Malaysia's advantages
EIGHT ADVANTAGES
The Malaysian government does not limit the number of properties foreigners can purchase, so owning multiple properties in Malaysia is permissible for self-residence or rental purposes without restriction. The only caveat is that foreigners are subject to a minimum total price limit for property acquisition, which varies by state. In addition to this, there are the following eight advantages:
01 /
Stable Rental Yield
For overseas property investors, return on investment is paramount. In recent years, Malaysian property prices have seen an average annual growth of 5% to 8%, with investment returns ranging from 6.2% to 7%, which is highly attractive. Rental yields in Kuala Lumpur’s city center can be as high as 6% to 8%. Properties closer to the Petronas Twin Towers command higher rental yields, with tenants primarily being expatriates and professionals residing locally.
02 /
Freehold Ownership of Land
Purchasing property in Malaysia grants land ownership, unlike in some countries where foreigners are only granted usage rights after purchasing property. However, Malaysian land titles are divided into two types: 1. Freehold, and 2. Leasehold. Although leasehold is not permanent, some developers offer lower prices and more amenities for leasehold properties to enhance their competitiveness, thereby increasing the property’s added value.
03 /
No Inheritance or Gift Tax
One of the main reasons Malaysian real estate is popular among investors is the absence of inheritance and gift taxes. Therefore, transferring property to children in the future will not incur taxes from the Malaysian government. However, it is important to note that while gifting property in Malaysia is tax-free, if the donor qualifies as a Taiwanese taxpayer, they must still declare the assets and pay taxes according to Taiwanese law.
04 /
Livable Environment
Malaysian housing prices are cheaper than in Taiwan. According to 2024 global housing price data from Numbeo, Malaysia’s house price-to-income ratio is 8.55, meaning the average Malaysian can afford a property in about 8.55 years. In contrast, Taiwan’s ratio is 19.47. Despite lower average incomes, Malaysians can purchase property in a shorter period, indicating a significant advantage in Malaysian housing prices.
05 /
High Building Plot Ratio
Malaysia has more relaxed restrictions on building plot ratios. The plot ratio refers to the ratio of the total floor area of a building to the land area. For example, Kuala Lumpur allows a plot ratio of up to 1000%, meaning 100 ping of land can accommodate a high-rise building with a total floor area of 1000 ping. This has led to numerous projects being constructed in Malaysia, increasing the housing supply and achieving price control through volume.
06 /
No Common Area Ratio
The common area ratio refers to the proportion of the registered floor area in a property title deed that is “not actually used by the owner.” In Malaysia, properties do not have a “common area ratio.” The floor area purchased on the title deed is the actual size of the property. Amenities such as community gyms, swimming pools, courtyards, or parking spaces are not included in the floor area calculation.
07 /
Foreigners Can Obtain Loans
If you require a loan for purchasing property in Malaysia, a few local Malaysian banks offer home loans to foreigners. However, the application conditions are relatively strict, and the loanable amount is smaller. The amount will be determined based on each individual’s credit report, with loanable amounts generally ranging from 50% to 70% of the total property price.
08 /
Infrastructure Improvement
Malaysia’s urbanization is developing rapidly, and investment in transportation infrastructure in Greater Kuala Lumpur is also increasing, such as the expansion of MRT Line 2 and LRT Line 3. Urban housing is also undergoing active renewal, including the 70-acre Tun Razak Exchange International Financial Centre and the 19.4-acre Bukit Bintang City Centre development project.
