Hi,


I got a house which is last time my parent name. Not long ago, they have transfer it to my name, but now the TNB and water bill still under my parent name, how to change it to my name? what document should prepare?

Thank you very much

me also got the same problem...mind everyone can share the solution...thanks!

S&P

You mean get the SnP to TNB and Syabas ??

i have done it before a few months ago, if i can remember correctly, you need your snp and IC as well as money for the deposit.
For tenaga, you need to go to the nearest Kedai Tenaga, whereas for Syabas, you need go to their HQ, for people in the KL / PJ, its actually opposite Telekom building in PJ. what is frustrating is, i had to go 2 times to the Syabas office, 1st time is to fill up the form to transfer name, 2nd time is to pay the deposit. They wont allow to do it all in 1 visit as they need to take the meter reading first.

for TNB you have to go to the Kedai Tenaga which is stated on the bill itself. Also call to confirm whether you have to put a new deposit or whether the old one can be transferred.

Wow really "boleh land" the management so good have to go 2 times to get things done.

Thank you very much for your sharing

i did my syabas change of name at Kerinchi there, near Bangsar. Go once, all done within 20 min.

need to bring what bro ? for both syabas and tnb.
snp original ? i only got copy. ic & money ?

bring along your legal document whatever you called it ... not too sure it's SPA because you said the house was from your parents and just transfer to your name. It should go through some lawyer with some legal document. Bring it to TNB andSyabas ... change to your name, that's all. But i think you need to call them and check which branch you need to go?

already done that last monday..
just bring snp and fotostat ic......and of coz, money...
for TNB, rm280 deposit, rm3 process fee and rm10 stem hasil (setem hasil need to buy 1st at post office) than, next day, tnb will come to install new meter (coz my old meter, tnb took it after my vendor terminate his account)
for syabas, rm100 deposit and rm30 fee.....also need to bring snp n ic copy. and it took 3day for syabas to install new meter.....

bro, u brought ori snp or certified or photocopy?

i brought photocopy and certified just in case. but tnb and syabas only look and take my photocopy snp. i not show them the certified snp.....
so, i think, only brought photocopy enough, and they take the photocopy one

Ic, thanks for the info bro. This will save a lot of hassle.

will the lawyer help me with this when i purchase a sub sale property?>

Lawyer helps preparing your s&p and transfer the title only.
Maybe you can ask your lawyer to do extra job for you..

ok...thanks for the tip, will let my lawyer noe....=)

what about phone line?

phone line usually apply a new one....i think....

for syabas i call and went to the branch they assigned.
for tnb i went to the nearest branch.
for phone it came with my streamyx combo application.

all settled in one day.

ok....thanks; it seems that i have to do it myself....nit to let the lawyer noe sin....

for tnb they need some stamping, those rm10 at lhdn, make sure go to a branch with lhdn nearby.

dun understand....after applying, nit go lhdn for stamping?

haiz....i just found out from my lawyer, i nit to do it myself....i thought they can help me transfer (the property agent told me some lawyers can help us with this)

if the house under joint name, do we need to go together?

since I pay the water bill to condo management office, do i still need to change the name to me from previous owner?

Or i just pay to the condo management office as usual?

note: the condo alrd get the strata title

My case is opposite . WTA how to do termination of account and when can get back deposit ? Any document needed ?????

amandua, i think if the acc is under your name, just go to any TNB outlets, ask for the termination of acc form, fill in, show them your IC, and done.

Do I need to know the previous owner's TNB account? Or just base on the SnP which have the address and Geran / Lot number will do

Thanks

Do you mean to apply for new TNB account? You do not need to know about previous owner's TNB account. All you need is to go to the nearest Kedai TNB with a copy of your S&P and IC, get the form. Fill up and done. If the previous owner has terminated their account & TNB has not removed the meter, then connection of supply will be fast

Thanks for all you guys sharing... suggest forum admin add like button

if the house under joint name, do we need to go together? SPA has two names

Akane I'm in tnb now. I help you ask. They said either one cone to change. Hope tat help.

hi all.. need some advice. i bought a house couple of month ago. the hse rent out to an unknown tenant. after purchased, it took 4months to chase the tenant out (he didn't pay me any single cent).

yesterday, when i check in the post box, got a pink letter (urat pemotongan) from syabas. the outstanding bill is rm1200 inclusive recontinue cost. the bill is still under previous owner name.

what should i do? can i just open a new account under my name? or i need to pay those rm1200 before change name?

shxt happen.. sohai tenant..

I think you'll need to settle the bill 1st. Else if everyone do this then TNB tutup kedai already. By the way, your "URAT pemotongan" sounds scary...

hahaha.. miss the S.. let syabas n tnb potong my utilities 10 times, i still ok.. dont potong that URAT, coz i just get married..

Which is nearest SYABAS branch and TNB for Kepong?

take your own initiative and call them to ask which branch manage your location, and please read and understand the first sentence of those you have quoted.

suppose to be either

Of all the utility companies. the most dinosaur one must be TNB
It is a pain to get new service and a pain to disconnect.
Have to run to LHDN to get the Stamp Hasil stamped. I dont even know why it needs Stamp Hasil when other utilities dont.
You cant close account at just any Kedai TNB but only at your designated one (stated on your statement)

Hopefully this requirement checklist helps you. I found in at Property Dance Blob

anything dealing with government is pain in the S, hehe

Bro, just bring the ORIGINAL & copy of S&P, I/C then will do. TNB go to the nearest TNB outlet, then Syabas need to go to the HQ. My experience is 1 time settle all.

FYI, is your syabas meter is old type? If yes, i recommend you don't do the name transfer. Cause once u transfer the name, Syabas will come to your house change the meter. The problem is, the F**king new meter run damn fast, monthly bill increase at least 30% to 40%. I do make complaint and they change the other too, but, still the same. So, better do nothing on the Syabas. TNB wont change the meter, so can do it...

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2322039/all

for tnb, some says need go LHDN for stamping, some says go post office buy stem hasil...which one is corret ?

Not need.
nearby photostat shop normally got sell stem hasil.
U just ask the TNB staff where got sell, they will point the shop for sure.

just to add.

After talking to TNB over the phone (can't find it on the website), this is the process to change name :

1) Get application form from TNB's office
2) Get photostated copy of s&p and ic
3) Get 2x RM10 stamp from post office
4) goto LHDN to stamp
5) go BACK to TNB to submit the form


* Yes, going to TNB office 2x times!


You can also read about this guys agony here :

EDIT :
Got this from TNB. With this, step #1 can be saved
One of the forms need to be signed by TNB officer, thus you will still need to go to their office bbefore LHDN!
Too many variations from different TNB officers. To be updated once a proper picture is obtained.

I've done my Change Of Tenancy today at TNB office. A tips from above, skip the step 3, no need purchase 'Stem Hasil' from post office, directly go LHDN, paid and they stamp on application form for you. Another warm tips, fill up the forms obtain from TNB before apply for stamp at LHDN ( I've submitted in blank form and had to filled up while at LHDN counter )

I also just did mine too. Which LHDN office did you goto ?

The LHDN officer in Kota Damansara said there are 2 options to stamp it :

1) Buy Hasil stamp from post office, then goto LHDN's counter and stamp (LHDN does not sell stamps)
2) Goto LHDN and use the machine to do stamping. The machine only operates in the morning till afternoon. No need to purchase stamp beforehand.


Another tip. You need to goto the TNB at where the property address is registered (e.g. if Bangi goto TNB Bangi. Cannot do this in TNB HQ ).

Sooo troublesome to change name on TNB and Syabas...

Question : What if you just use the existing name? ie. previous owner? Will there be any impact?

Instead of moving forward, Msia is moving backwards.
The trouble for application is very frustrating.... Technically u need to go 2-3 places to get a things done....
Now I pay ppl to do it already....

I just bought an apartment, i would also like to know if the previous owner didn't go do any termination of tnb n syabas, can i just con't using it juz by paying the bill every month? Will it have any problem in the future? Or wait until problem comes then only go do the transfer?

just chane to your name la....the real new owner feeling

tnb:
1. go to tnb ask for form and procedures
2. beli setem hasil
3. lhdn matikan stem
4. go back to tnb

water :
if apartment, change waterbill name at management office

iwk :

email S&P pages that relevant and ask them to change

where to potong tnb n syabas for cheras - bandar damai perdana area ??

Yes u can do that....until one day the previous owner cut the water n tnb....then it will take few days to connect it back!!!!

I c....hm...then i'll go change when i get the key lo....tq

Just went to change the ownership to my name at TNB this morning, I had called the Customer Careline yesterday to double confirm about the Stamp Duty/Setem Hasil, we consumer DO NOT have to pay for stamp duty for AKUJANJI anymore. According to the Careline, they had cancelled it 2 days ago (29th Oct).

But not all the outlets are informed about this, like my case. I went this morning and told the staff exactly what the Careline said but he said don't believe what the Careline said coz they don't know much about this...??!! So i said who should I believe since there are 2 versions of the procedure, so I insist him to find out from their superior and there, the top management confirmed that we don't have to pay stamp duty for AKUNJANJI anymore. But we still have to pay RM10 stamp duty for the change of ownership.


So the steps to change the ownership/name:

1) Prepare a photocopy of your IC and a photocopy of your Sales and Purchase Agreement (only important page like names, unit address and signatures)
2) Go to designated TNB Outlet for your premise (call the Careline if you're not sure where)
3) Obtain the form to change name
4) Fill in on the spot and go to the counter to get number to begin the process
** Do prepare money for the deposit/cagaran, RM10 stamp duty for TNB and RM3 processing fee.

Remember, insist the staff to find out from their superior if they're not aware of this new procedure. Otherwise, they will send you to get the stamp duty and go to LHDN to sealed the stamp duty before you can go back to TNB to change your name.

Hope this help save the trouble of going to TNB TWICE!

Hello there,

For the TNB + SYABAS.

Let's say if I want to change the owner name to new owner, Is it the new owner must be there? Or we can just take the photocopy of the new onwer IC?

Thanks for the reply

New owner will have to be present together with his Photostat IC, a copy of S&P and that's it.

Oh okay, thanks for the information

Most welcome. Just got mine changed recently. Whole process took me less than 10 minutes. Do remember to bring cash of RM240 (deposit) + RM10 (Stamp Duty) + RM3 (Processing Fee). And remember to bring previous TNB Bill to verify on the Account Number.

Oh thanks again.

But how about Syabas?

Same procedures. But they only request RM70 as deposit.

Okay

Hi, anyone know how long tnb and syabas take to transfer ownership?

Currently renovating my house if they cut my electric for long time then my reno will be delayed.

Anyone who has experience pls let me know.tq

Hi everyone.

Thought of sharing my experience yesterday when I went to TNB to change name from old owner to new owner. The TNB branch I went to is at UTC (Puduraya) as there is also an LHDN branch there.

1. Bring photocopy S&P, photocopy IC, and at least one electric bill/statement
2. Fill up form
3. Pay money at counter (This includes the RM10 stamp).

It appears that I do not need to go to LHDN to buy the stamp. Everything is done at the counter.

Plus points for UTC: opens until late (9pm or 10pm)
Minus points: infamous puduraya jam

Additional info: After checking the account, the TNB staff told me that the premises is using "commercial tariff" because it was previously registered to a company. If you purchase your property from a company (even though it is a residential property), you can ask them this question and this can save you from paying extra for electricity.

Hope this helps.

TQ for the info.

Question:-
a. For the S&P, photosate the whole document of S&P or just the front pages?
b. Then the Electric bill/statement is in old owner's name?

a. I cannot remember which pages exactly they took because I photocopy the whole S&P. TNB only took a few of the pages.

b. Yes, you need the old bill with the old owner's name. Just get the TNB personnel to print.

So did you change it from commercial to residential tariff?

Haven't

For (b), if I do not have the old bill from the previous owner I can ask the TNB personnel to print one for me at the office on the spot?

I do have a copy of the bill at the moment, but I do have the TNB account number. If I do not need to obtain a physical copy of the bill then I might save the hassle.

I suppose you just bought a property and want to transfer the name from old owner to yourself? If yes, just bring your photocopy S&P to TNB, tell them that you wanted to transfer name because you are the new owner. They will give you a form to fill up, take the a few important pages from your photocopy S&P, and they will print out the electric bill from their system. Note: any outstanding amount from current owner must be settled before they can allow this transfer.

if the supply is already running the change of ownership will be quite fast.1 day onli.

the hassle is when the electricity or water is cut edi. longer down time to reconnect the fuse etc.

but yeah if its already there its just a change in the system actually.

Good day, UTC ( Puduraya ) has both TNB and LHDN?

From what I read on the forum, it states that for change of ownership of electric of subsale house, I can just go to UTC ( Puduraya ) to do this TNB? I heard some of them said something you need to go back to your designated area ?

1) So, from my understanding, nowadays its more convenient, let say my Cheras house, I can also go to UTC?
Bring along IC, photocopy IC, S&P, photocopy S&P,
previous owner bill ( I ask TNB to print for me can ? )

2) After this, do I go to buy setem hasil ( or now no need already? ) and go to LHDN to matikan it or smth ( I heard some of the forummers talk about this )

3) Settle the bill? ( Do we need to pay for outstanding of previous owner? )

If about water bill and indah water, how do we proceed from here? Any place should we go?

Thanks for all the reply, in some confused mode right now cause some of the info is quite old and I am not so sure of the validity as for the newer process, thanks a bunch =)

has the form being updated? can we still use the one uploaded here?

hi all,

I just sold my house, but the TNB and water bill is under my father's name (already pass away).

What document I need to terminate the electric and water and get back the deposit money, before I pass the key to new owner ?

death certificate.

need to show them the original death cert? Or photocopy will do ?

better bring original and copy. sometime they need to certify true copy.

I was told that once we submit for electric termination (becoz selling house), the TNB will find another day to go to our house to take out the meter. How hassle is that as we need to spare another working day (mon-fri) just to go open the door and let them take the meter ? (meter is inside the house, old house)

Can we let the new owner do the electric account transfer ? I mean I clear the all outstanding balance, then pass on to the new owner (just there is risk new owner did not do the name transfer, and the electric charges is still count on my name).

Just need to vent my frustration here. Now in syabas office, trying to change name. Very very very slow like hell!!!! From 1pm need to wait until 3.24pm haiyaaaa zzzzz..... Ok bye.

do u need to pay for the deposit?
