Standard fees for property purchase.

Many thanks for the information. I see no mention of any extra levy on that list.
The lawyer tells me that it is a government fee specifically raised for buyers with mm2h pass.

I will attend the lawyers office and demand to see the government account, if it exists. I will also be personally attending the land office in an attempt to ascertain where this has originated. It is just listed as a levy under disbursements. Copy to be posted.

Many thanks for your kind assistance.

Any word on the additional fee?

I will attend the lawyers office this week, and the land office to try to get more information.

I attended the land office today and eventually tracked down an official to explain the described levy.

I am informed that mm2h holders have to purchase the right to buy a property in perak.
The cost of the permission to buy the first property is set at RM10,000. For Any subsequent purchase the cost of the permission is RM15,000.

For landed property, or commercial property the cost is higher.

This is on top of stamp duty and several other registration fees. In my case the total bill is almost RM21,000.

I was not made aware of these costs previously and obviously find it somewhat difficult to accept.

Hope this assists others intending to purchase property in perak.
