Factory prices depend on built-up size, lot frontage, ceiling height, power capacity, dock-leveller and crane availability, road access (especially for trailer turning), and proximity to ports, airports, and highways. Title category (freehold versus leasehold) and zoning class (light, medium, heavy industrial) also materially affect value. Use the filters to compare comparable units before benchmarking your offer.

Stamp duty is progressive: 1% up to RM100K, 2% on RM100K–500K, 3% on RM500K–1M, and 4% above RM1M. Legal fees follow the SRO 2023 scale (Sale & Transfer): 1.25% on the first RM500K and 1% on the next RM7M (negotiable above RM7.5M). Note that property transactions typically incur three sets of legal fees, SPA (Sale & Purchase Agreement), Loan Agreement, and MOT (Memorandum of Transfer), each calculated separately, plus valuation fees, disbursements and 8% SST on professional fees. Total all-in transaction cost for a standard sub-sale industrial deal generally lands at 4–6% of purchase price.
