Everything You Need To Know About The Memorandum Of Transfer (MOT) (2025) Everything You Need To Know About The Memorandum Of Transfer (MOT) (2025)

This article was updated on 19 June 2025. Purchasing a property, especially for first-time homebuyers, can be overwhelming with all the paperwork involved.Out of the many documents that enable the sale of a property, one of the most important is the Memorandum of Transfer (MOT). However, starting 1 July 2025, major changes to MOT fees and foreign buyer rates in Johor could cost you thousands more if you’re not prepared.In this post, we’ll outline everything you need to know about the MOT (Form 14A) and the upcoming updates so you can plan wisely.Understanding Memorandum of Transfer (MOT):1. What is a Memorandum of Transfer?2. What are the Stages Involved Before the Registration of MOT?3. What if the Individual or Strata Titles are Not Ready Yet at the Time of Purchase ?4. What are the Fees Associated with the MOT?5. When Do I Pay The Stamp Duty Fee For The Memorandum of Transfer?1. What is a Memorandum of Transfer?A Memorandum of Transfer (MOT) is a document that stipulates the transfer of ownership from the developer or seller to the buyer. The MOT consists of the details of the buyer, seller, and land title details for the state authorities’ reference. In short, this is the document that represents a significant step on your journey to becoming the legal owner of this property. Once this is duly registered with the relevant state authority, the property is officially yours! i. [Updated]: New MOT Registration Fees (Effective 1 July 2025)*Applies to properties valued above RM500,000Property ValueNew FeeRM500k–RM600kRM2,500RM600k–RM700kRM3,000RM700k–RM800kRM3,500RM800k–RM900kRM4,000RM900k–RM1 millionRM4,500Above RM1 millionRM4,500 + RM250 per additional RM50kii. [Updated]: Foreign Buyer Rates Also IncreasedForeign buyers purchasing property in Johor will face higher MOT charges, especially for residential and serviced apartments.Property TypeOld RateNew Rate (From 1 July 2025)Residential2% (min RM20,000)3% (min RM30,000)Commercial2%3%Serviced Apartment (<RM1mil)2%3% (min RM50,000)Industrial2%4%Note:Love & Affection Transfers: Remain at 2% (min RM20,000).Inheritance / Beneficiary Transfers: Still exempt.iii. [Updated]: Expanded Sales and Service Tax (SST) CoverageStarting 2025, the SST scope has expanded to include more service sectors. Providers must register if their taxable services exceed RM500,000 per year.Service TypeSST RateRental & Leasing8%Construction6%Financial Services8%Beauty Services8%Private Healthcare & Education6%Note: *Exemptions apply to Malaysians, OKU (Persons with Disabilities), selected B2B services, and other relief services.2. What are the Stages Involved Before the Registration of MOT?Before registering for the MOT, there are a few stages that a buyer needs to go through. i. Finding a suitable home loan and lawyerAs a buyer, it’s important that you find the best mortgage loan (in the event you need to finance your purchase of property) for you, and a lawyer is required to assist you in the whole transaction, including:Drafting the Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA)Loan documentsStamping of the relevant documentsFiling to LHDNApplication for state authority’s consent approval (if any)Registration of your new ownership with the relevant state authorityThe appointment of a representing lawyer is required by the banks and you don’t have to go through all the hassle and headache of documentation, especially if you’re in the dark about it. ii. Letter of Offer (LO)/Booking Form/Letter of Confirmation for SaleThis document is the first step in your property purchasing journey. This is the document that indicates the buyer’s desire to purchase and the seller’s willingness to sell. This letter accounts for the relevant furnishings that come with the property, the agreed selling price, the agreed earnest deposit, the timeframe on when the SPA should be signed and any other pre-agreed conditions between the buyer and the seller. iii. Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA)The SPA is an important document that lists down the terms and conditions of the sale and purchase transaction such as the timeframe of transfer, condition of the property’s title, ownership of the property, guarantees and warranties by the parties, as well as other terms relevant to the sale of the property. iv. Facility AgreementThe Facility Agreement is the main loan agreement that you sign with your bank to confirm your mortgage loan. This would be separate from the SPA and may require the involvement of a different lawyer. We recommend checking with your designated bank for their panel lawyer list before making an appointment.v. Memorandum of TransferFinally, you get to sign the Memorandum of Transfer (MOT), also known as Form 14A! The MOT is the official instrument for transferring ownership of the property on the title deed to your name. Upon successful registration of the MOT with the relevant state authority, a new title deed reflecting your ownership will be issued. This process legally confirms your ownership of the property. 3. What if the Individual or Strata Titles are Not Ready Yet at the Time of Purchase?In case the Master title has not been divided into individual title or strata title at the time of purchase, a Deed of Assignment (DOA) will be signed by the seller and buyer as a transfer of beneficial ownership.Kindly keep all the principal agreements that you have signed prior to the issuance of individual title or strata title as they served as the supporting proof of the transfer of beneficial ownership. Failure to keep the chain of beneficial ownership complete may result in failure of registration with the relevant state authority when the individual title or the strata title has been issued.Upon issuance of the individual title or strata title, both the seller and buyer would need to sign the MOT prepared by the lawyer.The MOT will then be registered with the relevant state authority.4. What are the Fees Associated with the MOT?As with everything, the MOT comes with a cost. Being one of the most important documents in the property purchase process, the MOT comes with an ad valorem stamp duty charge. The stamp duty is payable upon stamping of the MOT, which will happens before transfer of the title deeds to your name. Here’s a breakdown of the stamp duty fees due upon stamping of the MOT:House priceStamp duty feeFirst RM100,0001%The next RM400,000: RM100,001 - RM500,0002%RM500,001 - RM1,000,0003%RM1,000,001+4%Breakdown of the stamp duty feesTo paint a clearer picture of the calculation, let’s say a property was purchased at RM800,000. What will be the stamp duty fee imposed on the buyer? For the first RM100,000 = RM100,000 x 1% = RM1,000For the next RM400,000 = RM400,000 x 2% = RM8,000 For the remaining amount = RM300,000 x 3% = RM9,000 Total stamp duty imposed: RM1,000 + RM8,000 + RM9,000 = RM18,000 In this case, the buyer has to pay RM18,000 for the stamp duty. As evident, the stamp duty fee can be quite a hefty sum. Luckily, the government currently provides stamp duty exemption, which is also given for the transfer of property by way of love and affection, which will be briefly mentioned below.5. When Do I Pay The Stamp Duty Fee For The Memorandum of Transfer?In most cases, the MOT is prepared alongside the Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) and relevant loan documents when a bank loan is taken out to purchase a property.  However, it is important to note that if you are purchasing from a developer and the property is still under construction, the developer may not issue this MOT at the time of purchase until the land titles have been issued.The buyer is responsible for the stamp duty fee, and not the seller. If the stamp duty is not paid, the transfer of ownership cannot be executed. i. Property Transfer Between Family MembersAlthough it sounds romantic, the transfer of ownership of property between family members is legally recognized in Malaysia under the consideration of ‘love and affection’. In this case, stamp duty fees can either be partially or fully waived!Property transfers between spouses get to benefit from a 100% stamp duty exemption. Transfers between (i) parents and child, and (ii) grandparents and grandchild, are subject to a different exemption. The first RM1,000,000 of the property value is exempt from stamp duty, the remaining balance receives a 50% exemption.Unfortunately, there is no stamp duty exemption for transfers between siblings and/or relatives. The MOT is still required to be stamped and adjudicated in these cases, just as it would in a property purchase.  Learning about the Memorandum of Transfer can be a lot to take in, but once you’ve gone through the process, you’ll find that it’s simpler than you think.

Got a Kampung House? Here&#8217;s How to Turn It into a Money-Making Airbnb 2025  Got a Kampung House? Here’s How to Turn It into a Money-Making Airbnb 2025 

Instead of letting their kampung homes go to waste, more and more Malaysians are transforming them into charming Airbnb stays.  With the rising demand for slow travel and authentic cultural experiences, kampung stays offer a peaceful escape from city life.  This growing trend is especially popular among the younger generation, particularly Gen Z, who prefer something more unique, flexible, and affordable than a typical luxury hotel. Waking up to fresh air, scenic paddy fields, and the sounds of nature, this is exactly the kind of "real" Malaysian village experience many travellers today are looking for. If you’ve inherited a kampung house or own rural land that’s currently sitting idle, it could be the perfect opportunity to breathe new life into it.  Let’s dive into why this trend is booming, and why you might want to get in on it too. Turn Your Kampung House into Cash:1. Good to Preserve Family Heritage   2. New Income Stream for Rural Communities  3. Rising Demand for Local, Aesthetic & Authentic Escapes  4. Government Support & Tourism Campaigns  5. Tips to Turn Your Kampung to Airbnb  Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)1. Good to Preserve Family Heritage  Many Malaysian families have kampung homes passed down from grandparents or even great-grandparents.  These homes, often built on love and legacy, hold stories of the past but sadly, many are now empty or deteriorating due to urban migration.  But with the growing movement among younger Malaysians to preserve these meaningful spaces in creative and profitable ways. In fact, a survey by Airbnb found that 82% of Malaysians agree that short-term rental platforms help locals earn extra income. By turning them into Airbnb accommodations, owners can restore and protect the architecture, design, and memory of these traditional houses while still allowing them to serve a modern function. Why Turning your Kampung into Airbnb is a Good Idea: Restoration over demolition: Owners can renovate and maintain the original structure, preserving its charm and architecture. A tribute to ancestors: It becomes a way to honour family history while also making the space relevant for today’s use. Multi-generational connection: It allows younger family members to reconnect with their roots by visiting, hosting guests, or even managing the property. 2. New Income Stream for Rural Communities In the face of inflation and rising living costs, many Malaysians are looking for ways to generate additional income and turning idle kampung homes into Airbnb has proven to be a smart, low-barrier way to do it.  Especially in rural areas where job opportunities may be limited, a kampung Airbnb can bring in consistent earnings without requiring massive capital investment. From retirees to homemakers, even part-time hosts can benefit from renting out their homes during holidays, weekends, or school breaks.  In some cases, the earnings even help fund home maintenance or family events. Idle homes become active assets: Properties that would otherwise stay vacant now serve a purpose. Alternative income for retirees and homemakers: Hosting part-time or during school holidays can generate extra money without the need for full-time work. Long-term potential: For families who own more than one property, rural Airbnb listings can be part of a larger passive income strategy. 3. Rising Demand for Local, Aesthetic & Authentic Escapes Travellers today are searching for more than just a bed to sleep in. They’re craving authenticity.  As tourism evolves, there's a clear shift towards meaningful experiences, slow travel, and destinations with personality.  Kampung stays tick all those boxes. For city dwellers, kampung homes offer a nostalgic escape; for international guests, they offer rare glimpses into Malaysia’s traditional way of life.  These homes are not only peaceful and scenic, but often Instagram-worthy with their vintage décor, wooden stilts, and open spaces. Immersive experiences: Think homemade breakfasts, wooden verandas, coconut trees, and wildlife. Appeal to Gen Z and millennials: This generation prefers unique stays with photogenic aesthetics. Many actively avoid corporate hotels in favour of something "real". Urban families seeking weekend getaways: Parents are increasingly looking for quiet, safe retreats for their children, away from the hustle of KL or Penang. 4. Government Support & Tourism Campaigns It’s not just the people driving this trend, government bodies and tourism campaigns are actively supporting the movement.  Since the pandemic, local tourism has gained significant traction, with campaigns like Cuti-Cuti Malaysia and Malaysia Truly Asia encouraging citizens to explore their own backyard. This renewed focus on local heritage and community-based tourism means kampung homes are being seen as valuable assets in the national tourism landscape.  Some local councils even offer support through training sessions, homestay certifications, and promotional materials. “Cuti-Cuti Malaysia” and “Malaysia Truly Asia” campaigns encourage Malaysians to travel locally and rediscover hidden gems. Promotion of traditional lifestyles: More travellers are encouraged to explore rural parts of the country, especially post-pandemic when local travel gained popularity. Grant and training support: In some states, local councils and tourism boards provide workshops or minor financial assistance to boost rural homestays. 5. Tips to Turn Your Kampung to Airbnb You don’t need to spend hundreds of thousands of ringgits to get started.  Some of the most popular kampung stays keep their original structure and design because that’s exactly what people want: authenticity, not perfection.  Focus on basic comfort and a warm, welcoming vibe. The most successful listings are the ones that tell a story.  So, make yours stand out with thoughtful touches, a clear listing, and great photos. Even if you live far away, you can appoint someone local to help manage the place. How to Keep Your Airbnb Guest-Ready: Clean up and renovate where necessary: Ensure basic cleanliness, repaint walls, and fix any safety hazards. Keep the charm, modernise the essentials: Add necessities like fans, air-conditioning (if needed), proper toilets, and internet access. Decorate thoughtfully: Embrace a rustic or nostalgic theme. Think vintage tiles, batik tablecloths, or rattan furniture. Strong listings: Invest in good photos, write detailed and welcoming descriptions, and consider attractive seasonal pricing. Host with heart: Offer small extras like a welcome drink, breakfast, or even a short local tour.Turning kampung homes into Airbnbs is more than just a passing trend. It’s a beautiful blend of modern entrepreneurship and cultural preservation. What was once seen as old-fashioned is now celebrated. You’re not only generating income, but helping preserve a slice of Malaysia’s rural charm for others to experience and enjoy. Version: BMFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1. Why do guests prefer kampung Airbnb stays over hotels?  Because they’re personal, peaceful, and unique. Many guests want to "escape the city" and are drawn to kampung stays for the nature and simplicity. 2. Is it expensive to turn a kampung house into an Airbnb? Not necessarily. You can start with small improvements and build up over time. Most guests don’t expect luxury. Authenticity is what they’re paying for.3. Can I still use the house for my family when it's not booked?  Yes! Many hosts use a flexible calendar. You can block off family dates and only accept bookings during weekends, holidays, or special seasons. 4. What if I live far away or overseas?  You can partner with a co-host. Perhaps a neighbour, sibling, or trusted local, to manage check-ins, cleanings, and basic maintenance. Your kampung house could be your best investment!
