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.       

Bro, Mind to PM me your lawyer office and contacts? need some help here...

wish to clarify
1. does there any laywer fees for the process of converting bumi to non-bumi?
2. if yes, does the fees is pay by house owner or buyer ?
3. will there any extra premium / penalty that will be incurred on the converting process ?
4. if yes, does the fees is pay by house owner or buyer ?

It depends you are buyer or seller.

1. Normally seller have to appoint a lawyer to write the letter to request to transfer from Bumi to Non Bumi, seller can do himself also.
2. Seller bear the cost of request to transfer to land office.
3. Not sure what you mean extra premium, normally no.

For my case, took 6 months to complete whole process as the seller does not have bank loan.  Else will be longer.  And it also depends on your luck even lawyer is efficient.  My next two door house not able to sell to non bumi even few non bumi buyer has tried before.  But me and my next door neighbor managed to get consent from land office

i am a buyer.
i read there is need to be mutual agreement between the buyer and seller to determine who is going to bear the cost of transfer

is it true ?

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.

Hi guys,

I'm a bumi owning a house in Selayang Point Condo. This is freehold owned more than 5 years. I'm selling my house, but I don't know if my unit is bumi lot or not. The management has no idea and the developer refuse to entertain. How do I confirm this?

Anyone able to help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I would say, if the buyer is buying at bumi price, then he need to pay for the transfer.
If the seller want to sell at non-bumi price because he think he can convert to non bumi, then he pay for the cost.

But really very complicate, so in the event cannot be done after appeal and few months, what happen to the earnest deposits/ booking fee?
really need to discuss between both seller and buyer.
