Messrs S. K. Song's involvement in real estate legal matters in Johor Bahru ranges from sale and purchase, perfection, discharge of charge, removal of caveat, transfer of land, boundary disputes, nuisance, trespass, related fraud, negligence and breach of contract. As a firm with five branch offices strategically located across Johor Bahru, we are well-positioned to handle property transactions throughout the region efficiently and at competitive rates.

Property transactions are often the most significant financial commitments individuals and businesses will make. Whether you are purchasing your first home, investing in commercial property, or dealing with a property dispute, having experienced legal representation is essential to protect your investment and ensure a smooth transaction. Our conveyancing team handles hundreds of property matters each year, giving us the expertise to anticipate and resolve issues before they become problems.

Sale & Purchase Agreements

We act for both purchasers and vendors in the sale and purchase of all types of property including residential, commercial, and industrial properties, as well as vacant land. Our services include reviewing and negotiating the sale and purchase agreement, conducting title searches and due diligence, advising on stamp duty and real property gains tax obligations, facilitating the transfer of ownership at the Land Office, and handling the entire completion process from start to finish.

Perfection of Title & Transfer of Land

For properties still held under master titles, we assist developers and individual owners in the process of perfection of title, which involves the issuance of individual or strata titles. We also handle the transfer of land ownership, whether by sale, gift, or inheritance, ensuring all legal requirements are met and the transfer is properly registered at the relevant Land Office.

Discharge of Charge & Financing

When a property has been fully paid off or refinanced, the existing charge on the title must be formally discharged. We act for borrowers in discharging existing bank charges and registering new charges with the Land Office. We also assist clients in understanding the legal implications of property financing, including the terms and conditions of loan agreements and charge documents.

Removal of Caveat

A caveat is a legal instrument that prevents the registration of any dealing on a property title. If a caveat has been lodged against your property, whether rightfully or wrongfully, it can prevent you from selling, transferring, or charging the property. We assist clients in removing unjustified caveats through court applications and advise on the proper use of caveats to protect legitimate interests in property.

Boundary Disputes & Property Litigation

Disputes between neighbours over boundary lines, encroachment, nuisance, and trespass are common in Johor Bahru's densely developed areas. We represent clients in negotiating boundary agreements, commissioning survey reports, and where necessary, pursuing or defending court proceedings to resolve property disputes. We also handle cases involving fraud in property transactions, professional negligence by other lawyers in conveyancing matters, and breaches of property-related contracts.
