Hi everyone...May i know as a first home buyer who purchase new project, do i entitle to 100% or 50% waive the MOT? Cause some agent told me yes, some told me no because it oly applicable to subsale house

Hi Danny, it depends on whether the developer applied to the government to waive for MOT. So some new projects would require you to pay and some will not. Drop me a pm if you have further questions

hi, what is the deadline to pay this MOT/MOC?

Hi all, may I know for MOT/MOC, must we go through the law firm set by the developer? Can we find our own lawyer to handle it? If is it possible, will there normally be any extra charges to switch to own lawyer?

For your information, this is for newly completed apartment which had gotten strata title and ready for MOT.

Hope someone can assist on this. Thank you.

I paid for my MOT 1 year+ ago and I rmb some of the residence were asking the same question, and a few actually went and gotten a quotation with another lawyer to handle the MOT matter.

As far as I rmb, it was more costly and time consuming as the new lawyer will need to get all the docs/info from the dev appointed lawyer and it ended up costing more...

Certain developers cover the MOT fees etc for you. Some will tell the lawyers to give you some discounts etc. Own lawyer is good but for the sake of convenience, some people just rely on the developer's lawyers

Not really an issue regarding MOT but it's on parcel rent.

I'd like to seek for your advice on my situation: I am in the midst of processing MOT with developer (after strata title was issued) and when I checked my outstanding parcel rent, I was surprised with the parcel rent late payment charged by land office. I further checked to the system and note that the registered ownership is still under the name of the developer - my understanding is because they're the one applying for the strate title to be issued hence it made sense for the ownership to be registered under their name, right?

So technically the land office will send the bill of parcel rent to them, and not myself, which explains why i am not getting the bill, hence not aware of the parcel rent that needs to be paid. What i was furious is that the developer never forwarded or notify me on the said bill, and the land office has charged us the late payment interest. I tried to seek clarification with developer on this, but their attitude is the worst i have seen tbh. Worst thing is the person in charge did not even know what is parcel rent and i have to explain to her LOL .... so my question is, I do have a right to get the developer to bear the late payment interest charges, right? While I can definitely pay for it my ownself, but then after being treated by the developer in a rude manner, I decided to hold them accountable for this....

Appreciate any advice on my situation here, thanks.

Well, you can claim from them all you want. Check with the tribunal if this falls under their jurisdiction.

I've not seen anyone claim for this yet (refunds of late payment interest etc.. yes but this type of dispute, no). No personal experience on your situation personally.

Worse come to worse, make the payment yourself if the amount is not too big. Then file complaints at kpkt with the relevant paperworks/emails.

If your house is under HOC, than MOT is 100% free !!!!!

Sorry, allow me to jump in.
I think those mainly purchased residential houses in 2016/2017, they will properly get the house in end of 2019/2020 (due to the delay of Covid 19 impact). After get the key (VP) in 2020, now is almost the time to get notification of MOT.

Now my scenario a bit different and would like to share with all.
I noted there were some buyers whom purchase the house 1st time and entitled for 50 % discount.
Since this is not my 1st house and have to settle the MOT.
** Remark: Latest information as under the budget 2020, government had given 100 % exemption of MOT for those 1st home buyers within 2020 to 2025

My lawyer send me some quotation of MOT.
Actually it called POT (Pefection of Transfer) and POC (Perfection of Charge)
Generally speaking, POT is regarding those lawyer fee, and POC is for those still under loan.

Just hope it help.

Not really. It's up till RM1m (or whichever is stated in the HOC - Can't remember if all HOCs are the same) The rest buyer have to fork out ya?

Just curious, if I were to buy a subsale property which is still under master title, during the SnP signing, i will have to pay the MOT right?
When the strata is ready, do I need to pay MOT again for the strata?

Does this mean paying the MOT twice?

Pay once.

Thanks for the info

I know the price of MOT is around RM10k+ right?
But I don't know the rough price for MOC, anyone knows that?

do you mean the stamp duty for MOT?
stamp duty is calculated based on your SPA price.
While MOC will be minimal as in RM10 each for stamping of the charge annexure + registration fees of RM120 with the land office. since stamp duty has been paid upon stamping the principal loan documents when lawyer advised bank for release.

I think the post is refering to stamp duty on principal loan agreement .... which RM5 per RM1,000 or 0.5% of loan sum.

i also the first home buyer what means that S&P ,MOT & MOC?

S&P = Sale and Purchase Agreement
MOT = Memorandum of Transfer. Its an instrument of transfer to register the purchaser as the new owner in the title.
MOC = Memorandum of Charge. Its a charge instrument created in favour of the bank against your property as a security for the loan provided.

MOT & MOC is applicable for property with title.

Hope it helps .
