Housing Development Law by SY Kok

For conveyancing lawyers and others in the housing market, Housing Development Law by S Y Kok is a standard text. It examines the laws governing the housing industry, focusing on key issues such as the standard form sale and purchase agreement, housing loans, delivery of vacant possession, defect liability period, sale of housing accommodations to foreign purchasers, the definition of "housing development," housing development business licencing, and the opening and proper operation of housing development accounts.

With reference to pertinent instances and parallels to laws from Sabah and Sarawak, the breadth and extent of the primary legislation, the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act 1966, as well as subordinate rules and regulations, are clearly described.

Housing developers, conveyancing practitioners, banks, regulators, and purchasers who want to grasp or improve their understanding of housing, conveyancing, and property law will find this book invaluable.
