7 Common Buyer Mistakes to Avoid
1. Insufficient Power Supply
Upgrading from 300A to 1000A costs RM 150-500k and takes 3-9 months. Always verify amp capacity before purchase.
2. Wrong Zoning
Incorrect zoning = no operating license. Get official zoning certificate from local council before signing.
3. Poor Road Access
Container trucks need 10-12m wide roads with proper turning radius. Test access with large vehicles.
4. Flood-Prone Areas
Check historical flood data with council. Look for water stains 1-2m high on walls during site visits. Obtain flood assessment where available.
5. Hidden Renovation Costs
Budget RM 500k-1.5M for older properties. Get professional inspections before making offers.
6. Tenancy Issues
Review existing lease terms, tenant payment history, and compare rent to market rates before buying.Check historical flood data with council. Look for water stains 1-2m high on walls during site visits.
