Any way to get back deposit ?

gooroojee — Mon, 18 Jul 2022 20:01:48 +0800

Hi gurus. Here's the scenario. Buyer paid 5% ernest deposit to seller. Then seller prepare S&P agreement which has aggressive clauses like, must settle payment within a month of discharge, after which it incurs interest for the second month, and if not fully settled by 3rd month then all is forfeited. Seller keeps deposit.

Now buyer is taking bank loan. No guarantee by bank on disbursement schedule. Also, property valuation is lower than selling price, so cannot take higher loan also...

If buyer and seller don't agree on sale and purchase terms, then can the buyer get the deposit back?

Thanks!

Dear sifus, hoping for some help during MCO period... Is this a serious problem and how much would the repair cost ? Or better if I replace with a new aircon altogether?

Thanks very much!

Transfer of property title to foreign wife ?

gooroojee — Sun, 09 May 2021 22:36:10 +0800

Hi property gurus,

Can a Malaysian transfer the title of their property to a foreigner spouse? If the property is under 500k and it is not tied to any loan, i.e. fully paid.

Thanks!

Vaccination while pregnant ?

gooroojee — Sun, 22 Dec 2019 21:00:46 +0800

Dear moms,

Has your doctors given you any vaccinations while you are pregnant ? Is this SOP in private and government hospitals ?
If so, what's the vaccination schedule like? If not, how do I ask for it? Is it costly?

I checked online and only found vaccination schedules for newborns... Can't find references for the same for pregnant mothers.

Thanks in advance!
