can wan meh?? I thought can't be done...

Yes, you still have to pay lawyer fees even when it fails.

But you can appeal again many times, it is very troublesome.

Maybe you can ask dariofoo in the lawyer thread.

fees still need to pay according, the reject i hear is transfer failed. she also no idea about it. so please think twice before purchase.

one word: don't.

yes, i agree... dont waste your time and money. lawyers will advice you can, there are many ways.... but, i've tried twice. although successful... very costly and in the end, the effort and money is not really worth it.

if bumi wants to buy non bumi lot can eh?easy?

Friend.. you are living in Malaysia... You should not ask this question... Think yourself, do you think there a a barrier for bumi to do that?

From what I hear from a lawyer who did my S&P recently, he (non bumi) has managed to purchase a bumi lot landed property. I believe there are ways to circumvent the constraint. It's matter of whether it is worth the time & money....

freehold - 70% can be done
leasehold- 0%

For freehold property, most of the case can be done.

For leasehold property, if the last owner hold the property < 5years, it almost impossible unless the owner have a good reason to sell the property, can try to appeal from land office for approval. If the last owner hold the property > 5 years, most of the case can be done.

it can be done but transfer takes long time...did that for a unit nearby KLCC

How long it took you to transfer?
What I heard from a lawyer it is easier to transfer leasehold with commercial title rather than leasehold with residential title.

It is super high risk to buy bumi lot

Depend which stae of land office la.

I have experience buying from Bumi (Is it called Bumi Lot?)

The property is landed Leasehold in Selangor state in 2009, successful after 1st appeal. But took me more than 6 months just to get the land office consent.

Guess you should get experience lawyer to do the appeal for you (The lawyer need to write a long story to convince the land office that the owner seriously and urgently need to sell off the unit and need to provide lots of document to prove it). But need to be patient lah. hopefully my experience will give you guys some indicator that you should expect reject for the 1st application, but chance is always there for your appeal.

I see, mind PM me your lawyer? I might need to use it as well.

You mean 1st application sure fail ? Then second application, sure successful ?

Your lawyer so 'keng chau' ? PM your lawyer to me.
