Metro Gardens @ Batu Gajah

5 things that actually separate Metro Gardens from other Batu Gajah terraces

Not a feature list. What the record shows, and what it does not.

The one published layout, on two floors

All 60 houses are the same double-storey terrace type on a 20′ x 70′ lot; the register gives a built-up range of 188–206 sq m, the larger figures being end and corner units.

Double-storey terrace — about 2,024–2,217 sq ft, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms

🛌 5 Bed🛁 4 Bathabout 2,024–2,217 sq ft20′ x 70′ land

Ground floor (pictured): car porch for two cars (Tempat Letak Kereta), living (Ruang Tamu) and dining (Ruang Makan) in one run, the staircase, a dry kitchen (Dapur Kering) and a separate wet kitchen (Dapur Basah) at the back, and a guest room (Bilik Tetamu) with a bathroom beside it. First floor (in the gallery): the master bedroom (Bilik Utama) at the front with its own bathroom and a small front terrace, bedrooms 1, 2 and 3, a family area (Ruang Atas) at the stair head, and two more bathrooms. The corner unit drawn on the plan adds a side terrace on both floors. The house is 46′ deep on the dimension lines, behind a 24′ porch.

Plans from the developer’s advertisement filed with the housing ministry; furniture is illustrative. The bedroom and bathroom count follows the register and the drawings; the advert’s own headline says 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

Metro Gardens in pictures

All images are from the developer’s advertisement filed with the housing ministry. The terrace row is an artist’s impression, which is not a representation of the finished building; the houses are now built — ask me for current photos.

Where Metro Gardens sits, and what is near it

Taman Metro Maya is on the north-east side of Batu Gajah, in Kinta district, reached from Persiaran BG Perdana 1 and Laluan BG Perdana 2 in Batu Gajah Perdana. The developer’s map places it between Pusing to the north-west, Lahat to the east and the Pengkalan industrial area to the south-east, with the Ipoh–Lumut Highway and Jalan Lahat to the north.

60 houses in Batu Gajah, completed with CCC — permitted from RM450,000

On the government housing register this scheme is entered as Taman Metro Maya, project code 9495-13; the developer’s brochure markets it as Metro Gardens, and its site plan notes it as phase 2 of Taman Metro Maya. The licence is held by P.K Lee Sdn Bhd (9495). I read the entry on teduh.kpkt.gov.my on 8 October 2026.

Building type: 60 double-storey terraces (Rumah Teres, 2 storeys), 188–206 sq m (about 2,024–2,217 sq ft), CCC 28 April 2026, vacant possession 4 May 2026. Approving authority: Majlis Daerah Batu Gajah, approval no. MDBG.(JKEJ).600-1/6/71(8). Tenure: 99-year leasehold, expiring 29 November 2115. Land encumbrance: none (Tiada). Restriction in interest: the land may be transferred or leased only with the State Authority’s written consent. Expected completion printed in the advertisement: March 2026. Advertising permit valid 4 June 2024 to 3 June 2026; the register shows no renewal, so ask for the current permit if a house is offered by the developer. Developer’s licence: the register carries 9495/11-2031/0402(A), valid 17 November 2026 to 16 November 2031; the brochure prints the licence it renews, 9495/11-2026/1274(A), valid 17/11/2023 – 16/11/2026 (the copy filed with the ministry shows the suffix as (R)). SPA form: Schedule G (Jadual G, landed property with individual title). Date of first SPA: 20 August 2024; vacant possession due under that SPA: 20 August 2026. Bumiputera lots: shaded on the developer’s site plan; the register entry states no number. The earlier Taman Metro Maya phase, entry 9495-10 (88 double-storey terraces, 4 bed / 3 bath, 163–192 sq m), was completed with CCC on 9 October 2024.

The price band on the permit is the developer’s approved SPA (sale and purchase agreement) price range on the government register — the range within which units may be sold, not a current price list for any particular unit.

What the permitted price band tells you

The permitted band is RM450,000 to RM638,000 for all 60 double-storey terraces (about 2,024–2,217 sq ft). The bottom of the band is an intermediate house; the top is in practice an end or corner unit with more land and the larger built-up. The brochure prints the same minimum and maximum. The current price list is a separate document: ask for it by name, with the lot number.

Completed: CCC issued 28 April 2026

The register records 100% built and Siap Dengan CCC: CCC 28 April 2026, vacant possession 4 May 2026, against 20 August 2026 under the first SPA — delivered early. The percentage is the developer’s own progress return to the ministry (the statutory 7(f) report).

The advertising permit lapsed on 3 June 2026 and the register shows no renewal. A housing developer may advertise and sell only under a valid permit, so a house offered today is either an owner’s sub-sale or needs a renewed permit — ask which. Status vocabulary is fixed: Belum Mula, Lancar, Lewat, Sakit, Siap Dengan CCC / CFO, Permit Telah Dibatalkan. This entry sits in Siap Dengan CCC.

Foreign buyers: what Perak allows

Only for some units, and only direct from the developer. The land is leasehold and Batu Gajah falls in Zone 2, where the minimum for a landed home is RM500,000; the permitted band, RM450,000 to RM638,000, straddles that line, so only the dearer houses could qualify. With the estate completed and the permit lapsed, most houses will change hands as sub-sales, which foreigners may not buy, and the Bumiputera lots are excluded.

Perak’s rules for foreign buyers, as summarised in the Malaysian Bar’s Circular 444/2024 (state table as at October 2024): since September 2023 non-citizens and foreign companies may not acquire freehold property in Perak. On leasehold land a home must be bought direct from the developer — residential sub-sales to foreigners are not permitted. Minimum prices: Zone 1 (Ipoh) RM700,000 landed / RM500,000 strata; Zone 2 (Manjung, Taiping, Teluk Intan, Tanjong Malim, Kampar, Batu Gajah, Kuala Kangsar) RM500,000 landed / RM350,000 strata; Zone 3 (Kerian, Perak Tengah, Tapah, Pengkalan Hulu, Gerik, Lenggong, Selama) RM300,000 landed / RM350,000 strata. Commercial property needs at least RM1,000,000 (Zone 1–2) or RM800,000 (Zone 3). State Authority consent is always required, and Bumiputera-quota lots are not open to foreign buyers. These rules change: confirm the current position in writing with a Perak conveyancing lawyer before you pay anything.
