Checklist
Transfer-day checklist
Reviewed 18 July 2026
The transfer is registered at the Land Department. A held-up transfer is almost always a missing document or a fee split that was not agreed in advance. This is what to settle before the day and carry on it.
Confirm in advance
- The date and the Land Department office.
- Who pays which cost — transfer fee, specific business tax or stamp duty, withholding — in writing.
- The funds you owe, and cashier's cheques drawn as agreed.
- A notarised power of attorney if you cannot attend in person.
Bring on the day
- Passport and copies.
- The FET document (for a foreign freehold purchase).
- The reservation or sale agreement.
- The juristic person's debt-free letter, issued close to the date.
After registration
- Check the unit title deed is issued in the correct name.
- Collect the registered documents and keys, and register with the juristic person for billing.
Using this resource
- Value-based fees are charged on the Land Department's appraised value, which is not the price you agreed. Confirm the figures with whoever coordinates your transfer.
