Fair View Apartment in 30 seconds
Fair View Apartment is a freehold condominium in Bandar Baru Permas Jaya, Johor Bahru, Malaysia, developed by Not yet verified and completed in 2003. It comprises 2 block(s), 10 storeys and 164 units. Address: Jalan Permas 10/3, Bandar Baru Permas Jaya, Johor.
Layouts run 1,024 to 1,180 sq ft across 2 types. As at September 2026, resale listings range RM335,000 – RM540,000, with a mid-market level around RM437,500; transacted PSF sits at RM324–456 psf. Whole-unit rents are RM1,900 – RM2,300 a month, a gross yield of 3.5% – 4.5%. Maintenance: not published by this project. Across 47 completed Johor Bahru condos the measured range is RM0.22–0.42 per sq ft per month (median about RM0.31); projects completed before 2012 mostly sit at RM0.15–0.31 (typical RM0.25). Applied to this page’s 1,024–1,180 sq ft layouts that works out to roughly RM155 – RM365 a month — an estimate, not a billed figure. Ask the management office for the latest fee notice and the audited accounts.

Official median transacted price (historical reference): RM379,000 (370 psf), period 2025 (recent transaction sample from iRumah, based on the most common layout, 3-bedroom / 1,024 sf), source iRumah.co. iRumah shows a recent median of about RM370 psf for Fair View's most common layout (3-bedroom / 1,024 sf), which works out to a total price of about RM379,000. The same source shows that the price range varies considerably by layout — the 2-bedroom / 1,022 sf units have the highest median at RM490 psf, while the 4-bedroom / 1,410 sf units have the lowest at only RM300 psf. That means an "average price for Fair View" tells you very little: within the same building, actual transacted prices can differ by more than 60% depending on layout, floor and orientation, so fix on a specific layout before comparing prices and negotiating. Separately, a 2014 StarProperty record shows subsale prices starting at about RM350,000 that year, which set against the median 10 years later implies a fairly modest annualised increase. Note: official data lags 6–12 months between transaction and publication. The price and rent tables on this page use agent-corrected figures, about 20% above published data — that is what you would actually pay today.

2 layouts, from 1,024 to 1,180 sq ft
The table shows the current resale price band and rent band for each layout. Mid-market sits around RM437,500, the top of market reaches RM540,000 — within one layout the spread comes down to floor, facing and condition.
| Layout | Area | Bed / Bath | Resale price band | PSF | Monthly rent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Layout A | 1024 sf | 3BR · 2 bath | RM335,000 – RM540,000 | RM327–527 | RM1,900 – 2,300 |
| Layout B | 1180 sf | 3BR · 2 bath | RM335,000 – RM540,000 | RM284–458 | RM1,900 – 2,300 |
These are agent-corrected figures — based on the asking prices and signed rents currently in front of Koh Yue Lin, running about 20% above the published numbers on brickz.my / NAPIC and the major portals. That gap is not an error: official transaction data lags 6–12 months between recording and publication, and portal listings are often stale prices owners never updated. Portal basis for the same period: RM270–380 psf; this page uses RM324–456 psf. The official historical median is shown separately at the top of the page for trend.
PSF in this table is each layout’s own asking price divided by its area; the Asking PSF in the facts card is the project-wide agent-corrected band. Where one row merges layouts of very different sizes, the PSF cell is left blank rather than averaged.
Corrected as at 5 September 2026. Actual prices still depend on floor, facing, condition and negotiation; nothing here is an offer.

What Fair View Apartment actually looks like today
This page carries no stock imagery. A great deal of what circulates online is developer renderings, show units, or photographs of an entirely different project — attractive on screen, disappointing in person. I only send images whose source I have verified, each labelled as a photograph or a rendering.
The official images for this project can no longer be obtained: the developer’s website closed years ago and the web archives kept the pages but not the image files, and the management office has never published photographs. For the pictures circulating online I cannot establish the original source or the copyright holder, so I publish none of them — that would mean passing off unverified material as site photography. I am based in Johor Bahru: say the word and I will drive over this week and shoot the facade, lobby, corridors, pool, guardhouse and the interior of whatever is currently for sale, then send it to you on WhatsApp.
Lobby, lift landing, pool, gym, corridor condition, and interior shots of the units actually on the market. Each one is labelled as a photograph or a developer rendering — the gap between those two is where post-signing disappointment usually lives.
Official drawings for all 2 layouts — I request them for you
Most floor plans circulating online have been redrawn by agents, cropped so the dimensions are gone, or belong to a different project entirely. I only pass on the developer’s own drawings — real millimetre dimensions, room names and orientation, so you can check them against the unit itself.
Two units with the same built-up can differ hugely: how much goes to corridor, whether columns eat furniture space, whether a king bed fits the master, whether the balcony counts inside the area. Staging hides all of that on a viewing; a plan does not. Rule layouts out on paper first.
What actually gives Fair View Apartment its value
Low-density "standalone" design, with the two towers kept separate
Fair View consists of two 10-storey buildings planned along standalone lines, with a degree of separation between the two blocks and separate entrances, rather than sharing a single lobby and lift hall as most higher-density condominiums do. The direct benefit is less pressure on the common areas and shorter lift waiting times, a clear plus for owner-occupiers who want quiet and dislike crowding; the trade-off is that the facilities are correspondingly modest in scale.
One of the few residential projects in Malaysia sited within a commercial district, with daily amenities downstairs
Fair View adjoins the Permas Sentral commercial centre and is one of the few residential projects in Permas Jaya located directly within a commercial district, with banks, food outlets and retail shops all within walking distance. Compared with other condominiums in the area where the nearest shops require a drive, this arrangement is particularly practical for residents without their own transport, such as students and older people, who need not drive for daily shopping or banking.
Freehold with a simple set of layouts, making management and resale straightforward
The project has only two layouts (1,024 sq ft and 1,180 sq ft, both 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom) and the tenure is freehold. A simple layout mix means buyers are not confused by too many variables when comparing prices, units of the same type are more directly comparable, the pricing logic on resale is relatively clear, and it is harder for an agent to talk the price up on the basis of a "special layout".
Generally positive resident reviews, with good feedback on security and facilities
On PropertyGuru, all 3 existing resident reviews of Fair View give a full 5/5, and they focus on the 24-hour guarded access, heavy use of the pool, BBQ area and jogging track, and the reassurance that comes with freehold tenure. Compared with the many older condominiums in this area that have no online reviews or mixed ones, the fact that real residents at Fair View have chosen to leave positive reviews is a useful reference point when comparing it against other shortlisted projects.

「We grabbed our unit at under RM 370,000 and I'd say it's decent value for the square footage and location… check the floor, unit facing and condition — the difference in livability between two units can be big.」
— Anonymous, PropertyGuru resident review 5/5, 30 October 2025「Fair View offers gated & guarded access 24/7… On the flip side, it's still near busy roads and in peak hour you'll feel the traffic hum — so the higher floor and good orientation matter.」
— Anonymous, PropertyGuru resident review 5/5, 30 October 2025「The 3-bed, 1,024–1,180 sq ft layout feels comfortable for our small family, and the fact it's freehold gives us peace of mind… close to shops, banks and the causeway into Singapore.」

Which kind of buyer are you?
Own-stay, investment, or a place for a child at school — the same project is judged on completely different things. Work out which one you are before you look at price.
Small families or older residents who value having a commercial street downstairs
Adjoining the Permas Sentral commercial centre is Fair View's biggest point of difference, with banks, food outlets and everyday shopping all within walking distance — practical for small families or older residents who drive infrequently and value convenience. The genuine resident reviews on PropertyGuru bear this out. Before buying, walk the area yourself to see whether the flow between the commercial district and the residential blocks works well.
Letting investors seeking stable long-term tenants who value freehold tenure
Freehold tenure and a simple layout mix (only two specifications) reduce management complexity, and adjoining the commercial district helps with letting. iRumah data shows a current rental yield of about 5.03% (2025), higher than many comparable older condominiums in this area. Before investing, verify the actual transacted price for the specific floor and orientation rather than applying a broad project average when calculating your yield.
Not suitable for: buyers sensitive to traffic noise who look only at the average price and not the floor
Adjoining a commercial district means more pedestrian and vehicle traffic than in a purely residential area, and resident reviews on PropertyGuru note that the traffic is audible at peak hours. Buyers who are sensitive to noise and want an absolutely quiet environment should prioritise units facing the inner courtyard or on higher floors, and should decide only after experiencing the site at different times of day rather than judging from listing photographs and an "average price".
What I will not hide from you
Every project has weaknesses. An agent not mentioning them does not make them go away — it just means you find out after you have signed. Here is what is actually wrong with this one.
⚠The building is over 20 years old, with real pressure from lift and water pump overhauls and a special levy
Fair View was completed in 2003, making it 23 years old in 2026. At this age, the lift and water pump systems move into their overhaul cycle, and in Malaysia refurbishing or replacing a single lift generally costs between RM150,000 and RM300,000. If the sinking fund reserve is insufficient, a general meeting will usually pass a special levy apportioned across every unit, which can mean a one-off extra outlay of several thousand ringgit and pushes up your real holding cost.
⚠Noise and mixed pedestrian and vehicle traffic from the adjoining commercial district, particularly on low floors
Resident reviews on PropertyGuru themselves note that it is "still near busy roads and in peak hour you'll feel the traffic hum", which is the flip side of Fair View adjoining the Permas Sentral commercial centre — good amenities, but also heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Low-floor units facing the main road are more affected, and the lived experience differs considerably from units facing the inner courtyard or on higher floors, a distinction online asking prices usually do not reflect.
⚠Prices between layouts in the same building differ by more than 60%, so the "average price" easily misleads an offer
iRumah data shows that at Fair View, likewise a 3-bedroom project, the 2-bedroom / 1,022 sf units have a median of RM490 psf while the 4-bedroom / 1,410 sf units have a median of only RM300 psf, a gap of close to 60%. That shows floor, orientation and condition have a very large effect on pricing here, and if you make an offer based only on a broad online "average" or "from" price range, you can easily over- or under-estimate the fair price of a specific unit.
⚠Older plumbing and electrical systems, with in-unit pipework and wiring repairs at your own cost
In a condominium built in 2003, most of the wiring and pipework inside the unit is the original installation, and after more than 20 years the risk of deterioration, leaks and tripped circuits rises. Repairs inside the unit are the owner's own responsibility, and if the unit has never been renovated, future work such as rewiring or replacing pipework can cost several thousand ringgit or more. That money is usually not reflected in the asking price and is easily overlooked by buyers.
⚠Sited downwind of the Pasir Gudang industrial belt, air quality is a long-term concern
Permas Jaya is geographically close to the Pasir Gudang industrial area, where air quality incidents caused by odours or chemical discharges have historically forced schools to close temporarily and sent residents for medical treatment on several occasions. The frequency of such incidents is hard to predict, but when one occurs it hits rental demand and resale negotiations immediately — tenants may ask for a rent reduction or terminate early, and buyers will use it to push the price down. This risk does not show up in past transaction prices.
What else is there around Permas Jaya / Masai / Seri Alam?
Within one area, big price gaps usually have reasons: tenure, age, density, management. Compare across first, then decide which to look at closely.

What does buying here actually cost in 2026?
From 1 January 2026, stamp duty for foreign buyers of Malaysian residential property rose from 4% to 8%. Johor’s state consent levy rose from 2% to 3% (minimum RM30,000) from July 2025. Together with legal fees, this is the cash you need on top of the purchase price.
| Item | Basis | On RM1,000,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | — | RM1,000,000 |
| Stamp duty (foreigner, 8%) | From 1 Jan 2026 | RM80,000 |
| Johor consent levy (3%) | Minimum RM30,000 | RM30,000 |
| Legal fees & disbursements (~1%) | — | ≈ RM10,000 |
| Total on top | — | ≈ RM120,000（12%） |
Johor sets a minimum purchase price for foreigners, and the rules differ between commercial title (serviced apartment / SOHO) and residential title. Fair View Apartment is Freehold — confirm with your lawyer which regime applies before you place a booking. Get this wrong and the transfer can fail.

The 13 questions buyers ask me most
How much does Fair View Apartment cost on the resale market?
As at September 2026, Fair View Apartment resale listings run RM335,000 to RM540,000, with a mid-market level around RM437,500 and transacted PSF of RM324–456. By layout: Layout A (1024 sf) RM335,000–RM540,000; Layout B (1180 sf) RM335,000–RM540,000. Within one layout the spread comes from floor, facing and condition — WhatsApp me for the live list.
What are rents and yields at Fair View Apartment?
Whole-unit rents run RM1,900 – RM2,300 a month. That is a gross yield of about 3.5% – 4.5% — gross, so after maintenance, assessment, quit rent, insurance and vacancy, net yield is typically 0.8–1.2 points lower.
Is Fair View Apartment freehold, and can foreigners buy?
Fair View Apartment is Freehold. Foreigners may buy subject to Johor’s minimum purchase price for foreign buyers. Residential title and commercial title (serviced apartment / SOHO) fall under different rules — have your lawyer confirm which applies before booking. From 2026 foreign-buyer stamp duty is 8%, plus Johor’s 3% consent levy (minimum RM30,000).
When was Fair View Apartment completed and who built it?
Fair View Apartment was completed in 2003 and is occupied resale stock: 2 block(s), 10 storeys, 164 units. Developer: not on public record.
How is transport at Fair View Apartment, and how far is the checkpoint?
not yet verified; about 16–18 km (estimated); Close to the Pasir Gudang Highway
What layouts does Fair View Apartment have?
2 layouts: Layout A 1024 sf (3BR), Layout B 1180 sf (3BR). Areas run 1,024 to 1,180 sq ft. I can supply the developer’s official floor plans — WhatsApp me the layout you want to see.
What is the maintenance fee at Fair View Apartment, and what facilities are there?
This project does not publish its maintenance fee. Across 47 completed Johor Bahru condos the measured range is RM0.22–0.42 per sq ft per month (median about RM0.31); projects completed before 2012 mostly fall in RM0.15–0.31 (typical RM0.25). Note that the two groups’ medians differ by only about RM0.09 and their ranges overlap heavily — roughly one project in seven is an exception — so age alone does not settle the figure. Applied to this page’s 1,024–1,180 sq ft layouts, that works out to roughly RM155 – RM365 a month; this is an estimate, not a billed amount. Ask the management office for the latest fee notice and the audited accounts. Facilities include: Swimming pool, Children’s playground, 24-hour security, Parking bays, Jogging track, Barbecue area.
Who is Fair View Apartment suitable for?
Budget-conscious landlords seeking straightforward 3-bedroom units for stable letting
What are the risks of buying at Fair View Apartment?
Over 20 years old with little public data (management fees and rental details are not transparent); on-site verification needed
What malls, schools and hospitals are near Fair View Apartment?
Malls: Permas Jaya commercial area, AEON Permas Jaya. Schools: SK Taman Permas Jaya 3 (national primary, Jalan Permas 7), SMK Permas Jaya (national secondary), SJK(C) Pei Hwa 2 (Chinese primary), R.E.A.L Schools Johor Bahru Campus (international & national streams, in-township), SJK(T) Permas Jaya (Tamil primary). Hospitals: Klinik Komuniti Taman Plentong Utama (government community clinic — there is no Klinik Kesihatan in Permas Jaya), JB Specialist Hospital (private, Taman Johor Jaya), Hospital Pasir Gudang (public general hospital), Regency Specialist Hospital (private, Bandar Seri Alam).
Fair View has only two layouts. Is that too little choice?
There are indeed only two layouts, 1,024 sq ft and 1,180 sq ft, both 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, which is a narrower range than a project with many layouts. Looked at the other way, it makes comparing similar units more direct and the pricing logic on resale simpler, and it avoids the problem of an unusual layout being hard to value. If what you need is exactly a 3-bedroom unit (to live in or to let to a local family), that simplicity is an advantage; but if you need a compact 1–2 bedroom or a larger 4-bedroom unit, Fair View does not suit.
Online prices for the different layouts at Fair View vary a lot. Which figure reflects the real market?
No single "average price" represents the real market at Fair View. iRumah data shows the 2-bedroom / 1,022 sf units reaching a median of RM490 psf while the 4-bedroom / 1,410 sf units have a median of only RM300 psf, a gap of close to 60%, driven mainly by floor, orientation and condition. To find the fair price of a specific unit, ask the agent to pull the actual transaction records for the same block and same layout over the past 12 months, rather than referring to the project-wide price range.
Will adjoining a commercial district affect how quiet the unit is?
It has some effect, particularly for low-floor units facing the main road. Genuine resident reviews on PropertyGuru note that it is near busy roads and that the traffic is audible at peak hours, while also crediting the 24-hour guarded access with improving both security and quiet. Choose units facing the inner courtyard or on higher floors when viewing, and assess the noise level on site during the morning and evening peaks before deciding.
