Who this is for

Sound familiar?

01

Owners whose individual title has issued but transfer never happened

02

Financed property owners needing the charge perfected

03

Parties registering a lease where the term requires it

04

Companies preparing property for sale or refinancing

What's at stake

What is really at stake

  1. 01
    Individual title issues years after a property is bought, and the transfer that should follow simply never happens.The owner holds an assignment and assumes that is enough.
  2. 02
    It is not. Until the transfer is perfected the owner is not the registered proprietor, which affects sale, refinancing and the ability to grant security.The same applies to unregistered charges and leases.

In plain words

Perfection of Transfer, Charge and Lease Registration (Form 14A / 16A / Borang 15A)

Perfection work — transfer of title on issuance of individual title, perfection of charge for financed properties, and registration of leases where the term requires it, including the statutory forms, consents, stamping and lodgement.

What good looks like

Imagine the register reflecting reality. Proprietor correct, charge registered, lease endorsed, and the property free to be sold, financed or leased without a title problem surfacing first.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Send a short request and Khalis will tell you plainly whether and how we can help.

Why do we need to perfect if we already own it?

Because until the transfer is registered you are not the registered proprietor, which limits what you can do with the property.

Is stamp duty payable again?

The treatment depends on the earlier transaction and its stamping. We will confirm the position.

How long does perfection take?

It depends on consents and the land office. We will give you an indication for your matter.
