Bare in mind that buying houses is not lik picking up stuff you want to buy in a supermarket.
You need lawyer to help out in changes of name in deed titles.
Land office to certified and also maintain their records etc...
Buyer and seller would need their own lawyer to protect their own interest in this transactions.
Even if you pay in cash, the previous mortgage if not settled; your cash would be paid to redeem the property from the end financier which would again take time. i.e. settling of loans, digging up of the title deeds, settling with land office etc...

All in all, it's not an easy process.

Agreed that buying a house is not buying grocery stuff in supermarket. Serious investor make 100 over calls and visiting 60 over location before making decision to buy a unit. This is just one time job and the money will grow on it's own. No Pain No Gain.

um, i think the TS already bought the condo and is asking about the duration of time for the property to be officially called hers. not scouting around for houses to invest in.

anyway, it's typical to expect like 6 months to settle everything, new properties would be faster, second hand properties may be longer. from personal experience, it took me 9 months to land a second-hand property, calculated from the first day we contacted our respective lawyers. was frustrated with the long duration, but i can understand why it took so long, i can doze off reading all the paperworks. wink.gif

The moment u signed the S&P, there should be a clause which mention the duration given which u must settle the balance of purchase price. Usually 90 or 120 days.

As soon as the money reaches the seller's or bank's hand, doc signed & received, technically speaking, u are already the legal owner of the property. At this stage, the keys & possession to property should be handed to you.

as you buy by cash is more faster the process.........normally by cash will be settle in 2 months time.........start from you sign the s&p....
lawyer will send for stamping cost about 2 week..then execute the process.. another 1 month..so about two months will settle the case...
just remember to call the lawyer after one month to re-assure the process.
