Most people all over the world have misunderstood the Conveyancing Lawyer, the Conveyancing Lawyer.
Or do not understand deeply,
They all think that the job of an industry transfer lawyer is to draft documents casually.
Then sign any name,
Then the house can be renamed in an instant.
In fact, industry transfer has a deep knowledge.
When the lawyer makes the payment for the client, regardless of whether it is a change of name for the client
Will do due diligence (Due Diligence).
The investigation part can cover several matters.


Lawyers start a transaction by making
a property right survey
(Land Search) in advance and investigating in detail the following: –Land Search , Chain of
Interest and Interest chain investigation
- Is the owner a legitimate owner, Register Proprietedor, whose name is registered on the title deed?
- Does the person who signed the contract match the name on the title deed and is there any risk of impersonating the owner?
- Did the owner trade on his own early on, without a lawyer, resulting in the name not being on the title deed?
- The ownership of the property is still registered under the name of the developer and there is no division of title deeds to the developer (Perfect of Transfer and Charge)?
- The estate is still registered in the name of the deceased, and the heirs are not in succession procedures (Transfer and Trasmission)?
- Did the owner lose the original title deed and obtain the Replacement of Title?
- If the owner has never obtained a title deed, is the heir to or otherwise the transfer record of the title to the plot inconsistent in the course of investigating its title chain (Chains of Benefit Interest), or is the original owner of the government grant or title to the property right until the current owner is not legal?
- If the owner does not acquire the title, the owner cannot present all the original contracts, i.e. Sale and Purchase Agreement, Deed of Receipt and Reassignment, Deed of Assignment?
* If the owner is found in the survey not to be registered in the title deed or cannot produce proof of title,
the owner does not have the legal capacity to sell his estate and no legal right to transfer title (no legal right to pass a good title). Property rights and restrictions on
investigations of Express Conditions and Restrictions of Interests

- The type of land, i.e. agricultural land, industrial and commercial land, or residential, If the agricultural land, the actual area of the transfer reaches a certain acre??

- Does the property have a bank mortgage (Charges),?
- Does the property have a third-party freezing order/lien (Private Caveat) that must be obtained by court order or negotiated with an interested party to lift the freeze? References can be made to https://www.bongandpartners.com.my/index.php?ws=latestnews&nid=84866;
- A court injunction?
- Is the land for example or illegal, or is it in arrears to the City Council’s house tax and has it been seized by the City Council?
When this happens, the
owner will not have the right to sell the property.
Lawyers will advise buyers
to make better decisions about whether to trade or not.
If the issue can be resolved or the parties can be eligible for ownership through a number of procedures, the lawyer will consult with the owner or the owner’s lawyer’s representative and draw up a conditional contract of sale (Conditional Agreement), which will be extended thereafter.
The transaction can only take place after the parties have met certain prerequisites (Conditions Reserves).
Until the prerequisites have been
reached,
the attorney will
also issue the escrow deposit, which will never be issued to the owner in the absence of any prerequisites.
If the prerequisites have been
agreed or the property has no problems,
a background check is followed by a background check before the transfer or bank loan is made: – Background Check
Background Check
- Does the owner have the right to sign the contract or authorize someone else to sign it (Power Attorney of)?
- whether the owner and the buyer are bankrupt or liquid.
- The developer confirms that the owner of the site is the owner?
- whether the developer is still alive and not in the hands of liquidators if no title deeds have been awarded;
- The property has not been subject to any land acquisition plan by the government.
- Does the owner pay for the developer’s house?
- Does the owner pay the land tax and other utilities?
- Are landlords owed maintenance, repair funds or indah Water?
- If the transaction is for the company, all directors or shareholders have voted to sign resolution authorizing the sale;
- Are directors and shareholders empowered by the articles of association to sign contracts?
- Is the company active and registered with the Companies Registry?
Upon completion
of the above investigation,
if the industry
does not have any property rights burden, the lawyer will carry out the transfer procedure, pay stamp duty, and carry out the registration procedure (Presentation).
The bank will also register the mortgage at the same time after receiving the lawyer’s due diligence
report.
Banks will not issue
bank loans to owners until they are properly registered.
Once the money has been made, the buyer will be able to take the keys. If the property has
a mortgage, the lawyer will ask the
owner’s bank for a list of arrears (redemption statement), and the buyer will pay the outstanding amount in accordance with the previous owner’s list in order to redeem the title deed, followed by a release proceedings (Discharge of Charge).
When the bank registers the mortgage, the remaining amount will be paid. In general,
a lawyer is like a scavenger in a transaction, removing any barriers that affect the buyer’s property rights so that the buyer can have peace of mind in the process of acquiring them.
