England has the new Renters’ Rights Act. Should we have a similar one here in Malaysia

I do wonder why this is needed because if I was the tenant, I would have already seen the place. So, when I signed, I am fully aware what I was signing myself into. Well, if the tenant is now able to provide a two months’ notice versus having to pay until the end of the contract, what would be the avenues available to the landlord? Can they also give the same two months’ notice and tell the tenant to leave?

My property price could be higher but the value of money is lower. Noted. So?

Yes, inflation should be a worry for all of us. It does not stop even in the BEST governed countries of the world. In the property investment world, many people are saying that a fully paid RM500,000 priced property bought today will actually give the owner a lot less in actual purchasing power from the property, even if the price at the end of 30 years have risen to RM1,000,000. Plus the fact that many personal finance experts (who owns no property) are also saying the same.

4 Key Reasons to Sell Your Property Fast

If the home was not tenanted and you are still paying for the monthly mortgage, a delay of 6 months would have been thousands or even tens of thousands of loss in potential income. You are paying both the principall and the interest payment and yet the house is not yielding anything at all. If the house is tenanted, then it could delay your selling the house and this selling will take a very long time. If we really intend to sell the house, give notice to the tenant so that you will have an empty home and the property agent could bring people to view easily without the need to coordinate with the tenant.

Briefly, en bloc sale meant the collective sale of all the units within the development to one developer / new owner and all the owners will collectively get a portion of the sale of the whole block or blocks. For many developed property markets, en bloc sale also meant that as long as a certain majority number of owners willing to sell is reached, then sale becomes a certainty.

China property buyers are the top among foreigners buying properties in Malaysia for 1H 2025

I would love for foreigners to appreciate our property market enough that they actually chose to buy properties here. However, I would not want the property market to be so attractive that the buying becomes rampant or over double digits in some countries. When someone super wealthy buys a property in another country, chances are, they will be willing to pay more and this will inevitably lead to higher property prices if every transaction is showing an increase in price. So, which are the countries buying a lot of Malaysian properties? Is it C, I and S? Haha. Read on:

One day, property prices could become fully and totally unaffordable?

Buying wrong properties is fatal. Buying overpriced properties will mean a long time to recovery for this financial mistake. Waiting too long just meant that someone else is getting richer but just not the one who’s renting…I believe buying a property should be as quickly as possible if our financial capabilities allow. PLEASE REMEMBER, BUYING THE WRONG PROPERTY IS STILL WRONG yeah. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT OVERSTRETCHING FINANCIALLY IS DANGEROUS yeah. Due diligence is needed for all types of investments. Understand what we buy and do not blindly follow any friend or any property guru who’s a very good presenter.

Houses vs Units: Which Will Make You a Millionaire?

I arrived in Melbourne last Sunday and will be in Melbourne for around 10 days. I met my friend who shared with me that she was staying in a townhouse and she explained that a townhouse meant that the owner of a big piece of land decided to sub-divide the land and build units within the same land. Her home is one out of 16 other units within the same piece of huge land. In other words, this particular house on one piece of land was demolished and 16 units of townhouses are now on the same piece of land. Do read a brief explanation below:

Top 5 Reasons for Selling Property Below Purchase Price

This was a valid statement by someone who was maybe very wealthy, so just wanted to show how rich he was. It’s not a positive statement because it’s not a positive one. Selling lower than the price we bought simply meant losing money.

Anyone would have driven past some commercial buildings which has been abandoned. It could have been a factory but is no longer in operation. When it comes to production, the margin is usually small and thus any changes in the market could be fatal to the factory. Some of these abandoned or even unused commercial buildings have been transformed into something else. For example, a cafe… maybe even a n event space…

Why Analysts Favor S P Setia for Growth

S P Setia is a very famous brand in the property development industry. It has a huge land bank and if I remember correctly, they are still within the largest few developers when it comes to landbanks here in Malaysia. If we look at just the sales numbers, S P Setia are one of the few developers who could do a billion ringgit of sales every quarter or less. I personally rate any developer who’s selling over RM1 billion per quarter as huge and reflects the property market closely.
