Should I choose a new launch or a resale condo?
A developer purchase suits buyers who can work with the offered completion and payment terms. A completed resale unit lets you inspect the actual condition, but sale completion and possession still depend on the transaction. Neither route guarantees immediate rental income or future price growth.
| Compare | Developer offer | Resale unit |
|---|---|---|
| Unit information | Check the approved plan, specification and current quotation. | Inspect the actual unit and verify the sale documents. |
| Timing | Confirm completion and handover terms in writing. | Confirm possession, tenancy status and sale completion terms. |
| Furniture and condition | Check exactly what the package includes. | Agree the furniture inventory and any repairs. |
| Costs | Separate list price, rebates and costs paid by each party. | Include transaction costs, charges and refurbishment. |
Project guides and actual resale options
What should a developer quotation include?
Ask for the exact unit, built-up area, price, payment schedule, included items and the terms of each incentive. For applicable housing developments, check the developer and project records through KPKT TEDUH. This guide does not certify the licensing status of an individual project.
Foreign buyer eligibility is unit-specific
Do not infer eligibility or a price exemption from a Medini address alone. Check the exact property category, title or lease, current state requirements and any claimed exception against the transaction documents. Refer to Johor Land and Mines Office foreign acquisition guidance and the foreign buyer guide.
中文重点
新项目与二手房应按同一预算、户型及入住时间比较。发展商配套以书面报价为准;二手房需核实实际屋况、家具、租约及交屋安排。外国买家资格不能只凭 Medini 地址判断,应按具体单位与现行条款确认。
Questions people ask
Is every project advertised in Medini a new launch?
No. A project guide may cover a developer offer, completed units or resale options. Confirm the status of the exact unit before comparing it.
Do all developer packages include legal fees and stamp duty?
No. Read the current written quotation and package terms to establish which costs each party pays.
Will a resale unit generate rental income immediately?
Not necessarily. Confirm possession and any existing tenancy. A vacant unit requires a tenant and an agreed tenancy before it produces rent.
