Frequently asked questions

Provide the sale and purchase agreement if available, title search or land search extract, recent tax receipts, and any correspondence with the seller or agent. If the contract is not yet drafted, supply the property address, type of title and any known encumbrances so we can give preliminary guidance.

For standard residential transactions we typically deliver an initial due diligence summary within 3 business days after receiving key documents. Complex title issues or searches requiring third-party responses may extend the timeline; in such cases we provide a revised estimate and explain dependencies.

We can prepare negotiation strategy and scripts for you, and where requested act on your behalf in communications. Engagement terms are agreed before any direct negotiation. Every approach is documented with stepwise options and fallback positions based on prior case outcomes.

Fees are based on scope: a fixed fee for document review and a separate quoted fee for negotiation or representation. For full transaction coordination we provide a detailed proposal with deliverables and milestones. Estimates reference comparable past projects so you can assess value against likely outcomes.

We provide valuation context and funding implications as part of our transaction advisory, including sensitivity scenarios for different loan structures. For formal mortgage applications we work alongside your chosen lender or consultant to align the transaction timeline.

Post-closing we track outstanding registration steps, utility transfers and any agreed rectifications. You receive a checklist with responsible parties and expected timelines. In past cases this coordination reduced follow-up time and clarified liability for defects discovered after handover.

Our primary fieldwork and most case experience is in Sabah, with core operations in Sandakan. We support clients buying elsewhere in Malaysia through targeted local searches and vetted local partners when physical inspections or local filings are required.

We disclose any potential conflicts up front. If a prior relationship could affect impartiality, we propose alternatives, such as independent reviewers or a referral to another advisor. Transparency and documented consent guide our approach in every case.

Complete the case review form or email a brief summary and key documents. We will confirm receipt, outline next steps, and provide an engagement proposal. Typical first deliverable is a prioritised checklist and recommended immediate actions based on your scenario.
