Question 1

What is the difference between a freehold and a leasehold factory?

Accepted Answer

A freehold title has no expiry date. A leasehold title is granted by the state for a fixed term, commonly 60 or 99 years for industrial land in Selangor, and the land reverts to the state at the end unless the lease is renewed, usually against a premium. Both can be bought, financed and resold, but the remaining lease term on a leasehold factory affects how much banks lend and for how long.

Question 2

Does a freehold factory in Petaling Jaya need state consent to transfer?

Accepted Answer

Not because of the tenure itself. Consent requirements come from the title's restriction in interest (sekatan kepentingan), which many leasehold industrial titles carry and some freehold ones do too. Always read the restriction on the actual title before signing; FactoryHub checks it against the title search before an offer goes in.

Question 3

Why do banks prefer freehold factories?

Accepted Answer

Because the security does not run down. On leasehold titles banks typically want the remaining lease to outlast the loan by a margin, so an older leasehold factory can only be financed over a shorter tenure. Freehold removes that constraint, which is also why it tends to resell more easily.

Question 6

Should I rent or buy a freehold factory in Petaling Jaya?

Accepted Answer

Renting suits short-term operations (typical lease 2–3 years), market-testing, or preserving cash. Buying suits 5+ year operations and builds equity, but requires a 10–20% down payment plus legal fees and stamp duty. We list both options, switch the "For Sale" tab above to compare sale inventory in the same area, or call 016-666 6872 for a free consultation.

Question 7

Do I have to pay SST on factory rentals in Petaling Jaya?

Accepted Answer

Only if the landlord is SST-registered with Royal Malaysian Customs (RMCD). When registered, an 8% Sales & Service Tax is added on top of the monthly rental. Always confirm SST status with the agent before signing the tenancy agreement, it is part of the standard pre-letting checks FactoryHub agents perform.
