CONDOMINIUMS
Purchase, Investment
& Habitat
Halim Abdullah
The purpose of this book is to tell you
everything that the condominium developer should have but never
told you about the purchasing of condominiums, particularly
the social and legal issues involved, such as ownership title
and the by-laws and rights under the sale and purchase agreement.
We are forced to rely on the condominium model and the layout
plans in the glossy advertising brochures for all the information
we need. Unfortunately, such little information may not
be all that reliable. In choosing the right condominium,
the prospective condominium buyer should consider such factors
as design, lighting, location, price, market conditions, future
rental yields and the property developer's reputation and expertise.

law, the advantages and disadvantages, the scope, the estimates,
the workings, as well as the administration and appeals with
