Delivery of Vacant Possession<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Delivery of Vacant Possession is when the property is ready to be handed to you. This will usually happen between 24 months to 36 months from when you made the initial down payment for the property, and signed the Sales and Purchase Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>By this time, construction work has ended and the building is complete and ready to be lived in. The only works remaining are usually some landscaping to the rest of the estate.<\/p>\n<p>When the property is about 70% completed, you will receive a letter from the developer to set a date when you can take Delivery of Vacant Possession. When the property is finally completed, you will need to turn up at their sales office to formally collect the property.<\/p>\n<p>On the same day you collect the property, you will also receive a copy of the Certificate of Completion and Compliance (CCC).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Certificate_of_Completion_and_Compliance\"><\/span>2. Certificate of Completion and Compliance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Formerly known as the Certificate of Fitness (CF), the CCC is a document released by the local authority council that declares a particular property is completed and safe to be occupied.\u00a0Also known as Borang F, Perakian Siap dan Pematuhan, this document is endorsed by a Registered member of the Malaysian Board of Architects.<\/p>\n<p>Legally speaking, the CCC is a requirement stated in the Sales and Purchase Agreement. So, when you take possession of the property, make sure that your house has already been granted a CCC.\u00a0An example of the CCC is shown below:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6239\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6239\" style=\"width: 429px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recomn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/CCC.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6239 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.recomn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/CCC-429x600.jpg\" alt=\"Example of Malaysian Certification of Completion and Compliance, endorsed by a Registered Architect.

Defect Liability Period<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Defect Liability Period can also be thought of as the &#8220;warranty&#8221; period. Homeowners will be given 18 to 24 months to check and report\u00a0any defects, poor workmanship or irregularities from Sales and Purchase Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s best to do a thorough check as soon as possible. The practical reason being that the house is empty and it&#8217;s easier to fix anything before you move in.<\/p>\n<p>The developer will usually provide a Defect Complaint Form that lists the common areas in the house. Use it to mark out any problems you find, such as loose electrical sockets, misaligned flooring, etc. Even if you think it&#8217;s a tiny little problem, mark it out for the developer to take a look. If you ignore it, you will have to bear the cost to fix it later on.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6243\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6243\" style=\"width: 428px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recomn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/defect-inspection-form.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6243 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.recomn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/defect-inspection-form-428x600.jpg\" alt=\"Defect Inspection Form after property handover\" width=\"428\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6243\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Defect Inspection Form after property handover (click to enlarge)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Get_the_contact_for_the_management_office\"><\/span>5.

Usually, the management will be selected by the developer, before the residential committee is set up. Get in touch with them for assistance on the monthly maintenance fees, sinking fund collection as well as the rules and regulation of the property.<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, when you sign the property handover form for a condominium, it will also include an invoice for the first 3 months of property maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Apply_for_utilities\"><\/span>6.
