Below are the 3 screenshot of the sms. while the rest is just drama.

Hi Darifoo,

The following are stated in the developer's brochure of a undercon apartment in Johor Bahru. If one happens to buy a unit there, what are the restrictions if he intends to sell the unit after VP? Are these 'sekatan' common for a freehold property? Does it mean that if one intends to sell to a foreigner, he will have to seek approval from the state authority? Correct me if I am wrong, I always thought foreigner just need to pay something like levy to buy a property here.

a gift out of love and affection, i would deny that. as for gift out of love an affection, that the money i spend, and which of cause i am not asking for that. But this is money which i borrow, and if a person borrow money cause of love and affection, i guess he/she have the right to get back the money he/she borrow. correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks Dariofoo. With regard to clause no. 3, does it apply to all properties in Malaysia? Is it difficult to obtain the consent from the State Authority or it is a standard procedure? Thanks.

how much would it cost to get a lawyer to issue a legal letter or warrant to my tenant who refuse to pay rental for some time?

if my tenant still refuse to pay the rental even after issuing him a legal letter, what else can i do to make him move in a legal way? thanks.

Dario,

would appreciate some advice if you can. is there any stamp duty exemption for transfer of deceased property to the children?

Dear Dario,

I am just wondering, during the purchase of a house, who is actually responsible to transfer the name for the quit rent purposes? because when i checked with MPSJ, the previous vendor's name is still in the list, hence i cannot pay the quit rent for my property. when i contacted the vendor, she blamed it on the lawyer and offered to do nothing further. so i am just wondering how should i deal with this situation. Thank you.   

Hi Dario,

May I check with you for a sub sale leasehold condo with master title in K.L, how long does it take for a S&P lawyer to complete the process of transferring the ownership to the buyer? Let's say I am using the same lawyer for Loan agreement and seller did not appoint any lawyer.
I heard since it's a leasehold condo, the whole process can take more than 6 months. The state consent itself can take more than 3 months.
Does it take that long for the whole process as I heard leasehold transactions can be completed within 3 to 4 months?

Thank you.

Hello Dario,

I would like to know where should i proceed to get back my mom's house grant,via bank's panel lawyer or go to Land Office directly(which form need to fill up)?
Takes about 7 months to process@RM700+ with bank's lawyer.

Yes exactly,they told my mum that it takes 7 months to get back the grant.Just wonder that why it took so long.

Hi there. Recently I just bought a house and I signed the S&P agreement. 

While signing the last page of the agreement (with all the signatures from relevant parties) I only put my initial.  The lawyer said I should sign with my full signature... So I just crossed out my initial and put on my full signature beside it.

I just want to know if there is any problem if I crossed out my initial beside my full signature on the S&P agreement? Will it void the agreement? Thanks a lot.

No,i wonder too,how long it takes usually?
Delay from KL/Sel's Land Office perhaps?

Ok. Thanks.

I have seen the S&P agreement with all the signatures on it (stamp duty seen on the 1st page of the document). My initial has been crossed out but without the "chop bulat".

I checked with the lawyer, he said its fine as long as I have put on the full signature and both the name & IC is correct.

What is chop bulat?? Should I request for that stamp on my initial??

Thank you so much for your help.

hi Dario

pending completion of the house which is at its final leg (waiting for  final disbursement  from the purchaser's bank to seller's lawyer)
can the buyer terminate TNB and Syabas accounts ? 
rationale was that since no one was staying on the property, might as well do it and the buyer can apply for new accounts upon completion...

Thanks

gosh..sorry. ..my mistake .should have my kepala checked!

I meant can the SELLER terminate the electricity and water supplies first before completion since no one is in the premise..?

oops am the seller... 
I thought I will only inform the buyer upon completion to get the utilities reconnected under his name..

Thanks

How much can be save if SPA and Loan Agreement use same lawyer? Even Seller also share with the same lawyer...
Thanks.

I plan to buy this apartment unit, According to agent, the strata title has been issued but hasnt been transferred yet... and the developer doesnt approve a direct transfer to buyer. How long does it takes for the transfer to be completed to the existing owner? If the developer doesnt approve such direct transfer, this means I cant buy the unit until the transfer has been completed, right?

Another thing, can agent requests commission from buyer?
