For Buyers

KL Properties for Foreign Buyers

This selection is limited to projects with current evidence supporting foreign purchase. Final eligibility still depends on the selected unit, SPA price, title, restrictions, availability and State Authority consent.

Key Buying Tips

1

Understand State Consent

A non-citizen acquisition generally requires the relevant State Authority route. Ask your conveyancing lawyer to identify the authority, documents, SPA condition and transaction-specific timing.

2

Budget for 8% Stamp Duty

The 2026 fixed 8% measure is framed for residential homes transferred to non-citizens. Ask your lawyer to confirm the selected transaction's classification and current assessment.

3

Choose the Right Title Type

Commercial title does not create automatic foreign eligibility. Review the exact title, permitted use, utilities, HDA coverage and current land-office criteria.

4

Work With a Local Solicitor

A qualified Malaysian conveyancing solicitor is essential. They handle State Consent applications, verify title status, and ensure compliance with foreign ownership regulations.
