u sign the S&P doesnt mean property under ur name..

u need to fulfill the T&C in the SPA = payment of purchase price

once u paid full purchase price, then only the lawyer will go and do the title transfer to your name.

what ur lawyer said is correct, strata title sometimes 2-3 months and some places up to 6-9 months.

once u paid ur balance purchase price, ask the lawyer to give u a copy of the presentation receipt (which evidences the lawyer submitting the title to land office to transfer to ur name). From that presentation receipt u should be able to track the progress online. If the lawyer doesn't do that u can lodge report at bar council (of course u need to give the lawyer approx 1-2wks to go and do the registration la).
