Strata Title Application-Valuable Tip from Land Survey Department, Melaka













I was informed by my boss that Land Survey Deparment (JUPEM), Melaka’s officials will do the checking on Jaymuda commercial Building on thursday morning. We are waiting for JUMP official for quite long especially the owners of these two commercial buildings.

The building was constructed more than 20 years but the owners still struggle of their strata title.

These commercial buildings is located at Jalan Munshi Abdullah, Melaka and well know as “Bank Street” if you are Melaka citizen because you can find most the bank at this area such as Maybank ank, Public Bank, Am Bank, Hong Leong, Bank Simpanan Nasional and a few insurances companies.

This is a great architect design where they design the building in cord shape and it is a tough task for me to do the strata because normally the unit is is rectangle shape. A lot effort has been put in to ensure the survey is well measured because it relate to the owner title. I took nearly 2 years to complete the project start from the approval individual lot and now to the individual strata title.

Today I’m not going to discuss what is Strata title but more to share with you all the benefit tips I gain during JUPEM official visit. Below are some comments from the officials:-
  1. Ensure that the lot boundary is away from building line especially the planter box and the roof where we usually omit it. According to Strata Act, a penalty will be fined for RM10 per each planted box for 25 years. Thus, be alert! This is an additional cost for the owner.
  2. Ensure that the individual building which enquired for strata application should be in a specify lot. One lot for one building.
  3. Area always is a big issue in strata application and many cases has been bought to high court. Always check with S & P agreement especially the party wall.
  4. The tolerance of the survey with approval plan is 100mm.
  5. Approval amendment plan is important document if there is a renovation.

Above tips from JUPEM should be useful for those involved in strata application and lastly, I wish the entire resident for lot 797 & 798 will get their title sooner.
