Malaysia is a great place to live and invest - but you need to get the full facts before you buy.
Website companies that try to sell you property without telling you the full facts or (in many cases) without even having checked out what they are selling should be avoided. And anyone who has not seen some 'developments' in Port Dickson for themselves needs to be especially wary.
You need to find out the facts about resort developments like The Banyan Curve at Port Dickson or 'Sepang Gold Coast' - as well as other similar 'investment deals' promoted on the Internet in the UK and other countries.  Shell Plant: what they don't want you to see.
Of course, you can always go yourself and see what the developer and the agents don't really want you to see - before you buy. But that all costs you money - despite the "free inspection trips" offered by some UK-based internet sites.
Also, don't forget that you could be paying 10% or 15% more for your property by dealing with a UK-based agent. These costs are often based on commission payments to people who have never even been to Malaysia.
- Why risk over-paying because of commissions to UK or other middle-men - if you do decide to invest?
- What value do they add to your transaction?
- Are you paying the same price for the same property as a local can?

Beware of 'rampers' talking up developments on internet forums, chat-rooms and blogs. They are often paid by the developers or have a vested interest in parting you from your money.
Check if people will really pay the nightly room-rates of RM400 to RM700 the brokers say a water-chalet in Port Dickson can generate? You can easily find out yourself what a room-night at this development sells for by making a booking with the operator.
Do you believe that the guaranteed rental returns offered are possible? Ask yourself: Guaranteed by whom? Backed by what...?
Will the developer or operator simply go bust - leaving you with the problem - and then open up again under a similar name? It does happen - even in the UK.
Remember to carefully check the 'small print' in the Sale & Purchase Agreement, Deeds of Mutual Covenant or Lease Back Agreement to make sure things are as they seemed when you decided to buy.
Find out if Malaysian banks will consider lending on certain projects and make sure you use an independent local lawyer when purchasing.
Port Dickson is a popular location for many buyers attracted by the safe clean beaches and clear seas. But you need to be careful where you buy because there are also petrochemical plants and oil terminals to the north of the resort.
The best spots are to the south of the town near the golf course and Admiral Cove.
