High court auction is Non-LACA, means perfection of transfer already done. Means the title is under owner name, not developer name. Only developer title (LACA) have bumi/non-bumi issue, as it is a fulfillment quota needs by the developer.

Therefore everyone can bid for this unit unless it is malay reserved.

Any way to know how many bids already been placed (before the auction date)?

Thanks for the answer and sharing your valuable experience.
The properties is not under Malay reserved.

If I may, If I win this auction and subsequently decided to sell it in future, is there restriction that I must get consent from authority in future? Sorry I am not familiar but wish to buy this property for own stay.

Thanks bro

No restriction as for selling. But your potential future buyer will know that your property was coming from auction market. Because you need to give them a copy of your deed assignment/sales contract for them to apply loan. Some of them may not want to buy unit that was auction before.

Extra point to add is check whether the ex-owner is 1st hand buyer or 2nd/3rd hand buyer? If the ex-owner is not 1st hand buyer, means he already paid the MOT cost when purchasing via subsale. So you do not need to pay another MOT for him.

But if he is 1st hand buyer buying direct from developer, then no luck. You have to bear the MOT cost for him.
Important thing is to check first whether title already issued out or not. Next is to check whether developer allow direct transfer or not.

Then only enter to bid.

Many newly completed property VP with titles issued now. Is unlike older property where many years still stuck, worse if developer already gone inactive or bankrupt.

Auction unit case: current owner No.2  bought subsale  from owner No.1 and now his unit is up for auction.
Called developer and they say Strata Title issued but original owner No.1 never bothered to do strata title perfection n sold it off to owner No.2.

Question: So as a new bidder ( potential owner No.3 ) for this auction unit, do I need to do double transfer or just one direct transfer where developer direct transfer to bidder who won this auction?

something is wrong in this scenario.

Supposingly when owner  No2 bought the unit when the strata title was issued, owner 2 had to do the transfer title under his name in order to get loan to disburse to owner 1.

TO answer your question, ignoring's the werid part mentioned above, your agent need to ask developer whether can do direct transfer or not. If can, the will have some admin fee that you need to pay, if cannot direct transfers then need to do double transfer.

"as is where is" basic. The owner & tenants are able to claim it back before the money disbursement to the bank.

After that, before the unit was vacant (mean somebody stay inside even the money was disbursement), owner & tenants are able to claim it back also.

this is what my understanding lah haha.

Hi all sifu2 here,

got 1 question, if the auction unit we interested have TNB outstanding let's say 15K and TNB deposit paid by previous owner just 1k,

do we as the successful bidder have to pay to TNB remaining 14K?

or can directly change TNB to our name without paying single cents?

How is it possible to have $15K outstanding? Najib's apartment at Pavillion?

5 ACs perhaps, full blast 24/7, overdue for a year before TNB disconnected the electricity.
