Just reviving this thread again:

- Just put downpayment for a

Leasehold Condo
20 yrs old,
Strata Title
0ne owner, malay datuk

Just gave lawyers fees. lawyer did land search everything went well, all clear. Went ahead to submit letter of consent.

Suddenly now land office reject letter of consent, saying that the unit is bumi unit. My lawyers said it could be because developer must've done something internally with land office, but in the titlle itself, there was no where written that the unit is a bumi lot, even in owners previous S&P between developer also no indication its a bumi lot.

So now apparently we have to wait and ask the owners lawyers to approach the land office again with an appeal. From what i've read, if the condo already have enough bumi owners and have met the quota it shouldnt be a problem, and also its a 20 yr old condo, so old already.

Im absolutely pissed that this can happen, i work very hard, im a non bumi, i have two children, we've finally able to afford downpayment for this nice place, and would like to provide a nice home for our family, and we've been waiting so long to move, and now this happens. Can someone actually tell me if there is any chance of me getting this property now, I don't think its fair that they don't even indicate anywhere in the title or anywhere and let us proceed further to put in downpayment and pay legal fees and waste our time if at the end of the day they just gonna reject our purchase.

So what are my chances? Anyone had any experience with this.

thx

nobody?

thx bro! i find this funny tho how come my lawyers didnt encounter this when they did the land title search? can this actually happen? or is this a screw up on their part?

good reasons for appeal? waht kinda reasons?

thx for the help and info btw.

ah okies thx a lot for that news i really hope it goes tru tho, i just want a decent home for my kids.

im meeting my lawyer tomorrow, he doesnt seem to positive about it though, he actually wants to discuss if we actually want to appeal or not. dont think he's well knowledged like u forumers here.

the unit is actually quite rundown and under a divorce case for more than 7 yrs, in that time the cheating husband was utilizing this place wit the wife moved out elsewhere, the wife finally won the case and the title given to her, so she can kick the husband out and she's desperate to sell it off, very long story la. just thought can this be a good reason? since the owner is a datuk, she already got a lot of money, dun think she can pretend she needs to sell off house for medical reasons.

any other explanations can be given to the land office? when u said contact pejabat tanah and advise accordingly? shouldnt my lawyers know wat to do? i was thinking to tell the lawyer to get the number of bumi owners in that condo to show that theyve already have sufficient quotas.

any feedback or help on info would be greatly appreciated!

thx
