I'm buying 2nd hand house... It is leasehold landed property.... My loan application is approved and I signed the letter of offer from Bank for the loan... Also, I paid 2% earnest deposit to the vendor (direct deal with owner, no agent involved) nearly 1 mth ago.... Now, the problem is the vendor is yet to extract the house/ land title from land office... It has been taken 2-3 weeks for the vendor to do that before my lawyer can settle the S&P (this is wat my lawyer told me).... Worst is the vendor change lawyer 2 weeks ago and vendor told me that his lawyer already sent in doc to land office to extract the title... but, it will take at least 2 weeks to extract the title...
I dunno what can I do now as i also blur on the process and time normally taken as I'm first time buyer.... Anyone can advise? and pls advise me what I need to alert or concern about for the next step until i get the key and bcome the real owner of the house...

I think s&p should be signed before (and not after) home loan application. The bank will want to see the S&P.
Am I correct ?
pucman,
You must apply ur loan 1st before signing the S&P... You may just pay 2% earnest deposit and get offer of purchase to show to the Bank when applying loan (which u can ask lawyer to do for u), better make payment in front of lawyer which he/she will bcome ur witness for paying the deposit...

If you have a lawyer who gives you a good discount, then give him a bit of leeway loh....tolerate lah as they are a bit harder to find and they usually give discount to regular/repeat clients. If your lawyer is the type that does not give discount, then fire him stat.
In wat stage can we fire our lawyer? If he has started to send letter to the seller lawyer on requesting the doc... n he has help for doing the booking receipt... n actually we've paid RM300 to the lawyer as deposit for the legal fee... But, he always wan us to follow up... n he din give good discount also... can we still fire him? any charges if we change lawyer now?
