Practical Advice for Property Matters
William Florence & Partners assists individuals, property owners, investors and businesses with a range of property and real estate matters. Our work includes transactions, land issues, property financing, tenancy matters and disputes.
We focus on understanding the legal and commercial circumstances behind each property matter. Every property file follows a structured, system-checked process: you know your costs first, the seller’s ownership is verified before you sign, and CKHT self-assessment is worked through with you before it is filed.
Property Matters: Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Looking for a Johor Bahru lawyer to handle your property transaction?
William, Florence & Partners is a Johor Bahru law firm (新山律师事务所) handling property sales and purchases, sub-sales, bank loan documentation, refinancing, transfers and CKHT for buyers, sellers and companies. We have offices in Larkin, Southkey and Skudai (Nusa Jaya Mas). Every property file follows a structured, system-checked process: you know your costs first, the seller’s ownership is checked before you sign, and CKHT self-assessment is worked through with you before filing.
Q2. How do you reduce mistakes in property documents?
Your details are entered once and carried into every document, which helps keep names, NRIC numbers, amounts and property details consistent across the sale and purchase agreement, loan documents and land office forms.
Reusing details helps consistency, but accuracy also depends on checking the first entry. Key particulars are checked against the land search, identity documents and the client’s own documents during due diligence. Where a discrepancy or missing detail is found, it is corrected against the source documents and checked again before the file moves to the next stage. Each check is signed off by name and date, and the lawyer in charge reviews the documents before they are signed or submitted.
Q3. Can I know the legal cost before I appoint you?
Yes. We work out the legal fees, stamp duty and disbursements for your sale, purchase, loan, refinancing, transfer or tenancy before you commit, so you know your costs first. Ask us for a quotation.
Q4. What checks do you carry out on the seller before I sign?
Our due diligence process includes checks on the seller and the property in every file, whichever side we act for. We search the title at the land office, compare the registered owner’s details against the seller’s identity documents, and check for any existing charge, caveat or restriction. If the seller is represented by another law firm, we still carry out our own checks rather than relying only on the other side’s confirmation. If anything looks unusual, we raise it with you before you sign.
Each property transaction file includes a due diligence attachment recording our checks of official records and the documents provided to us. These checks help reduce the risk of future issues with your property purchase
Q5. Do you help with CKHT (RPGT) self-assessment?
Yes. CKHT is now on self-assessment, so the seller and the buyer are each responsible for the figures they file and for filing on time.
Before anything is submitted, we key your details into our CKHT worksheet, which follows the same layout as the MyTax e-CKHT form. We then go through the worksheet with you, together with your supporting documents such as the sale and purchase agreement, the original purchase documents and receipts for allowable costs. Only after you have checked and confirmed the figures do we fill in and submit the actual form on MyTax. We also keep track of the 60-day filing deadline.
Q6.How does your property transaction process work, step by step?
- Quotation: we work out your legal fees, stamp duty and disbursements first, so you know your costs before you commit.
- Checks: we search the title, compare the seller’s details with the registered owner, and check for any existing loan, caveat or restriction.
- Documents: your details are entered once and used to prepare the sale and purchase agreement, loan documents and land office forms.
- CKHT: we go through the CKHT worksheet with you and your supporting documents before the actual form is filed.
- Completion: stamping, land office presentation and other key deadlines are tracked until the file is completed.
