Resumen
Houses bought through sub-sale contract are of varying quality. The ?caveat emptor? doctrine compels the purchaser to make a thorough investigation in a sub-sale house purchase. The ?as is? clause posits that the house is sold based on its existing conditions. This paper analyses the application of the ?caveat emptor? and ?as is? clause in Malaysia and highlights the framework of information disclosure on property conditions in Malaysia, in comparison with the vendor disclosure laws in the United States and Australia. This paper suggests that a pre-purchase checklist should be provided in a sale and purchase transaction.
