You may check with the joint management body (JMB) of the apartment on the status of the issuance of the strata title.
The Strata Management Act 2013 (SMA 2013) and the Housing Development (Control and Licen­sing) (Amendment) Act 2012 (HDA) enforced on June 1, 2015, there should no longer be any developments completed prior to that date without strata titles. Act 318 applies to all kinds of properties, whether housing or commercial.
With the statutory provisions that govern the execution, completion and registration of transfer of strata titles and penal sanctions for contravention, there should not be any more excuses to pander to errant developers and their directors.
The National House Buyers Association (HBA) advised via an article dated Nov 28, 2015 that under the revised definition of “developer” (which includes liquidators under the HDA and SMA), the developer, including the liquidator for existing buildings, must apply for strata titles within three months after the enforcement date to avoid being prosecuted.
