Frequently asked questions
Practical answers for buyers initiating property transactions
What does a pre-offer assessment include?
A pre-offer assessment covers title tenure (freehold/leasehold), encumbrances, outstanding caveats or charges, basic local authority constraints and an outline of foreseeable transactional steps. The goal is to provide a concise risk profile so a buyer can determine a suitable offer range and negotiation priorities.
How long does full due diligence usually take?
Typical full due diligence ranges from 5 to 15 working days depending on complexity: strata properties require additional document retrieval and developer projects may need extended checks. Timelines depend on document availability and responses from third parties.
Can SoraTestate help with funding options?
Yes. We provide coordination with lenders to align due-diligence deliverables with lender requirements and can advise on documentation needed for loan approval, but final loan terms are determined by the lender following their assessment.
Do you represent the buyer in negotiations?
SoraTestate provides negotiation advice and prepares recommended contract amendments; direct negotiation on legal terms is conducted through the buyer’s solicitors. We work collaboratively with legal counsel to ensure clarity on transactional positions.
What fees should I expect for advisory services?
Fee structures depend on the engagement scope: fixed-fee pre-offer reports, package pricing for full due diligence and hourly or project fees for bespoke advisory. We provide a fee estimate after an initial scoping discussion.
How does SoraTestate ensure compliance with Malaysian property laws?
Our team follows standard statutory checks, liaises with registered solicitors as needed, and maintains up-to-date practice procedures aligned with land office and regulatory requirements. We identify areas requiring legal input and refer to qualified solicitors for statutory actions.
Can you assist overseas buyers?
Yes. We provide tailored advisory for non-resident buyers including documentation requirements, process timelines and coordination with local solicitors and agents to facilitate a managed transaction experience.
