Lawyer's fees are pretty much fixed by Solicitor's Remuneration Order (a guidelines for law firm fees) in Malaysia, can calculate here:

Except that if you employ same law firm as your representative law firm for SPA signing, the existing lawyer should only charge the buyer only 25% of their full-scale legal fees, per the Solicitors Remuneration Order.

If different lawyer, max is 50%.

Impossible to do without stamp duty. The stamp duty is what formalized the document and allow the transfer of your name to the title. Land Office will not process without the stamp duty paid.

Yes correct

Perfection of transfer=transfer your name to title, so you are owner of the individual/strata title

Perfection of charge=provide security to the bank that the title is charged in favor of the bank, so that they can take legal action if you don't pay the loan (you'll see under your name on the title there will be a clause saying that your property is charged to your financing bank)
