Payment Procedure

Downpayment

The initial down payment as stated in our letter has to be paid to us on execution of the Sale & Purchase Agreement.

Late Payment Charge

As stipulated in the Sale & Purchase Agreement and Housing Developer’s (control and licensing) Act, a late payment charge at 10% p.a. calculated daily will be levied on any overdue payment.

Example : Invoice dated 11/4/2005 for RM28,100.00 Due date 10/5/2005 i.e. 21 days from date of invoice. Payment received on 16/5/2005 No. of days delayed : 11/5/2005 to 16/5/2005: 6 days 6 days/365 x 10% x RM28,100.00 = RM46.19
