佳居锦囊：记得更新你的租赁地契！
有期地契房产一般在租期过了30年之后，资产增值幅度就会开始放缓，这也意味着业主该考虑申请延长租期了。 Messrs Amir Toh Francis & Partners 事务律师Ivan Chan表示，申请延长有期地契租期没有所谓的最佳时机，但业主必须谨记的是，切勿等到租期过期后才申请延长，因为到时候的手续将更为繁琐。 他在早前的Maspex 2018房产展销会上的专题演讲中说：“延长有期地契租期的手续应该在到期前申请，若是已经过期，那么就得重新申请地契转让，这么做的话将涉及更昂贵的费用，这笔费用甚至可能就像是在买地。” 如果有期地契租约已经到期，而且业主没有展开任何行动，相关物业的产权将自动归州政府所有，并且可以开放让其他人申请拥有。 他指出，业主提出延长申请不一定会被批准，即便获得批准，延长期限或许也会比原来的租约期限来得短。 他续称，有期地契房产的土地拥有权归州政府所有，且各州对有期地契的租期延长申请拥有不同的审核标准与程序，涉及的费用也各异。 如果业主的申请获得批准，也必须在限期内缴交更新租期的费用，否则在逾期后，业主必须重新申请。 一般上，州政府拒绝申请的理由，大多是相关土地将被征作公共设施或大型基建项目的发展用地，或是作为国家紧急计划用途。 英文版原文已于2018年10月5日刊登于EdgeProp.
房屋趣：勾画出本地色彩的The Canvas Hotel
The Canvas Hotel执行董事Kelvin Taing坚信，一间好的酒店不应只单凭空间和设施来定义，也应该将其便利程度和是否具备宾至如归的氛围纳入考量。 所以，Taing策划The Canvas Hotel初期，就决定只采用本地艺术家的作品，作为酒店装饰的主调。 这间位于巴生Bandar Bukit Tinggi的精品酒店共有98间客房，强调的是房间的舒适度、便利和本地文化色彩。 “我们希望让访客感受到一间马来西亚家庭的感觉，所以酒店内的家具和装饰都委托了本地设计师负责。” 四位与Taing合作的主要本地设计师和艺术家，包括了得奖无数的画家Wong Chee Meng、家具品牌Nokta、灯饰设计师Stephanie Ng和居家装饰品品牌Nala Designs。 他说：“我们相信如果没有体验到当地文化，就不算真正到过一个地方旅游。所以我们与Wong合作创作20副具本地色彩的画作，为每间房增添属于马来西亚的韵味。” 另外，The Canvas Hotel也与Nokta的设计师们合作设计沙发、椅子和茶几等家具，并配上由Nala Design出品的抱枕，勾勒出马来西亚寻常家庭的面貌。 此外，Ng也为The Canvas Hotel量身设计新系列的灯饰，而这批灯饰系列也会在稍后投入市场。 瞄准市场空隙 尽管巴生并不是热门旅游景点，但Taing却认为这个地方的潜力无限，因为The Canvas Hotel位于全马最大的Aeon对面，占尽地利的优势。 “我们的酒店在巴生港口和城镇之间，而且全马最大的Aeon就在对街，加上来往吉隆坡国际机场的接驳巴士站，就在酒店正前方。” 他表示，当地只有四星级以上、每晚RM300的酒店，或者是每晚RM100以下的廉价店屋酒店，The Canvas Hotel正好介于两者之间。 “我们正好填补了市场的空隙，我们的目标客户是国内外游客，以及商业旅客。” 英文版原文已刊登于2018年10月12日的EdgeProp.
