Commercial land is not a house purchase with bigger numbers. The title may carry express conditions restricting use. There may be a restriction in interest requiring state consent. There may be an existing charge, a caveat, or a tenant with rights nobody mentioned.
Deposits get paid on the strength of a booking form. Then the title search comes back and the property cannot lawfully be used for what the buyer intends, or consent is required from an authority that takes months to give it.
By then the deposit is at risk and the completion date is fixed against a condition nobody controls.
Commercial Sale and Purchase Agreement
Sale and purchase documentation for commercial, industrial and development property — covering title and encumbrance investigation, land use category and express conditions, required consents and approvals, the deposit and completion mechanism, apportionments, and what happens if a condition is not met.
Your Vision, Backed by the Right Legal Support
You build the business. We help you protect it.
Picture signing knowing the title is clean, the use is permitted, the consents required are identified with a realistic timeline, and the agreement says precisely what happens if any of it slips. Completion becomes a date in the diary rather than a source of anxiety.

Important: Limited Slots
Title problems are cheapest to find before the deposit is paid. Every day after that, they are the buyer's problem to solve rather than the seller's.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Legal That Works?
Legal That Works is a digital-first legal service designed by ASCO LAW (Messrs Akmal Saufi & Co) specifically for business owners and founders. We help you structure, grow, and protect your business through practical legal solutions—delivered fast, in plain English & Bahasa Malaysia, and with no office visit required.
What if I’m not sure what legal service I need?
No problem. Most business owners aren’t legal experts! Just reach out. Our team will guide you to the right service or help you understand your options—without jargon or upselling.
What if the land use category does not permit our intended use?
Conversion may be possible, but it is an application with its own timeline and no guaranteed outcome. Whether the agreement should be conditional on it is a decision to take before signing.
Does foreign ownership require approval?
Frequently yes, depending on the state, the property and the buyer. We will confirm the position for your specific transaction.
Who pays the stamp duty and legal fees?
That follows the agreement, and where the parties have not addressed it we will make sure the document does.
Can we buy the company that owns the property instead?
Sometimes that is the better structure, with different tax, liability and consent consequences. We will compare both routes for you.
What if there is an existing tenant?
Their rights may survive the sale. We will establish the position during title investigation and make sure the agreement deals with it.
Are your services affordable?
Our transparent fee structure means no billing surprises. Membership unlocks the best rates, but even one-off services are designed to be clear and competitive. You’ll always know what you pay.
Who will be helping me?
All our services are delivered by our licensed lawyers under the Malaysian Bar with proven experience across industries. You’ll work with a real legal team, not chatbots or generic customer support.
Is everything done online?
Yes. Our service is fully digital. You can consult, review documents, sign agreements, and access your files securely from anywhere. No office visit required unless you want to meet in person. No office visit is required. If you require us to attend at your office or outside meetings, additional charges will apply.
