Frequently Asked Questions about New Launch Properties in Gelugor

How much down payment do I need for a new launch in Gelugor?

Home loans in Malaysia typically cover up to 90% of the property price, so buyers usually prepare around 10% plus transaction costs. Some new launches come with lower upfront packages — check each project page or enquire via WhatsApp.

What extra fees should I budget when buying a new launch?

Besides the purchase price, budget for stamp duty on the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the loan agreement (loan stamp duty is about 0.5% of the loan amount), legal fees, and loan processing or disbursement costs.

What is a booking fee or earnest deposit?

A booking fee (earnest deposit) is a small percentage of the price paid to reserve a unit before signing the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA).

How does payment work for an under-construction project?

Under-construction homes follow a progressive payment schedule tied to construction milestones set out in the SPA, so you do not pay the full amount upfront.

What is the difference between freehold and leasehold?

Freehold has no fixed ownership period, while leasehold is held for a set term (commonly 99 years). Each project page shows its exact tenure and land title.

When will a new launch project be completed?

Each listing shows the project expected completion or vacant possession (VP) date. New launch homes are usually handed over a few years after launch.
