PETALING JAYA: Property developers have overpriced their units to help buyers obtain extra cash, Property Managers, Estate Agents and Property Consultants in the Private Sector Malaysia (PEPS) said.

Buyers secure a loan based on the inflated price in the sale and purchase agreement with extra cash at hand in what is termed as a “cash-back” feature.

“This use of the approved developers’ list has been in practice for many years. Banks have their own preferred list of developers. However, there are repercussions to this practice. Kong said PEPS has asked Bank Negara and relevant authorities to reinstate the need for new projects to be valued.A buyer who buys directly from the house owner has to get the house independently valued if he were to seek bank financing.A source from the Royal Institute of Surveyors Malaysia who declined to be named concurred with Kong.
