1) Hard to tell. Depends highly on the efficiency of the land office in question. I'd give it roughly 2-3 months at the soonest.
2) Can do back to back transfer. Then the only thing left in between is adjudication by LHDN. That won't take long nowadays. Fastest can be roughly 5 working days, and 10 working days latest.

PS: Is it too late for the developer to agree to do direct transfer of title to you? Furthermore, vendor does not have to pay stamp duty. See your luck if developer agrees or not.

hello, i need some information, may i noe if i interested in litigation part, which firm should i to go for chambering in kl? thanks

Civil, criminal, quasi-criminal, corporate - there's so many types of litigation. Which one are you interested in? Big firm, small firm? Expected salary? There's so many considerations that one cannot just pull a name out of the hat just like that

civil criminal also can, but prefer criminal, not big and small firm, most important is i can learn..thanks =)

Might as well go for civil-criminal, as you can still opt to go for civil if you later find that criminal practice is not your cup of tea.

Some recommended firms who do civil-criminal:

1. Karpal Singh & Co.
- criminal and general civil litigation.

2. Gobind Singh Deo & Co.
- criminal and general civil litigation

3. Wong Kian Keong
- white collar & quasi criminal and general civil litigation

4. Kuldip & Co.
- criminal and civil litigation, specialising in accident (runner) cases.

5. Jagjit Singh & Co.
- criminal and civil litigation, specialising in accident (runner) cases.

6. Suresh Thanabalasingham
- criminal, specialising in habeas corpus for ISA and EO cases and a bit of civil general litigation.

7. Rao & Kamal
- criminal and civil litigation, specialising in accident (runner) cases.

That's basically what I can come up with at this moment. At all the above firms, I believe that you can really learn a lot during your 9 months' chambering period.

Good luck

May I　know how to check via website whether the developer is registered with Housing and Local Ministry ?

Thanks .

Hi Dariofoo,
I going to sell off my apartment since i can't afford it anymore and i already got buyer for it.

When asking for the settlement amount, they told me RM98K and it can't discount anymore.
They said if i pay cash then i will get a discounted amount (not selling the house to others).

1) May i know is there any possibilities to reduce the amount if i sell the house? (write in or appeal or anything) Currently i have bank loan outstanding for rm7k with bank.

2) I have maintenance fees outstanding for rm15k. Can write in to them for a discount to settle all this amount?

Please help or provide me solutions. Because the selling price now not giving me much profit is didn't get discounts.

Thank you very much.


P/s: I'm helping a friend to ask.

1) I doubt if writing in or appealing will change anything as the bank will create an unwanted precedent whereby all those who can't afford their repayments will start writing in and 'appealing' for more time.

2) Same as above. I doubt if the management office will budge on that.

I'd advise you to refinance, but looking at the 7k outstanding and more importantly, the 15k outstanding maintenance fees is a great hindrance. The bank will insist for that to be settled first before anything.

Same goes when you're selling the house as well - the purchaser will insist that you settle all maintenance fees first. If it is a small amount sometimes the purchaser can pay first and then contra from the balance purchase price, but in your case as the amount is too high.

I knew someone who was in almost the same situation as this. In the end he just moved out and let the bank auction off the property.

dariofoo,

I have just contacted my purchaser's lawyer to enquire about update on the final redeemption, and the lawyer told me that it will be done soon but the process seems slow 'cuz it's already 2 months and I don't see progress. I still have another month to go before reaching 3 months after signing the SPA. So I am worried if anything goes wrong or delayed, I might be charged 8% for the additional 1 month ('cuz the SPA stated 3 + 1 months, and the additional month will be charged 8%).

How is this 8% charged? Is it to me (vendor) or to the purchaser or to the bank (occumbrance)?

Also another question related to submitting the latest Cukai Pintu and also settling other bills (TNB, Water); do I need to personally go to TNB and request to cancel off my TNB and also for the Water from SYABAS myself? Or you would advise me to let the purchaser cancel off my name and register his own name for TNB and SYABAS?

If you're vendor, and there's delay by purchaser, it is the purchaser who has to pay you the late penalty interest. Just make sure that everything on your side has been complied with, including settlement of any outgoings like quit rent, maintenance fees (if any) and assessment - give all receipts to the purchaser's solicitors. If you delay on that, the completion date is extended - and any delay on the part of the purchaser will contra with your delay.

With regard to TNB and water - it depends on you. Some people just terminate their accounts while others do a change of name and deposit. Check with the purchaser on how he wants to go about it. See which is the easier way for both parties. It's a matter of common understanding between the parties. Nothing legal about it.

Thanks! For now I just need to give the assessment for the next half the year. Lucky I called and find out, if not I will be the person who delayed the process.

Bro, wonder what is the process like for the purchase of freehold, strata title condo in KL when vendor had fully settled his loan. How long does the transfer process take place? Can share? TQ.

very unfortunately, the developer does not agree to do direct transfer. I think I have to wait until owner to get his name owner first and only he can transfer to me, right? if it is then I have to wait at least one year to get my name on it

Help me, i have just received this NOTIS KENYATAAN PINDAAN SENARAI NILAIAN. What is this? I haven't even moved in yet!
