I'm also the one using the same lawyer. I'm 2nd hand buyer, due to the lawyer fee discount, lawyer insist to handle the loan document as well. So end up, buyer lawyer, seller lawyer and even my bank loan lawyer also handle by one lawyer.

The problem come, then. I got my key within 3 months, with start paying installement & etc. but lastly my lawyer said, Developer need a consent, which we haven't applied. Everyone keep saying, consent should be approved before bank release money, ya, but my case all handle by same lawyer, so....

Not sure is lucky or unlucky, lucky because i can get the key earlier (without waiting for consent to approve)
