Property ownership costs
'Quit rent' and 'Assessment tax' are two new terms that I've uncovered as we research the possibility of buying a place in KL. it would really help in our financial model to know what the rates and frequencies of these charges are but I can't find a suitable website. Can any property owners in KL (I guess rates are state dependent) shed any light on this?

Re: Property ownership costs
I think you will find these vary depending on the property. A local real estate agent and/or lawyer should be able to give you details. One important factor when buying a property is to ensure the vendor/developer is up to date with quit rent payments.
