The recent changes to Strata Titles Act 1985 which enforced towards all the new development to hand over VP together with strata title helps in this case.
Based on the latest amendment, developer is required to:-
(a) apply for the certificate of proposed strata plan to the Director of Survey within three (3) months from the date of issuance of the document that certifies the super structure stage (applicable to the case where the sale and purchase agreement of any parcel that takes place and the document that certifies the super structure stage is issued after the commencement of the Strata Titles (Amendment) Act 2013); and
(b) apply for subdivision of building or land within one (1) month from the date of issuance of the certificate of proposed strata plan.
So, With proper followup in the midst of the application, the strata title can be issue within 4 to 6 months. Depends on how the developer liaise with the authority..

So, with the issuance of strata title, then the issue of foreigner consent would be solved and no further issue for bank to disburse the loan. Anyhow, this scenario is not applicable to all the case. Its applicable to the case of my client as their foreigner buyer able to purchase with 50% cash so the margin of loan they need is only about 50%. Hence, during the stages of super structure which is normally about 30% of the progress, the developer can start to apply for the issuance of strata title already. So, the timing is around there which can match the disbursement of the other 50% loan from bank.

Thank you for the info. But this will be applicable to your case only due to 50% loan margin of finance and not to all cases. Anyway, good info.
