JPPH-RISM RESEARCH: A REPORT ON FINDINGS
INVESTIGATING THE PROPERTY OVERHANG SITUATION : POLICY ANALYSES

The Royal Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (RISM) has published a collaborative research with Jabatan Penilaian dan Perkhidmatan Harta (JPPH), titled “Investigating Property Overhang Situation: Policy Analyses”. The book explores the property overhang situation and provides policy analyses.

This study identifies flaws in the planning approval process and a failure to consider market conditions as reasons for over-building, leading to an overhang situation in the country. Property overhang is a long outstanding issue in the Malaysian Real Estate Industry. First highlighted after the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, the issue persists until today in spite of the various measures taken by the government. The statistics on residential property overhang as at Q3 2019 reveals that the magnitude of the problem is three times more in volume and eleven times more in value than the first overhang data captured in 2004. Residential property overhang is not only an issue to the developers but equally important is to consider the social costs that it presents to the house-buyers and the community in which the overhang units exist. Hence, it becomes urgent to address and rethink some of the policies and measures to address the overhang issue.

The study recommends some changes to the current system, including greater emphasis on market conditions, including Napic in the planning approval process, and a RM1mil deposit from developers to ensure construction within six months after start-order is approved.
