I thought before you bid your agent would have already briefed you on this? Unless you DIY and omitted to do your due diligence

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.

Developer adjust the strata title name also got some cost.
So if u mao direct transfer, then pay developer maybe 2k to 3k.. i dunno how much.. maybe 4k

Maybe u need to go management office to get some contact
I never done it, but my friend done it before in a lelong condo.

Better ask first only decide, not bid ad only ask, so u know how to do the budgeting
