What Is Schedule H?
It standardises important matters such as the parcel, price, progressive payments, vacant possession, defect liability, common facilities and strata-related obligations. Buyers must still read every appendix and project-specific detail.
What does Schedule H mean in a Malaysian property SPA?
Schedule H is a prescribed sale-and-purchase agreement used for certain stratified housing accommodation sold by licensed housing developers under Malaysia’s housing-development regulations.
What buyers should know
Five key points.
- 01
It is commonly associated with new stratified residential development.
- 02
Progress payments follow certified construction stages.
- 03
Vacant-possession and delay provisions are prescribed subject to applicable law.
- 04
The defect-liability mechanism requires timely written notices.
- 05
Accessory parcels, share units and plans must match the purchase.
Practical example
The words “Schedule H” do not tell you the exact view, parking bays, finishing or facilities. Those details must be verified in the schedules, plans and specifications.
Examples are simplified for education and do not replace an assessment of the actual purchaser, title, SPA, financing or tax position.
Before committing
