The firm


Sixty-eight years on the same street.

Toh Theam Hock & Co was founded in Taiping in 1958 and has practised continuously from Perak ever since — through the transition to independence, the land reforms, and six decades of the state's property market.

That longevity is the firm's working advantage. Conveyancing in Perak is a matter of knowing the land offices, the developers and the bank officers personally. Files that stall elsewhere move here because someone at the firm has run the same transaction several hundred times before.

The practice today is led by four partners and spans conveyancing, banking and finance, corporate and commercial work, and family and estate matters. More than 50,000 clients have been served since the doors opened.

A quick estimate


Stamp duty calculator

MOT stamp duty (transfer)RM 0
Loan agreement stamp duty (0.5%)RM 0
Estimated totalRM 0

Indicative only, based on the standard 1–4% tiered scale and the RM500,000 first-time-buyer exemption. Higher-value transactions may still qualify for a partial exemption or relief under other schemes — this calculator doesn't cover those, so treat this as a starting point and speak to us for a firm figure specific to your transaction.
