About Sarawak
Sarawak runs its property market on its own rules — its own land code, its own housing ministry, and cities that are hundreds of kilometres apart.
Read more about Sarawak
New launches concentrate in four places: Kuching, the capital and largest market; Miri, the oil and gas city in the north near the Brunei border; Sibu on the Rajang River; and Bintulu, built around the LNG plant. Each behaves like its own market rather than as a suburb of the others. The state land code classifies land differently from the peninsula, with Mixed Zone Land freely transferable and Native Area Land restricted to natives of Sarawak, which is the single most important thing to check before committing to a purchase here.

Sarawak New Launch FAQ
Where are the main property markets in Sarawak?
Kuching, Miri, Sibu and Bintulu. They are separate markets, not one — Kuching to Miri is roughly 800 km by road, so a project in one city is not a substitute for a project in another.
What is Mixed Zone Land and Native Area Land?
Sarawak classifies land under its own Land Code. Mixed Zone Land can be owned and transferred by anyone. Native Area Land can only be held by natives of Sarawak. Almost all condominium and commercial development sits on Mixed Zone Land, but the title category is the first thing to verify on any Sarawak purchase.
Can West Malaysians buy property in Sarawak?
Yes, on Mixed Zone Land, with no additional state approval needed for Malaysians. Sarawak operates its own immigration control for entry, but that governs residence permits, not property ownership.
What drives demand in Sarawak?
Employment, not migration. Miri runs on oil, gas and the Curtin University campus; Bintulu on LNG and the Samalaju industrial park; Sibu on timber, shipbuilding and river trade; Kuching on government, tourism and services.
What should you check before buying in Sarawak?
The land classification on the title, whether the development sits inside the city boundary or in an outlying district, and how far it is from the airport — distances between Sarawak towns are long and flying is often the practical option.
Frequently Asked Questions about New Launch Properties in Sarawak
How much down payment do I need for a new launch in Sarawak?
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.
Can foreigners buy property in Sarawak?
Foreigners can buy above a state minimum price threshold, and many projects in Sarawak are foreigner-friendly. Confirm eligibility on each project page or via WhatsApp.
