing project. Especially those who can only afford to have one house.

2. When you see your house not completed within the S & P periods and there is no visible activities at the site for six consecutive months, there is a high possibility bordering a certainty that the project is being abandoned.

3. Will your project become abandoned? That's the question every buyer wants to be answered. There can be protection in the form of laws by the government but there is no guarantee that no housing project will be abandoned even if the Parliament passed the law of build then sell system. It's just that house buyer will lose less with the 10% of the purchase price in the build then sell system.

4. As of now, developers who abandoned their projects will only be blacklisted. Well, new companies can be set up if old one is blacklisted. Proxy can be used if the name cannot be used. No problem to the unscrupulous developers. Unless it is made an offence where developers can be jailed if convicted of abandoning their project, there will still be abandoned projects. The truth is not always pleasant though.

5. On the house buyer's side, it's about minimising the risk of buying into an abandoned project. The risk cannot be eliminated. Associations and laws can be created to help buyers if they face problem in seeking recourse. With them, the house buyers will not be helpless and can be educated on the right things to do in buying their house. All these will help the house buyers to make informed decisions.

6. Check for the following - DEVELOPER LICENCE, ADVERTISEMENT AND SALES PERMIT, HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ACCOUNT, BUILDING PLANS AND APPROVALS FROM LOCAL AUTHORITIES - before you sign the booking form and S&P. These are the basic things house buyers can do on their part in minimising the risk of being cheated. It will be very sad for one to have bought into an abandoned housing project because one didn't know there were no approvals and compliance of the basic rulings to start with!

3.Pembeli rumah harus faham dengan hakikat ini - TAK ADA GUARANTEE KEPADA PEMBELI RUMAH BARU BAWAH SISTEM SELL THEN BUILD BAHAWA PROJEK ITU TAK AKAN JADI TERBENGKALAI OLEH MANA MANA PIHAK.

4. Tindakan undang undang terhadap pemaju projek terbengkalai adalah tak cukup KUAT untuk menghindarkan ia dari terus berlaku. INI MERUPAKAN SATU SEBAB UTAMA MENGAPA PROJEK TERBENGKALAI TERJADI DAN TERUS BERLAKU.


5. Selain daripada bergantung kepada kementerian dan persatuan pembeli rumah untuk mendapat perlindungan melalui undang undang baru, pembeli rumah baru boleh membantu diri mereka sendiri dengan pengetahuan tentang apa yang patut buat sebelum membeli rumah.


6. Sebelum sain dokumen pendaftaran dan S&P, sila periksa dokumen dokumen berikut - DEVELOPER LICENCE, ADVERTISEMENT AND SALES PERMIT, HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ACCOUNT, BUILDING PLANS AND APPROVALS FROM LOCAL AUTHORITIES.
