Does buying a shop or factory mean my proposed business use is permitted?
No. Check the land-use category, express title conditions, restrictions and planning or operating approvals for the intended activity. JPPH explains that land must be used according to its category and express conditions; a change may require an application and state premium. A bank's willingness to finance is not an operating licence or permission to change use.
What to do next
- Have a lawyer obtain current title and restriction information.
- Check the intended activity with the relevant land and local authorities.
- Confirm required approvals and their cost before an unconditional commitment.
Freehold, a shop sign or an existing occupier does not prove every use is lawful or transferable.

How many leasehold years remain, and can the lease be extended?
Use the expiry date in the official title/search, not the advertisement or last purchase date. Financing and resale considerations depend on the actual remaining term and lender criteria. Lease extension is a separate state-authority application; it is not automatic or included in the sale unless properly established.
What to do next
- Ask your solicitor to obtain the current title search and confirm expiry, restrictions and the exact property.
- Ask the intended lender how that remaining term affects its offer, valuation and permissible repayment period.
- If extension matters, verify eligibility, conditions and any premium directly with Perak land authorities before relying on it.
Do not assume a universal remaining-lease threshold, fixed premium or guaranteed extension. Get property-specific land-office and bank confirmation.

These are general explanations. An individual property, application or agreement still needs confirmation.
