Common questions
How long does a conveyancing matter take in Johor?
A freehold transfer typically completes in three to four months. Leasehold titles need state consent, which usually adds six to twelve weeks.
Are conveyancing legal fees fixed in Malaysia?
Yes. They follow the statutory scale in the Solicitors' Remuneration Order 2023, so firms cannot undercut each other on the scale fee. On a RM500,000 property the SPA fee is about RM5,000.
Can I use a lawyer outside Johor Bahru?
Yes, but a local firm is often faster for dealings at the Johor land office. Every firm listed here is on the Malaysian Bar's roll.
