Mah Sing new project Ferringhi Residence

Another upcoming project up Ferringhi hills...

Mah Sing Group Bhd will unveil its RM800mil residential project on a 61-acre site in Batu Ferringhi in the first quarter of 2011.

Group managing director and chief executive Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum said the project to be known as Ferringhi Residence@Penang was designed to be a gated and guarded project, comprising landed properties such as semi-detached, bungalow homes and condominiums.

The semi-detached units, with built-up of 3,000 sq ft, is priced from RM1.4mil onwards, while the bungalow homes, with built-up of 4,200 sq ft, is priced from RM2.2mil.

There will also be condominiums with built-up areas of between 850 sq ft and 1,800 sq ft, priced tentatively from RM480 psf.

Most phases would enjoy commanding views of the sea, he said.

Leong added that the semi-detached homes and bungalows would have their own separate clubhouse facilities.

The condominium will have a facilities deck that will house amenities such as a swimming pool, gym and various other facilities, he added.

Leong said Batu Ferringhi, a renowned tourist belt on the island, was sought after by homeowners and investors as it was located away from the city's hustle and bustle.

Our superlink homes in Penang such as Residence@Southbay are about 90% sold and are expected to be handed over to purchasers by the first quarter of 2011. Penang is an important market for us and we want to create the same kind of excitement there that we have achieved in the Klang Valley, he said.

Mah Sing's wholly-owned subsidiary Uptrend Housing Development Sdn Bhd yesterday acquired the 61-acre freehold site in Batu Ferringhi for RM157.3mil cash or about RM59.17 psf.

The land has been converted for residential development and the group has received approval from the local authorities for the development plans of the landed properties of Ferringhi Residence@Penang, he said. - By David Tan (The Star)

Developers unfazed by new ruling

"This was taken on the Property Fair that Propertizer team participated in..."

KUALA LUMPUR: Most developers participating at the Star Property Fair 2010 are unfazed with the lower loan-to-value ratio imposed by Bank Negara early this month on buyers taking up a third loan on a new house as they believe the new ruling would not significantly impact their bottomline.

The decision to impose the new ruling is to cool down the property market and to curb speculations.

Effective from Nov 3, house buyers who have signed up for two mortgages and intend to apply for a third loan will only be eligible to get up to 70% financing of the value of the house.

The Haven Sdn Bhd personal assistant of principal Yeo Kong Meng said: As a medium to high-end developer, we have not found this new ruling to have impacted our sales so far.

We also don’t think this cap on home financing will have a severe impact on our bottomline going forward.

He said many home buyers were already placing at least 20% deposit to book the company’s properties, prior to the new ruling.

Yeoh also said 60% to 70% of the company’s customers were housebuyers, while 30% bought property for investment. Many of our house buyers have high disposable incomes; paying a higher deposit for their new property is not an issue.

Event manager K.Kalai said the company’s main property project The Haven in Ipoh would comprise of three-condo towers built next to a natural lake and had a total gross development value (GDV) of RM230mil.

Tower A is almost fully taken up and is priced at RM338 per sq ft. The price range of a unit starts from RM331,500 onwards, he said, adding that all three towers would be fully built by 2013.

Penang-based Ivory Properties Group Bhd project director Murly Manokaran said property sales had not been impacted at all by the new ruling.

We actually welcome the new ruling, he said, adding that it would ensure that banks had housebuyers who were less likely to default on their loan payments.

Sime Darby Property executive (property division) Rizal Affendy Abdul Latif concurred with the other developers that the new ruling had not impacted sales.

We have so far not experience a slow down in sales due to a higher deposit on a third house. Most housebuyers with an investment intention are prepared for a higher deposit, Rizal Affendy said, adding that Sime Darby’s strong reputation on delivering quality homes might have helped ensure sales remained strong.

We are targeting sales of about RM50mil for this fair but it will include following up with enquiries after the fair, he said, adding that the bulk of the house buyers were likely to be first or second-time home buyers.

Plenitude Heights Sdn Bhd executive (sales and marketing) Kevin Ho also concurred that the new ruling should not significantly impact the company’s sales.

The uptake of Plenitude Heights properties so far has been satisfactory despite the new ruling, he said.

Rimbunan Raya Sdn Bhd senior manager Moses Ooi Chong Seng said the company was a niche and high-end developer.

Our current project The Enclave, in Perak, is a gated exclusive boutique residential development comprising of 45 bungalows, of which there are only eight units left for sale with price tags ranging from RM1.5mil to RM3mil, Moses said, adding that sales were good despite the new ruling.

Well...what do You guys think?

Good news high-rise residence buyers

PETALING JAYA: Strata titles for properties like condominiums, apartments and flats will be issued simultaneously when buyers get their keys under a proposed amendment to the current law.

National House Buyers Association honorary secretary-general Chang Kim Loong said this was among its proposals, which had been approved by the Housing and Local Government Ministry, to be tabled in Parliament by March next year.

“This will prevent errant developers from not applying for strata titles after having received the full amount,” Chang said in an e-mail interview.

He said the Housing Development Act, Strata Title Act and several other Acts must also be amended to help housebuyers who were at a disadvantage under current legislation.

He said the association also proposed that there must be separate individual titles for landed property prior to the developer being granted a license from the Housing and Local Government Ministry.

Recently, Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Chor Chee Heung said that his ministry was working with the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry on amendments to the Building and Common Property Act.

Chor said that it aimed to table the amendments in Parliament by March next year with the goal of detailing the boundaries, roles and responsibilities of strata title owners, property managers and developers so that the rights of home owners could be better protected.

He added that the amendments were needed because they would spell out how home owners could exercise their rights under the Act and how many votes a home owner would have if he or she owned more than one unit in a building.

Commenting on the proposal for vacant possession and strata title to be issued simultaneously, a working executive Y.H. Tee, 35, who bought a condominium in Petaling Jaya two years ago, said it was good that purchasers would officially ‘own’ their properties upon receiving the keys.

Tee said that giving strata titles to housebuyers during vacant possession could prevent cases of developers not bothering to apply for them even after the projects had been completed for many years.

New rule to cool property speculation

Breaking News!: Bank Negara Malaysia has put in place a rule that allows banks to lend only up to 70 per cent of the house value.



The new mortgage lending rule, which applies only to borrowers taking up a third housing loan, is meant to curb excessive investment and speculative activity in urban areas.

"While Malaysia is not experiencing a general property price bubble, targeted pre-emptive measures are appropriate to moderate the increases in property prices that are evident in select locations, arising from purchases that are speculative in nature.

"This measure is expected to moderate excessive investment and speculative activity in the residential property market and to ensure affordability of homes for genuine house buyers," Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz said in her keynote address at the Financial Industry Conference in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

She gave the assurance that financing facilities for the purchase of first and second homes would not be affected and that borrowers would still be able to obtain financing for these at the current loan-to-value ratio (LVR) applied by individual banks, based on their internal credit policies.

The new rule takes effect immediately. Banks were previously not subjected to any curbs on mortgage lending.

The Association of Banks in Malaysia (ABM), whose members comprise the country's 23 commercial banks, supported Bank Negara's move, saying that it was "timely and pre-emptive".

"While the banking sector is wholly in support of house ownership, we agree that appropriate measures should be adopted to avert unhealthy speculative activities which could lead to a property bubble," its chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar said in a statement yesterday.

Abdul Wahid, who is also the chief executive officer of top lender Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank), said the move was not expected to dampen or have an adverse impact on the growth of residential property development, nor on the banks' house financing business.

The ABM and its member banks had engaged with Bank Negara on the matter prior to the latter coming out with the ruling.

A banking analyst from a foreign brokerage noted that most banks, particularly the bigger ones, already adopt strict LVR on borrowers taking up a second, and especially third, housing loan, with location also being an important factor.

As such, the analyst agreed with Abdul Wahid that the new rule was not likely to have a big impact on the banks' mortgage business.

"On a third loan, it's already quite hard to get an 80 per cent LVR now," she remarked. For a first loan, banks usually lend up to 90 per cent of the house value, or even up to 100 per cent in some cases.

The country's biggest mortgage players by market share are Public Bank Bhd, CIMB Bank Bhd and Maybank.

Property developer Mah Sing Group Bhd also does not see the new rule hurting overall sentiment of the market significantly as it comprises mainly first-time buyers and upgraders.

Neither does its group managing director Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum see a property bubble building up as the price increases have been largely those of properties with good concepts by well-known developers and in good locations.

Zeti, in her speech, noted that residential property prices in the country had increased steadily in tandem with economic development and rising household income.

"In the more recent period, however, certain specific locations, particularly in the urban centres, have experienced faster growth, both in house prices and the number of transactions. Supporting this trend has been the increase in financing for multiple-unit purchases by a single borrower. This suggests investment activity that is of a speculative nature," she said.

Property prices in Malaysia rose 5.6 per cent in the first quarter of this year and 4.2 per cent in the second quarter, according to Bank Negara. - By Adeline Paul Raj (Business Times)

Buyers to pay more after second house

Malaysians have to fork out more money from today to buy more than two houses after Bank Negara slammed the brakes on property speculation.

The central bank announced with immediate effect the implementation of a maximum loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 70% for people buying their third or more house, meaning those wanting their third property onwards have to come out with their own cash amounting to 30% of the value of the house.

“Financing facilities for purchase of the first and second homes are not affected and borrowers will continue to be able to obtain financing for these purchases at the present prevailing LTV level applied by individual banks based on their internal credit policies,” Bank Negara said in a statement yesterday.

The central bank said at the national level, property prices had increased steadily and remained manageable compared with the historical trends but for certain hot locations, particularly around the urban areas, faster growth in prices and transactions had been seen.

“This is further supported by an increase in financing provided for multiple unit purchases by a single borrower, suggesting increasing investment activity that is of a speculative nature,” it said. - The Star

Mortgage cap decision soon

Bank Negara Malaysia may make it harder for Malaysians to buy more than two houses as it seeks to stem speculative buying that is pushing up property prices.




Sources said the central bank would be meeting with banks next week to discuss plans for a mortgage cap whereby loans would be limited to a portion of the property value.

"The expectation is a cap of about 70-80 per cent. We think a directive will be issued to cap," said two sources with knowledge of the meeting.

Earlier, Bank Negara Malaysia governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz said it was prepared to take pre-emptive action and that it has wide-ranging instruments to prevent a property bubble.

"We want to promote house ownership, but we want it to be done in an orderly manner and we don't want speculative activities," she told reporters on the sidelines of the Global Islamic Finance Forum in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

She acknowledged that there may be pockets of bubbles forming in parts of Malaysia, but believes Malaysian banks are dealing with this through their own risk management process.

Areas like the Klang Valley and Penang have reported strong property demand.

In June this year, some 147 double-storey terrace houses just outside of Kuala Lumpur priced from RM1.75 million each were sold out in just five hours.

Rising property prices have been fuelled by low borrowing costs, the continuing promotions by developers and expectations of a recovering economy.

More money is also flowing into Asia from developed economies where interest rates are low as investors seek higher returns elsewhere.

But this is not unique to Malaysia. Regulators in China, Hong Kong and Singapore have imposed measures to cool their property markets.

Zeti also said that "massive" financial literacy programmes would be rolled out as a pre-emptive measure.

These would be aimed at those aged below 30 to help them better manage their finances at the start of their careers. - By Shahriman Johari (Business Times)
