Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a property purchase take to complete?

A straightforward sale and purchase can complete within a few months, though timelines depend on financing approval, whether the property is under strata or individual title, and any developer or bank requirements. We keep you updated at each stage so you know what to expect.

Is property law in Sarawak different from Peninsular Malaysia?

Yes. Sarawak land matters are governed by the Sarawak Land Code, which differs in several respects from the National Land Code applied in Peninsular Malaysia — including native customary rights land, which requires specific local expertise.

Do you handle developer sale and purchase agreements?

Yes. We review and advise on developer SPAs for residential and commercial units, including strata title matters, before you sign, and act for you through to completion and title transfer.

What costs are involved beyond your legal fees?

A property transaction typically also involves stamp duty and disbursements such as land search and registration fees. We set out the full cost breakdown upfront so there are no surprises.
