Legal fees & stamp duty, explained
Legal fees (Solicitors' Remuneration Order)
Legal fees for a Sale and Purchase Agreement, and separately for a Loan Agreement, use 1.25% on the first RM500,000 and 1% on the next RM7,000,000. The rate on the excess above RM7,500,000 is negotiable, subject to a maximum of 1%. The minimum fee is RM500. The estimate also shows SST separately.
Stamp duty on the Memorandum of Transfer
Stamp duty on the transfer of the property is charged at 1% on the first RM100,000, 2% on the next RM400,000, 3% on the next RM500,000, and 4% on anything above RM1,000,000. A separate, flat 0.5% duty applies on the loan agreement amount where financing is used.
First-time buyer relief
Eligible first-time Malaysian homebuyers may qualify for stamp duty relief on both the transfer and loan agreement, subject to the property value threshold and conditions in force at the time of purchase. Toggle the option above to see an illustrative saving.
