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 Nilai 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 8

Question 10

What drives factory prices in Malaysia?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

Should I buy freehold or leasehold factory?

Accepted Answer

Freehold factories cost more but hold value long-term with no renewal hassle. Leasehold (30–99 years) is cheaper and often in strategic industrial zones. For owner-occupiers, freehold is ideal. For investors, leasehold near ports can yield better rental returns.

Question 12

What legal fees and stamp duty do I pay when buying a factory?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 13

Can foreigners buy factories in Malaysia?

Accepted Answer

Yes, subject to state-level approval and minimum-price thresholds, and these are notably HIGHER than residential. Reference points: Selangor industrial/commercial land typically RM5M+, Kuala Lumpur RM1M+, Johor RM2M+, Penang Island RM3M / Mainland RM1M. Many foreign investors instead set up a Malaysian Sdn Bhd company to simplify purchase, financing, and ongoing tax/licensing, a Malaysia-incorporated company is treated as a local entity for property acquisition. Note: the flat 8% foreign-buyer stamp duty (effective 1 January 2026) applies to residential; industrial/commercial stamp duty rules should be verified state by state for the latest position.
