i am going to purchase a condo, situation as below:

seller A = already done transferred the MOT strata title from developer
seller B = not yet done transferred the MOT strata title from developer

i know the cost of MOT transfer is about RM20k including stamp duty.

my question, if i buy from seller A, is it mean i no need to do the MOT Transfer and can save 20k??

mot strata?
if i remember, u cant get any loan if that house doesnt have strata

Every title transfer will require MOT.

For A, either:
1) dev -> A (MOT should be bear by A), wait few months, then A -> you (MOT bear by you)
or if the developer allow (A should go and ask)
2) dev -> you , with A request and developer agree to do this. Normally developer won't agree as this have potential fraud or hanky panky.

Summary: no matter buy from A or B, you still need to pay MOT.

thanks

seller A = already done transferred the MOT strata title from developer
seller B = not yet done transferred the MOT strata title from developer

in the case both above selling same price, who should i buy from? any different ? benefit?

Both will cost the same for you. However, B will need to wait longer before the title is transfered to your name. i.e. your S&P with B cannot proceed, until B's S&P with developer is done. Hence, additional cost for your rental, wait, etc.

Except from this, you may have other conditions as well such as unit location, floor, facing direction, internal quality, etc.

Not necessary. It can be done via direct transfer provided you get consent from developer.

Already stated in post #3 above. Most developers will not agree to this nowadays.

if with this option, i buy this house will take long time to get the key??
