Where these numbers come from

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: RM308–469 psf; this page uses RM370–563 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.

Official Floor Plans

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.

📐
Why the plan comes before the viewing

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.

Tell me the layout — I’ll send the listings with it

Rental & Yield

Rents: RM1,700 to RM2,500 a month

Whole-unit gross yield runs about 5.0% – 6.5%. That is gross — before maintenance, assessment, quit rent, insurance and vacancy. Net yield typically lands 0.8 to 1.2 percentage points below this.

Why This Project

What actually gives Perling Heights Apartments its value

01
✔

Tenure confirmed as freehold, a basic detail that was originally blank

Three sources agree on freehold: the PropertyGuru project page (perling-heights-apartments-3002), the iRumah project page and the mudah.my listing data. This matters in the Taman Perling area, where Perling Apartment, 1.35 km away on foot, is leasehold with no publicly available remaining term. The practical benefit of freehold is that your bank loan tenure will not be capped by the remaining lease, and your next buyer's pool will not be cut down by a "how many years are left" argument.

02
✔

A small development of 222 units across 22 storeys, so common areas are not swamped

Only 222 units across 22 storeys (KPKT TEDUH 11785-1 registers 23 storeys, and the official registration takes precedence), sized 641 to 1,217 sq ft. PropertyGuru currently shows 11 units for sale and 10 for rent, about 5.0% and 4.5% of total units respectively. Compared with 8scape in the same area, with 1,255 units and 129 for sale and 152 for rent (about 10.3% and 12.1%), pressure on lifts, car park bays and facilities here is far lower, and you face about half the direct competition when letting.

03
✔

iRumah records a rental yield of about 7.0% in 2025, its own historical high

iRumah shows a current rental yield for this project of about 7.0%, against 5.67% a year earlier (2024); the highest on record is that 7.0% in 2025 and the lowest is 4.24% in 2021. Small units (around 641 sq ft) let for about RM1,400–1,700 a month and large units (1,217 sq ft) for about RM1,700–2,100, against a purchase band of RM270,000–458,000, which puts this rent-to-price ratio at the higher end among Johor Bahru high-rise residential. Note that 7.0% is a gross yield and will fall noticeably once the maintenance fee, assessment tax, quit rent and vacancy periods are deducted.

04
✔

Immediately next to SK Taman Perling 3 and the Bukit Indah catchment

Measured from the Jalan Baiduri 1 coordinates: SK Taman Perling 3 about 0.92 km in a straight line, SMK Seri Perling about 1.39 km, Lotus's Bukit Indah about 2.28 km, AEON Bukit Indah about 2.95 km. The project sits on the south-western side of Taman Perling, closer to the Bukit Indah mall cluster than to Perling Mall (about 2.69 km), so the daily shopping route runs towards Bukit Indah.

Resident Reviews

What residents say — the good and the bad, both

Every review below is an attributed comment on a public platform, and each one links to the original. I have not filtered out the negative ones: what is actually wrong with a building is usually only visible to the people living in it. 3 in total — 3 positive, 0 critical.

「I bought a unit to rent out and have been very pleased with interest from tenants. The price is fair for this area and is reasonable compared to similar properties. People want to rent here, so demand is steady. It's a solid choice for anyone looking to invest.」

— Yu Ling, PropertyGuru resident review 5/5, 13 February 2026

「As a tenant, I find the rooms generous and well organised. The verandah is perfect to relax in the evenings. Basic features like power and water are reliable which matters a lot. Renting here has been a very comfortable experience.」

— Li Na, PropertyGuru resident review 4.7/5 (transport rated 3), 13 February 2026

「We moved here when our family grew and needed more room. The larger rooms and wide dining space are perfect for us. Proximity to local schools and shops makes daily life easier. We'd recommend this to other families.」

— Jia Heng, PropertyGuru resident review 4.8/5, 13 February 2026

What is actually within reach

Location decides who rents from you and how easily you resell. Each distance below is labelled by how it was obtained; straight-line estimates say so — real walking routes detour around roads and overpasses and typically run 30–50% longer.

Who It Suits

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.

1

First-time buyers on a limited budget who want freehold title

Budget RM270,000–400,000, buying a small unit of around 641 sq ft

Freehold title, a small development and an established neighbourhood are the three most concrete things this project offers a first-time buyer. The bank will not compress your loan tenure because of a lease term, and your buyer pool stays intact when you sell. What you have to accept is that this is an eleven-year-old building handed over in 2014, and its facilities and management have reached the stage where money has to be spent, so walk the pool, gym and car park yourself when viewing rather than only seeing a renovated show unit.

2

Long-term rental investors focused on gross yield

Budget RM270,000–400,000, buying a small unit to let

iRumah records a 2025 rental yield of about 7.0%, the highest on record for this project (the lowest being 4.24% in 2021). Small units let for about RM1,400–1,700 a month. With only 11 units for sale and 10 for rent, you are not competing with thirty other owners for the same tenants the moment you list. But 7.0% is gross, and it drops materially once the RM280–341 monthly maintenance fee, assessment tax, quit rent and vacancy periods are deducted, so work out your net return before you commit.

3

Families who want three bedrooms but cannot stretch to 8scape

Budget RM400,000–460,000, buying a 1,109–1,217 sq ft three-bedroom

A 1,109 sq ft three-bedroom has a recent median of about RM360 psf, against RM490 psf for the 1,035 sq ft three-bedroom at 8scape in the same area: for the same three bedrooms, the unit price here is about a quarter lower and you get several dozen more square feet. The trade-off is a clear step down in the scale of the facilities: here it is a pool, clubhouse, gym, multipurpose hall and playground, the basic set, not 8scape's five acres and four pools.

4

Not suitable for: highly geared buyers who need a deep pool of transactions to support the valuation

Anyone planning to borrow 90% or more and relying on the bank valuation to hold up the price

A small 222-unit development generates a limited number of transactions each year, and a substantial proportion of the recent publicly visible listings are auctions (1,206 sq ft appearing at reserves of RM380,000 and RM300,000 within a single month). With few samples and auction prices among them, the bank's valuer may well come in below the price you negotiated, and the difference has to be made up in cash. Highly geared buyers should get a valuation done before negotiating.

Risks & Trade-offs

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.

⚠Who the developer is depends on which source you read, and that matters because it determines who you chase for warranty and outstanding works

iRumah gives the developer as "SKS Group (aka MB World / fka Mahabuilders)", but those three names do not map to the same company: MB World Group Berhad was previously Emas Kiara Industries Berhad and only changed its name in May 2016, with no connection to Mahabuilders; Mahabuilders Sdn Bhd is a separate Johor Bahru company registered at 53 & 55 Jalan Baiduri, founded in 1983 as Mahadun Benaan Sdn Bhd, renamed in 1994, founded by Mustapha Hassan, and first entering property development with Taman Baiduri in 1999; SKS Group is a third Johor Bahru developer. The portals have merged all three into one.

✓ Dig out the first page of the seller's original S&P contract; the developer's full name and company registration number written there are the only reliable version. Take that registration number to SSM e-Search to check the company's current status (still operating, or wound up), then ask the management office (JMB / MC) whether the developer handed over the management fund and the common property in full at handover.

⚠The parent group MB World Group Berhad was delisted from Bursa Malaysia on 11 September 2020, and financial information has been unavailable since

If this project is genuinely connected to MB World Group Berhad, then note: Kim Feng Capital Sdn Bhd, Ngsinar Sdn Bhd and Ng Kok Boon made a general offer for the remaining 28.2% of shares at 99 sen each in 2020 (about 44.4 million shares for a consideration of about RM39.9 million), trading in the shares was suspended from 2 September 2020, and the entire share capital was formally delisted from the Bursa Malaysia Main Market at 9am on 11 September 2020. After privatisation there are no more annual reports, quarterly reports or material announcements, so you have no way to judge the company's current financial health, and therefore no way to judge whether anyone can still be found to deal with outstanding works.

✓ This project was handed over in 2014, so the statutory defect liability period (DLP, generally 24 months from handover) expired long ago; do not expect the developer to fix anything. What you need to confirm before buying is whether the strata title has been issued and already transferred into the seller's name. If it is still in the developer's name, the transfer will need an additional developer consent, and where the company has been privatised or restructured that process can drag on for a long time.

⚠All 3 reviews on PropertyGuru were posted on the same day (13 February 2026), so do not treat them as a basis for buying

This project's overall score on PropertyGuru is 4.8/5, but it rests on only 3 reviews, and all 3 were published on 13 February 2026, by Yu Ling, Li Na and Jia Heng respectively. All are very short, all are positive, and none mentions any specific block, facility fault or management incident. Clusters of reviews appearing on a single day are common on Malaysian property platforms; they may come from a platform review campaign, and they may not be from genuine residents. Either way, that 4.8/5 has no statistical meaning.

✓ Ignore the star rating and ask on site. Go on a weekday evening, find two or three residents at the lift lobby, by the pool or in the car park and talk to them for five minutes, and ask three things: how many water and power outages there have been in the past year, how many times the lifts have broken down, and whether the maintenance fee has been raised. Those three answers are worth more than any online rating.

⚠No consistent public figures for the maintenance fee and reserves, and the numbers on listings disagree with each other

Public listings show maintenance fees ranging from RM280 a month to RM310.20 plus RM31.20 (the latter appears to be the maintenance fee and the sinking fund listed separately), with no officially published rate per square foot. Working from a 1,109 sq ft three-bedroom, the monthly charge falls in the region of RM0.25–0.31 psf, which is on the low side, and a low maintenance fee is not good news for a 22-storey building handed over in 2014 and now eleven years old: lift machinery, pumps, the fire system and the facade waterproofing are all entering their first overhaul cycle, and where reserves fall short the cost is apportioned to owners as a special levy, with a few thousand ringgit per unit being the norm.

✓ Ask the management office for the audited financial statements from the past two years and establish exactly what the sinking fund balance is, what major repairs have been carried out in the past two years, and what the maintenance plan is for the next two years. Also obtain the seller's maintenance fee payment record for this unit and a zero-arrears certificate; inherited arrears from a previous owner are the most expensive trap in an older building.

⚠In a small 222-unit development, liquidity cuts both ways: less competition, but also fewer transaction samples, so valuations distort easily

11 units for sale and 10 for rent sounds healthy, but the small total means any single forced sale will noticeably drag down the transacted median for the whole building. The two most recent listings recorded by iRumah are both auctions: the same 1,206 sq ft, RM380,000 on 29 March 2025 and RM300,000 on 29 April 2025, a difference of RM80,000 within a month. When the bank's valuer has only a handful of samples to work with and some of them are auction transactions, the valuation on your loan application may come in well below your agreed price, and you will have to make up the difference in cash.

✓ Get a bank valuation done before you sign the S&P and negotiate on the basis of that valuation; do not pay a deposit first and then discover the valuation falls short. At the same time, ask the agent for every transaction record for this project over the past 24 months, and mark the auction transactions separately so they do not creep into your own view of the price.

For Foreign Buyers

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.

The basic data shows the tenure as "not verified". Is it freehold or leasehold?

It is freehold. The PropertyGuru project page (perling-heights-apartments-3002) states Freehold clearly on the project card, and the iRumah project page and the mudah.my listing data agree. The practical significance for buyers is that the bank will not shorten your loan tenure because of a remaining lease term, and you will not face a "how many years are left" discount argument when you sell, a clear advantage over Perling Apartment in the same area, which is leasehold with an unknown remaining term. That said, a website label is not the title document, so still instruct your lawyer to carry out a land office search before signing the S&P to confirm the type of tenure and whether there are any encumbrances.

PropertyGuru shows 4.8 and the reviews are all positive. Can I trust them?

They are not a sound basis for a decision. That 4.8 rests on only 3 reviews, and all 3 were published on the same day, 13 February 2026, by Yu Ling, Li Na and Jia Heng. All are very short, all are generic praise, and none mentions a specific block, facility fault or management incident. Clusters of reviews appearing on a single day with highly templated content usually come from a platform review campaign, and the sample is nowhere near large enough to represent the real experience of 222 units. If you want to know what it is like to live there, go on site and ask residents how many water and power outages there have been in the past year, how many times the lifts have broken down, and whether the maintenance fee has been raised.

Is the developer SKS Group or MB World? Does it matter?

It matters, and the public record is currently contradictory. iRumah gives the developer as "SKS Group (aka MB World / fka Mahabuilders)", but MB World Group Berhad was in fact previously Emas Kiara Industries Berhad (renamed in May 2016), while Mahabuilders Sdn Bhd is a separate Johor Bahru company registered at 53 & 55 Jalan Baiduri (founded in 1983 as Mahadun Benaan Sdn Bhd, renamed in 1994, founded by Mustapha Hassan, first developing Taman Baiduri in 1999), and SKS Group is a third company again. MB World Group Berhad was also delisted from Bursa Malaysia on 11 September 2020, since when there have been no public financial statements. In practice: this project was handed over in 2014, the defect liability period expired long ago, and there is no point pursuing the developer. What actually needs confirming is whether the strata title has been issued and transferred into the seller's name. Look at the first page of the seller's S&P for the developer's full name and company registration number, then instruct your lawyer to carry out a title search.
