Buying property before individual title issues means there is nothing to transfer on a register. The interest passes by assignment under the master title.
If the assignment chain is broken, if the developer's consent was never obtained, or if the earlier assignment was never stamped, the buyer's position can be far weaker than they believe.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Legal That Works?
Legal That Works is a business and organisation oriented legal service designed by Messrs Akmal Saufi & Co (the firm that has brought the widely known legal consumer services brand ASCOLAW). We specifically help business owners and organisation leadership to navigate Malaysia’s legal terrain to achieve their commercial goal.
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.
Why is there no title to transfer?
Individual titles are often issued years after a development completes. Until then the interest passes by assignment.
Do we need the developer's consent?
Usually yes, and the requirement should be checked before completion rather than assumed.
What happens when individual title issues?
A transfer is then registered. The assignment documentation should provide for that step.
Who will be helping me?
