Malaysia is a growing real estate market, catching the eye of many discerning property
purchasers worldwide. It is a country that offers foreign investors low prices with
high-end potential growth. A haven for tourists seeking an exotic holiday destination
with high standards, Malaysia is also rich in culture with stunning natural beauty
for that perfect holiday location.
Today, Malaysia’s real estate market is taking on amazing dimensions. Thanks to
an impressive infrastructure, luxurious new real estate projects, easy living, affordable
prices and especially major new government directives aimed at transforming Malaysia
into a real estate hub. Malaysia has always offered some of the best investment
opportunities available in the worldwide property market.
Amid properties on sun-kissed islands, such as Langkawi and Redang, offering peace
with scenic beauty and easy access or be spoilt for choice with luxury properties
in the middle of urban areas such as Kuala Lumpur or Johor Bahru. The country has
also taken it a step further to ensure that foreign property investors, holiday
makers and expatriates alike, who fall in love with the country, find it an easy
and good place to invest in.
While properties per square metre are selling at a fraction of the cost of properties
in New York or London, it is the new directives in Malaysia which are attracting
an increasing numbers of home buyers. The stage is set - the government has introduced
a number of tax and legal initiatives aimed at easing the process of foreign property
investments. It is now focused at drawing foreign investors to buy residential units
in the high-end category.
There is full transparency in property transactions, a more effective land registry
and a unique way to settle in the country through the ‘Malaysia My Second Home’
program http://www.mm2h.com/ . Hence, foreign residents, with some guidance can
experience no tax on overseas income, no inheritance tax, no capital gains tax and
advantages on car import duties. It is also Malaysia’s aim to attract more foreign
investments and international home owners.
As such, we have initiated the ‘Real Estate Tourism’ as an additional platform for
people who have a collective interest in Malaysia as a destination and as a growing
real estate market.
