You should've checked with the developer before bidding, not after. Developer normally won’t allow direct transfer in a lelong LACA case because legally the SPA is between developer and the original purchaser.

If they skip that step and transfer directly to you, the liability becomes unclear for defects, vacant possession issues, outstanding claims, and even compliance with HDA requirements. If anything goes wrong later, the developer may still be held responsible since your name was never part of the original SPA.

Making a phone call to confirm before pulling the trigger isn’t difficult. Don’t rely solely on what the agent says, at the end of the day, it’s your money and your responsibility.
