Thanks for above wonderful answer.

But the link you give to us (i.e. http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/disciplinary_orders/), i dont know how i use it. I try select one person (i.e. Teh Beng Chneah) who has received a disciplinary orders before and search his name on the filter, that is nothing come out.

Please teach us how to check the person whether he has received a disciplinary order or not.
How long disciplinary order record will malaysia bar database will keep (e.g 2 years or 7 years). If the person has received a disciplinary order 10 years ago, where is the other way to search?

Can somebody advise me what to do..

you better check whether the lawyer name and firm in malaysia bar council or not. If not, bye bye then. The normal process for SAP is 3+1 months, if the bank want to count the penalty, that will be a lot of money you have to pay.

If i am wrong, pls correct me.

thak you for your reply.
Yes, i already check with bar council - the firm name is available.
I will go to see my lawyer this morning.
i want to punch her!

if not mistaken, underconstruction no need entry & withdrawal private caveat.

I have recently purchased a leasehold apartment. Inside my SPA, it stated the completion date is 90 days after the receive of confirmation letter from developer. The same lawyer is acting on both SPA and LA.

I get to know that completion date should be 3 months in the normal case, and will automatically be extended a month.

My question here is is the 3 months or 90 days period inclusive of public holidays and weekends?

What can I do if the lawyer set the completion date few weeks later than the receive date of the confirmation date?

What can I do if the lawyer trying to delay and not answering my question?

anyone can comment on the risks of paying a 20% deposit? thanks

I am looking for a S&P lawyer to handle my condo purchase in KL.
Anyone who has good experience with lawyers who specialize in S&P matters, please kindly PM me.
Thank you.

May I know the profit tax is charge on early 10% or 90% of payment?

Try calling Bar Council at the number provided for at the first page. Ask for Membership Department. Give the name and they'll check it for you. They'll have the database from day 1 itself.

That is an unusually long delay!

What you need to do now is this:
1. Prepare a letter directed to the firm - detailing the sequence of events from day 1 and what the lawyer has been doing (eg she off her HP, changed her HP number and refused to provide me her new number.. At the end of the letter, ask for a status update of your file.
2. Go directly to the law firm. Hand over the letter and get an acknowledgement chop;
3. Demand to have a photocopy of all correspondence (surat menyurat) from day 1 to date regarding the whole transaction;
4. Get an explanation from the lawyer as to what is the latest status;
5. If the explanation is not satisfactory, or there's no explanation whatsoever, go see another lawyer who is well-versed in litigation for a legal opinion with a view to file a complaint with the Advocates & Solicitors Disciplinary Board against the lawyer concerned.

* the website of the Board is on the last page of this thread, I think.

Don't delay any further and act fast.

Punching her won't solve the problem. Follow the advice rendered above. Good luck

Whiteminic:



Land search ought to be RM30-50
Bankruptcy search RM12/pax
Stamp duty on SD is RM10, not 18.
If same solicitor then transport RM180 X 2 = RM360 is quite pricey. Same goes for printing - RM80 x 2 - RM160, and Misc - RM50X2 = RM100. Total for disbursements is RM620.

Humble apologies,

That's as far as I can go tonight. All other queries shall be replied tmr.

Dead tired after long outstation trip.

Cheerios.

You are very helpful. Thanks for reply.

just quick questions

1) if i got rebate/discount offer by developer (eg. 10% so no need to pay down payment) does this shud be stated anywhere in my S&P (or any letter etc)? otherwise the default payment schedule ask me to pay 10% after S&P is signed.

2) can a developer charge a buyer with LPI if S&P yet to be signed?

tq..
