Key Reasons To Invest In A Landed Property
Unlike a condominium unit, a landed property — also known as a landed home — is a residential property that is purchased together with the land title of the lot upon which the property was built.
Landed properties come at a premium. However, if you’re looking for the perfect place to raise your family, a low-risk investment that can yield significant gains in the long term, or both, then buying a landed property is one of the best things you can do. Let us show you compelling reasons why that is.
Land tends to increase in value over time
Given Malaysia’s growing population and the continued enhancement of its cities, residential lots will become scarcer and more in demand through the years. And if your lot is in a vibrant gated community, the increase in its resale value is almost a foregone conclusion.
Featured property: Senadi Hills (Winner, Best Connectivity Landed Development) by Bandar Nusajaya Development Sdn Bhd
A gated mixed-development community in Iskandar Puteri, Senadi Hills features spacious two-storey houses that are perfect for multigenerational families. The development is proud to be wheelchair-friendly and boasts amenities such as manicured green spaces, a commercial square, an outdoor gym, and a children’s playground. Furthermore, Senadu Hills is close to premiere schools, shopping centres, hospitals, and arterial roads that connect to nearby cities and to Singapore.
Granted, real estate is generally not the vehicle for short-term gains. Moreover, you’ll have property maintenance costs and land tax to pay — plus the occasional global financial crisis that may affect property markets. Nevertheless, if you have the patience to hold on to your landed home for five years or more, then you’ll be able to recoup all of your expenses and pocket a hefty profit after capital gains tax.
More space to roam, more freedom to make your house a home
Unlike condo units, landed properties include yards and parking spaces. You can put up a garden, install a mini playground for your kids, or extend your existing property, provided that what you do is within the bounds of community guidelines and bylaws.
More often than not, when you live in a condo unit, it often feels cramped — unless you get loft types or units that are more than a hundred square metres in floor area. Additionally, you can’t change the exterior of your windows or even change the colour of your main door!

Peace, security, and privacy
High-value landed properties in Malaysia tend to be in guarded communities away from the city. The tranquillity, sense of safety, and reduction of unwanted attention all add to the desirability of such landed homes.
