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.
Parent company R&F Properties' financial position is under market scrutiny; brand reputation carries volatility risk
High density across 15 towers and several thousand units; management is rated only average (PropertyGuru 3.4/5)
Secondary PSF varies widely; some units carry inflated premiums and need screening
Parking and lift congestion at peak hours
What else is there around City Centre / RTS Line?
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. R&F Princess Cove is Freehold — confirm with your lawyer which regime applies before you place a booking. Get this wrong and the transfer can fail. I can check the title category for this project first.
