NHBA Conference on House Buyers Rights: “Protection Not Guaranteed”
The National House Buyers Association is organising a Conference on House Buyers Rights when purchasing new property from Developers and what can be done to protect the rights of house buyers.
As you know, there are still many bad developers out there, from Abandoned Projects, Late Delivery, shoddy workmanship, etc, the list goes on. This conference is not about developer bashing, but to create awarness on the rights of new House Buyers.
Protection Not Guaranteed
The National House Buyers Association (HBA), an apolitical, housebuyers protection organisation is organizing a House Buyers Conference with the theme “Protection Not Guaranteed” for house buyers to confer and share their home acquiring experience.
According to its honorary secretary general, Chang Kim Loong, sweeping legislations to protect home-buyers and to promote home ownership have failed to follow through to ensure adequate protection for each and every homebuyer from stalled, abandoned, defective homes and the peaceful enjoyment of their homes.
“House buyers are never warned about the inadequate protection from buying a yet to be built home and most found out the hard way when things go wrong,” he said. “Aggrieved house buyers are made to go from one department to another, resort to the media to highlight their plight, plead to the Prime Minister, seeking intervention of the Minister of Housing & Local Government and his Ministry, for a solution or worse go to court for justice.”
This conference will also kick off a on a Malaysian “House Buyers’ Bill of Rights”. The Bill of Rights seeks to shift the mindset of industry players and decision makers towards pro-house buyers – because a home should have better protection than any other purchase.
The conference is organized by the National House Buyers Association and will be held at Putra World Trade Center (PWTC), Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, 6th December, 2008 at 2.30pm. Participation fee is only RM15 per person. For more information, please call 012 3345676 or 012-2524287 or check out the HBA website at www.hba.org.my
