Our Services
Three areas of property law practice
Each service is scoped, priced, and managed by a named partner. The scope and fee are set out in an engagement letter before work begins.
← Back to HomeOur Methodology
How we approach every property matter
The methodology at Tanah Partners is documentary. We begin by reading the title — not the summary, but the actual certificate of title and the registered instruments — and advising from what we find there rather than from assumptions about what the situation should be.
Each matter is structured in stages, with a defined output at the end of each stage and a check before we move to the next. This means that issues are identified in sequence rather than discovered at completion. When a question arises, it is answered in writing so there is a record of what was decided and why.
Review First
Title and documents reviewed before any instrument is prepared or executed.
Staged Process
Each matter proceeds in defined stages with a check at each before moving forward.
Written Record
All advice, status updates, and decisions are issued and confirmed in writing.
Completion Confirmed
Matters are closed with a written confirmation that registration is complete and documents are in order.

Service 02
Commercial Property & Leasing Transactions
Drafting and advisory on commercial leases, tenancy agreements for retail and office premises, and commercial property acquisitions. Engagement covers landlord-tenant negotiation, rent review mechanisms, renewal options, yielding-up clauses, and fitting-out arrangements. A named partner serves as the single point of contact throughout.
Typical Engagement Duration
Four to seven weeks for a standard commercial lease or tenancy agreement. Acquisition matters may take longer depending on due diligence findings and the financier's processing time.
Professional Fee
From RM 2,900
Scope confirmed in engagement letter before opening
Service 03
Title Disputes, Caveats & Land Office Proceedings
Representation in contested property matters including caveat applications and removals, boundary and encroachment disputes, strata-related disputes under the Strata Management Act 2013, and proceedings before the Land Administrator and the High Court. Matters are handled with a preference for negotiated resolution where the facts permit.
Our Dispute Approach
We begin every dispute matter with a review of the chain of title and supporting documents. The client receives a written merits assessment — including likely duration and estimated fee exposure — before any decision is made on how to proceed. Where a negotiated resolution is achievable, we pursue it before recommending contested proceedings.
Starting Fee
From RM 5,500
Scope and fee confirmed after initial document review
