but is it normal to take that long, 1 and half year? my deposit is stuck here i could have used it to find other houses.. so far no s&p signed, it's just the banker called me saying loan no problem to approve but that's it.. im thinking to get refund for my deposit but i heard many stories agent unwilling to release the refund

I just purchased a property without strata title last month. Will be getting the keys soon. Title can wait. Once ready, my lawyer will kaotim. I can also sell the property without the title later.

Your lawyer will know what to do. Act on his advise. If he says terminate, then tell the agent. He has to refund you the money.

Some agents are not knowledgeable in property legal matters.

Not mistaken, got time frame like 90 or 120 days... impossible that it took more than 18 months unless there is something between buyer and seller, such as willing to wait for local authority's consent/approval. That is pretty common during MCO, land office tutup/ tak kerja, sanitization bla bla bla...

Look back into your signed papers, read every single line... surely got clause to protect buyer and seller..

the problem is the agent never inform me about this issue before i paid the deposit.. they said can settle in about 6 months.. after i paid deposit and submitted for bank loan only they inform me about the title issue
