Property Strata Title Transfer Process

Last Saturday, I went to sign Form 14A to transfer master title of my apartment from PKNS (developer) to my name.

So I asked the appointed lawyer on the process. She diligently explained it to me the process, estimated timeline and estimated fee.

I redraw the scribble on paper for me to understand more the process. Here is the outcome.

Overall process to transfer the strata title will take around 17 months.
There are 2 payments to be made. One is during the POT and second during the POC.

What are POC & POT are explained below.

There are 2 major processes:

  1.  Perfection of Transfer (POT) – to insert owner name into the strata title.  Estimated timeline is 9 – 10 months. The fee is calculated based on S&P price.
  2.  Perfection of Charge (POC) – to insert bank name into the strata title if the property still has loan on it. Estimated timeline is 4-5 months. The fee is calculated based on loan amount.

Required Documents

  1. S&P document
  2. DOA (deeds of assignment)
  3. Quit rents payment
  4. Owner’s IC

Required Clarification From Lawyer

After doing the process flow, I noticed few things that I don’t understand as listed below. I will get more clarification from the lawyer and will update my post accordingly.

  1.  From the process flow diagram – (7) / (8) bank direct to LHDN or via lawyer?
  2. From the process flow diagram – (9)/(10) LHDN direct to PTG or via Lawyer?
  3. From the process flow diagram – (9) what is adjudication for?
  4. Can use lawyer appointed by developer for bank to complete the POC?
  5. Fee calculation for POC & POT
