Common Questions from Buyers & Sellers
Need help with buying, selling, or legal matters? These answers might help you start with confidence.
To purchase a property, you’ll need a copy of your IC (identity card), proof of income (like payslips or tax returns), latest EPF statement or bank statements, and your letter of offer or booking form. Foreign buyers may also need a valid passport and approval from the state authority.
Yes, foreigners can buy property in Malaysia, but there are minimum price thresholds which vary by state. For example, in Johor, foreigners can only buy properties priced above RM1 million. Some property types like Malay Reserved Land and low-cost housing are not allowed for foreign ownership.
Built-up area refers to the total floor space within the house, including walls and interior structures. Land area is the total size of the land plot the property sits on, which may include the house, garden, car porch, and open space.
A typical property purchase in Malaysia takes about 3 to 4 months, depending on factors such as loan approval, legal checks, and title transfer procedures.
The main tax is Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT). The rate depends on how long you’ve owned the property and your residency status. Additional legal and agent fees may also apply.
