http://forum.lowyat.net/ Wed, 22 Jul 2026 10:12:30 +0800 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4174030 I recently purchase a newly developed property. The developer is going to bear the legal fees for the SPA. After I signed the SPA with their panel lawyer, they asked if I would like to do the loan agreement, I could contact them.<br /><br />So after getting a few quotations from different lawyers, I decided to choose another lawyer that was recommended by a friend which is cheaper. When I approach the panel lawyer for the SPA document, they threatened that if I do not do the loan agreement with them, I will have to bear my own SPA legal fee.<br /><br />Is this a general practice where the SPA and loan agreement need to be from the same panel lawyer if the developer is covering the cost for SPA?<br />What can I tell the panel lawyer, that I really do not want to use their service since they are threatening me for the business. raylean89 Property Q&amp;A Fri, 13 Jan 2017 12:45:52 +0800
