Nowadays, there are plenty of property listing website in Malaysia such as PropertyGuru, iproperty and etc allow the homebuyers to gather all of the details such as neighborhood of the property, time on the market, property price trend and etc in order to begin draw up their negotiation strategy.
➋ Get Pre-Approved For A Home Loan
Through the pre-approval letter, you will get to know the maximum amount that you can borrow from the bank and this is one of the most important process during property purchase. In addition, you can show the pre-approval letter to the sellers that you are ready to buy that property up to a certain amount. With a pre-approval letter in hand, you’re practically as much purchasing power as walking in with cash.
➌ Ask For A 5% To 10% Under The Price
In property investment field, anything is negotiable. You can ask for a 5% to 10% under the property price that you expect to pay for that property. For example, if the seller’s asking price is RM 370k and you can ask for RM 350k, then RM 320k and let the negotiations begin. On the other hand, if the seller comes up with the price higher than what you expected, you can negotiate to have some appliances or any accessories included in the purchase price. In this case, you’re likely to win concessions in a buyer’s market.
