Our servicesFrequently asked questions
Practical answers for apartment buyers
What documents should I provide for a legal review before purchasing an apartment?
Provide the Option to Purchase or Sale & Purchase Agreement, title documents if available, seller’s ID and company documents if applicable, mortgage details, and any correspondence from your lender. These materials allow Solantra to assess encumbrances, conditions and potential legal risks early in the process.
How long does a typical conveyancing process take in Singapore?
The timeline varies depending on factors such as the complexity of title, lender processing time and whether the property is HDB or private. For straightforward private condominium transactions, a common timeframe from contract to completion is 8 to 12 weeks, subject to the parties’ agreed completion date and compliance with statutory requirements.
Will Solantra handle stamp duty and lodgement formalities?
Yes. We calculate applicable stamp duties, advise on payment timing and assist with lodgement to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore. We also prepare and lodge transfer documents with the relevant land registry authorities to effect the change of ownership.
Can Solantra assist with mortgage coordination and bank requirements?
We coordinate with your lender to ensure loan conditions are reflected in the Sale & Purchase agreement and to facilitate the completion process. Our role is to ensure the legal documents required by the bank are in place and to help reconcile timelines between funding and completion.
What happens if defects or undisclosed encumbrances are discovered pre-completion?
If material defects or undisclosed encumbrances emerge, Solantra will advise on negotiated remedies such as contract adjustments, holdbacks or further due diligence steps. We present options based on legal principles and commercial practicality so you can decide on the best course of action.
Why engage legal counsel early?
Early legal review uncovers title issues, clarifies contractual obligations and aligns expectations between buyer and seller. Solantra provides focused legal input before key commitments are made.
