Buying a Property: What Happens and What to Bring
What happens, step by step, and what to bring.
This guide is general information only and is not legal advice.
Before you sign anything
- Check that the seller is the registered owner (we will do a land search).
- If you need a loan, get an indication from your bank early.
- Paying an “earnest deposit” usually means you intend to proceed; ask us to review any booking form or offer letter first.
The main steps
- Instruct a lawyer and provide your documents.
- Searches and checks on the title.
- Sign the sale and purchase agreement and pay the deposit.
- Sign the loan documents (if financing).
- Consents and stamping.
- Payment of the balance and registration of the transfer.
- Receive the keys and your documents.
Checklist
- MyKad (all buyers)
- Booking form / offer letter and receipts
- Bank letter of offer (if any)
- Contact details of the seller or agent
