Appreciate if any expert would check my process flow whether is correct or not.

Upon the agreement of agreed price by vendor/agent and purchaser:
1. Both sign Letter of Offer.
2. Purchaser pays 1-3% of earnest deposit to vendor/agent.
3. Purchaser applies for loan and engages solicitor to prepare S&P agreement within 14 days.
4. If loan approved, vendor and purchaser sign S&P agreement.
5. Purchaser pays the remaining % of earnest deposit to vendor/vendor's solicitor to make up the down payment. Down payment (10%) shall refer back the max loan (mostly 90%)approved by financier.
6. Purchaser's solicitor stamps the S&P at LHDN and pay stamp duty (MOT).
7. Purchaser's solicitor liaises with vendor's solicitor to settle the outstanding vendor's loan if any.
8. Purchaser's solicitor registers the stamped copy of S&P with land office.
9. Land office transfers the title to Purchaser.
10. Vacant possession of property.
11. Purchaser moves in.

The SPA can be signed within 14 - 21 days. Not necessary 14 days depending on whether its a local or foreigner purchaser. With foreigner purchaser, they will also need to apply for state consent. which could take up to 3 months then only after the consent is obtained then the 3 months provision period for loan payment starts.

Hi hi, want to ask this applied to freehold properties right? Then how about leasehold properties? Got any additional step?

for leasehold properties, some requires state/MB consent if u want to transfer ownership. check the title document. Vendor is responsible to get the consent. 

Oh I see, okay thanks! =D
