Don't know whether is it depending on project or legal firm? Couldn't remember when they collected the legal fees in my previous 2 purchases in 2007. looks like around S&P. But my most recent purchase about 2 yrs ago only collect the legal fees during the 40% progressive payment that was only 1 week ago. (i.e. About 2 yrs after S&P)

Regards.

Yes. Legal fees will rebate up to 0.5% of the loan. If u took small loan, then u need to pay the difference. Regards.

Thanks for the info.

I suspect it's somewhat case by case basis, depending on different law firms' practice....
