FAQ
When does the conveyancing process start?
Usually, the conveyancing process starts from the time the buyer receives the Option to Purchase. However, we advise the buyer to engage a lawyer first to vet through the OTP before paying the 1% so that the terms of the contract can be identified and negotiated before the 1% commitment is made to purchase the OTP. This reduces any potential conflicts should there be discrepancies in the contract.
How long does the conveyancing process takes?
Usually between 10 to 12 weeks
Is it compulsory to engage a lawyer for conveyancing?
Yes, this is because for Singapore Land Authority (SLA) to register the legal documents, they have to be signed and duly certified by the buyer’s and seller’s lawyers.
