Dear Anonymous, 1. Malaysian (with Singapore PR) can still buy residential property without any threshold. 2. Maximum loan 80% to 90% for first 2 properties only depending on property and income. Interest rate average 4.2% 3. Money from EPF Account 2 can be used to pay the price difference between the Sale & Purchase Agreement (SPA) price and the housing loan amount, up to an additional 10% on the price of the house. So if a full housing loan (100%) is obtained, the maximum that can be withdrawn is up to 10% of the price of the house. 4. The stamp duty & lawyers fees depends on the value of the house. Usually you should budget 3% to 5% of the value for stamp duty, lawyer's fees for SPA & Loan Agreement, costs etc. You may want to use the resource links on our website www.quantumrealestate.com.my to calculate. 5. For completed properties, you are expected to pay 2% to 3% as earnest deposit (booking deposit). The 10% (less the booking fee) are to be paid upon signing the SPA within 14 days from Letter of Offer (option to purchase). Balance 90% to be paid within 3 months from date of SPA or date of consent from local land office (if leasehold) plus another 1 more month extension whereby late payment interest of 8% is payable calculated on a day to day basis. 6. if you are buying with an existing tenant, then no vacant possession is provided but instead subject to the existing Tenancy Agreement and Inventory List.
