The progressive payment schedule for property in Malaysia

April 25, 2019 editor

The Housing Development Act (HDA) 1966 was updated with the Housing Development Amendment Act (HDAA) 2012 that came into effect on June 1, 2015.

Details of the breakdown for the progressive payment for Schedule G & H are as below:-

Schedule G is for landed residential while Schedule H is for strata residential.

There is no schedule for commercial properties thus less protection for buyers.
