Hi, I would like to ask these question on my mom's behalf. Thanks!

1. I am a successful bidder of a Apartment unit in Penang. I paid 5% to Auctioneer before bidding. After the becoming a successful bidder, I went to my lawyer to pay the remaining 95% of the auction price on the same day I bid. After paying the 95% to my lawyer, am I supposed or Allowed to lock or change the padlock of that apartment?


2. Whatever I see in that apartment such as movable furniture like cupboard, sofa set, dining table belongs to me?

3. Does all the fixed electrical item such as air-cond, ceiling fans belongs to me as well?

4. If the ex-owner wanted to remove EVERYTHING such as air-cond, fan, build-in cabinet, iron door (Gate or outside's door), including the movable and fixed furniture, Tiles (wth even the tiles don't belong to him) and leave cement and an EMPTY house for me. Does he has the right to do so since the I bought or Paid full price for the house before he even move all his furniture away? As I heard once you've paid everything, everything in the house, (occupiers) belongs to you unless the ex-owner moved everything away before you bought it?

The auction section is in the morning, and I make full or 95% payment to my lawyer by using Cash that afternoon after becoming the successful bidder . As you said, I still can't lock the door yet since I have to get some document signed, and during that document processing time, what if the ex-owner go into the house remove everything? Does the ex-owner have the right to remove everything in his house before my document is completely done? Or once his house is auctioned, then this means everything in the house belongs to the bank? Thank you so much for your reply.

And btw, since buying this house creates a lot a lot of problem for me, the ex-owner even threatened me to pay him more than 12k so that he won't remove anything from the house. But I don't think he has the right anymore according to you. I told him since buying his house creates me problem, I would want to forfeit and I rather waste my 5% money away to the bank and he threatened me not to forfeit. What should I do
