Hello
Would like to check how long it takes for Pejabat Tanah to issue the house title? My lawyer has submitted all docs since Jan 11 but until now it's still pending from Pejabat Tanah.
I don't feel comfortable as it takes too long. Is there any concern I should be aware of?
Many thanks in advance.

QUOTE(dariofoo @ Nov 2 2011, 11:28 PM) Such a long delay. This is quite unusual. Normally such long delays occur in cases where the land office misplaces the documents (am referring to the original title) and a replacement is being made. If there is a typo error and documents needs to be rectified, the delay would not stretch until 10 months. Hasn't your lawyer updated you at all?  Thank you for your reply. That's why I'm a bit concern now.. My lawyer said there are few cases pending like mine and they are chasing the land office every week. Is there anything I can do at my end?

QUOTE(dariofoo @ Nov 3 2011, 01:46 PM) What was the reason given for the delay? At your end? Some people get fed up with their lawyers and personally attend at the land office to see what's going on. Depends on whether you want to do so, but out of courtesy, you ought to inform your lawyer that you are going to do so.  No reason given for the delay. Everytime I called or sent email, the clerk will tell me that it's pending for land office endorsement, will let me know when it's ready. I did ask whether they went personally, but was told they can only meet up with the counter clerk, therefore can't do anything about it. I am wondering whether I should complain to HSBC on their panel lawyer to speed things up.
