Perfection of Transfer

A property purchase may have been documented before the relevant individual or strata title was available. When later title documentation arises, the owner may need help understanding how it connects with the earlier transaction. Lim Wong & Partners assists with perfection of transfer.

The initial discussion should establish the current title position, the earlier purchase documents and the people or organisations involved. An outstanding financing arrangement or a later change in ownership may add documents to the picture. A complete transaction history is more useful than approaching the matter as a stand-alone form.

Look for the original sale agreement, assignments, financing documents and any notice from the developer or other relevant party. Identify whether the details in a recent notice match the purchaser and property particulars in your existing records. Flag any missing document or change in personal or company particulars.

• ✓The sale and purchase agreement, related assignments and documents from later dealings with the property.
• ✓Available title information and correspondence requesting transfer or related documentation.
• ✓Existing loan or financing details, the parties’ particulars and a short chronology of the purchase.
