Say I want to buy a land with a single-storey bungalow on top of it, the house was bought from a developer 50 years ago without being given CF. The house has title. If I buy this property, the whole single-storey bungalow will have to be gone (demolished) and rebuilt into a 2 storey bungalow. My question is, will that be a problem that I will run into any issue rebuilding the house in the future. My lawyer told me without CF DBKL might now even approve a permit for demolition let alone rebuilding.
The following are my understanding :-1) Certificate of Fitness (CF) - this document is issued by local council to the developer upon completion of project in compliance with all the local authorities requirements ( Road & Drainage, TNB, IWK, Water Supply, Bomba, Telecommunication, Earthwork & etc). Before year 2007, it was known as CF. After year 2007, it is now known as Certificate of Completion & Compliance (CCC). Without the CF / CCC, the MOT or Land Title cannot be issued / completed, means there will be condition precedent ( CF / CCC is pre-requirement before the title can be issued).
2) If you intend to rebuild the house, you only need to engage a Architect to carry out the plan submission to the DBKL with your title. Demolition plan & new building approval is the scope to be carried out by the Architect/ Registered Drafter / C&S with PCPE. Look for the correct group of professional to give advise.
