So, let’s get into what are the fees or deposit that involved in purchasing a home in Malaysia.
1. 10% Deposit

2. Sale & Purchase Agreement ( SPA ) Lawyer Fee, Stamp Duty, and Disbursement Fee comes about 3%-4% of the Purchase Price

3. Loan documentation Lawyer Fee, Stamp Duty and Disbursement Fee comes to 2.50% to 3.0% of loan amount.
Many of us need a bank to complete the process when buying a house. We need a bank to finance the balance 90% of purchase price. So, this will involve another agreement, the cost of preparing this agreement is about 2.50% to 3.0% of Loan amount.
Most of the time, these fees can be financed into the loan. But, there are many banks might require customer to pay themselves. Although, if you ‘re lucky enough, some banks will absorb this fees with higher interest rate.
4. Valuation Fee, about 0.30% of Property value

2. SPA Lawyer Fee, Stamp Duty and Disbursement Fee : RM500,000 x 4% = RM20,000
3. Loan documentation Lawyer Fee, Stamp Duty and Disbursement Fee : 3% x RM450,000 = RM13,500
4. Valuation Fee: RM500,000 x 0.30% = RM1500
5. Bank processing Fee : RM200
Total : RM50,000+RM20,000+RM13,500+RM1500+RM200 = RM85,200 ( 17% of Purchase Price)
