Transaction sequence

Verify before velocity

Confirm title or tenure, seller or developer authority, project and unit registration, NOCs, service-charge position and closing funds before commitment.

Commercial & retail

Operational fit comes first

Planning use, access, parking and loading, fit-out permissions, service capacity, visibility, lease economics and exit rights require asset-level review.
