Penang property sector in losses if movement control order extends

Property News/ 20 March 2020 No comments

George Town

Contractors and developers in Penang will suffer losses amounting to hundreds of millions of ringgit if the Movement Control Order (MCO) period is extended.

Penang Master Builders & Building Materials Dealers Association adviser Datuk Lim Kai Seng said there was at least RM5bil worth of construction jobs being carried out in Penang now.

“If the MCO is prolonged, then these projects will be delayed by at least one to two months, depending on the stage of completion they have already achieved.

“The contractors and developers will have to pay late delivery payments to the developers and house-buyers. When work is resumed, there is also the need to do remedial work, which will cost several million ringgit, ” Lim said.

Although quarry operations have stopped, the price of building materials has yet to increase. The price of cement has been maintained at RM16 per 50kg bag, while sand and steel are at RM45 and RM2,300 per tonne.

Lim added that there were now some 100,000 legal foreign workers in the state who are out of work.

Real Estate & Housing Developers Association Penang (Rehda) immediate past chairman Datuk Jerry Chan said Rehda would appeal for the sale and purchase agreement completion period to be extended due to the MCO.

“The supply of material and equipment -– such as tiles, sanitary ware and equipment – from China has faced disruptions, and the current MCO will worsen the situation, ” Chan added.

Ideal Property Group executive chairman Tan Sri Ooi Kee Liang said the group currently had five projects on the island. “If the MCO is extended, we can expect to pay late delivery payments, ” he said.

Meanwhile, investPenang director Datuk Seri Lee Kah Choon said factories classified under the essential category were allowed to maintain skeletal operations during the MCO period.

The electrical and electronics, petrochemical, medical device and food-manufacturing industries are listed under the essential category.

“The move will sustain the plants. As to what level is sustainable, it will be up to the individual factories to decide. Some factories may choose to shut down totally for various reasons such as workers refusing to work, ” he said.

Virus scare makes things gloomier for property sector

Property News/ 20 March 2020 2 comments

STP2

There is a fear among people in the real estate business that the Covid-19 scourge will make bad times worse for the sector, which has in recent years already been grappling with problems associated with a soft market.

Nearly a dozen real estate agents told FMT that inquiry calls have dropped sharply since the Covid-19 outbreak hit the headlines.

They said there had lately been no requests for the viewing of properties, either for rent or purchase.

Developer Jerry Chan, a former chairman of the Penang Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association, said he believed swift action and changes in government policies could soften the blow on the industry.

Government intervention would be especially helpful to developers who were in the midst of building their properties, he told FMT.

He said the government should take into account the disruption caused by the movement control order and allow developers to delay their completion dates.

“We also need the banks’ indulgences on repayments and loan servicing until this crisis blows over,” he added.

He said the government should push for a moratorium on loan installments for house buyers as well as those serving loans taken to finance commercial and industrial buildings.

“Desperate times need immediate and drastic action,” he said. “We need a crisis mode reaction.”

He also proposed an extension and enhancement of the home ownership campaign that the government initiated last year, saying it did bring some improvement to the property market.

A Penang-based real estate agent who asked to be quoted only as Heng said prospective property buyers appeared to be adopting a wait-and-see attitude.

He said some were assuming prices would drop with the end of the Covid-19 threat, but he speculated that this was unlikely, noting that the Hong Kong protests kept property prices soaring.

Heng said he was meanwhile trying to make sales through videos posted on the internet so that prospective buyers would not have to be physically present at the sites of the properties to view them.

“I’m posting more 360-degree views of the properties on Facebook,” he said.

Statistics by the National Property Information Centre show that 31,092 houses were unsold as of last September.

The aggregated values of these units have dropped from RM19.54 billion in 2018 to RM18.8 billion in 2019.
