Q/A3

By Michael Yeoh, financing consultant

Mervin Long@Kajang: I am happy with the area I live in and would like to buy one more unit, possibly at auction prices. Could you please advise where I can find the listing of auction properties in a specific area?

RED: Normally, when banks auction their properties, it will not be concentrated only in a specific area. You can work with some auction houses and get them to notify you if there are units available in the area of your choice.
