Foreign Ownership Rules

Foreigners may purchase property in Malaysia subject to state and federal rules. Common requirements include minimum price thresholds (which vary by state), restrictions on certain land types, and approval in some cases. We help you stay compliant and choose properties that are open to foreign ownership.

Leasehold and freehold options are available; eligibility depends on the project and state. Our team can outline what applies to your target area and property type.

Process for International Buyers

  1. 1. Research & budget — Define your budget and preferred location or asset type.
  2. 2. Legal & agent — Engage a lawyer and work with us for property selection and coordination.
  3. 3. Property selection — We shortlist options that meet your criteria and foreign-buyer eligibility.
  4. 4. Offer & due diligence — Submit offer; lawyer handles SPA and checks.
  5. 5. Financing — If you need a loan, we can point you to banks that lend to foreigners where applicable.
  6. 6. Completion — Signing, stamping, and handover. We stay with you until keys.

Tax & Costs

Costs typically include stamp duty (on transfer and loan), legal fees, and possibly RPGT (Real Property Gains Tax) on disposal. Rates and exemptions depend on your status and timing. Our team can outline estimated costs for your situation — get in touch for a tailored overview.
