FAQ
Malaysia property questions buyers ask first.
Quick answers for buyers comparing deposits, loan planning, foreign ownership, tenure, new launch booking and viewings with Lewis Chong.
Can foreigners buy property in Malaysia?
Foreign buyers can buy selected Malaysia properties, but minimum price thresholds and state consent rules vary by state. Confirm the current requirement before shortlisting.
Should I choose new launch or subsale?
New launch can offer packages and planning time, while subsale lets you inspect the actual unit and surroundings. The better choice depends on budget, timeline and risk comfort.
Is freehold always better than leasehold?
Freehold is attractive for long-term ownership, but leasehold can still be practical if location, price, layout and rental demand are stronger.
What should I check before booking a new launch?
Check nett price, rebates, loan package, layout, car park, maintenance fee estimate, completion date, developer track record and exit strategy.
