David bought a double storey terraced house on 14th September, 2018 for RM680,000. One month later, the car porch leaned and David succeeded in recovering RM15,000 by way of damages from the developer. In August, 2019, he made a renovation to the house costing RM80,000. In November the same year, Harun entered into an agreement to buy the property and he paid a deposit of RM30,000. However, Harun eventually got another better house and aborted the deal with David.

  • Valuation fee-----------------RM1,710
  • Cost of advertisement-------RM1,200
