The danger with buying property in Malaysia is that you have no clue what the contractor has been doing. Why? Because nobody can be made responsible.
In the west: if anything goes wrong with my house, I will sue the architect. Everybody agrees that the end responsibility of a property is in the hands of the architect.
In Malaysia however architects are saying that they cannot be responsible…
Simple logic tells you that if you cannot hold the architect responsible, then who are you going to complain to?
Having purchased more than one property overseas, I must say in Malaysia you are on your own once something goes wrong with your property. Sad to say that they have a Malaysia My Second Home program in place but except for the word "home" in the program’s name, you don’t get any benefits for your property.
