Developers say minimal impact from new S'gor property rules, buyers differ


PETALING JAYA: Various stakeholders in the property sector hold divergent views on the new set of guidelines governing property purchases by foreigners in Selangor, with some believing it will prevent them from sweeping up properties and driving up prices.

National House Buyers Association secretary-general Chang Kim Loong applauded the state government’s move to set a minimum purchase price of RM1mil for the Hulu Selangor and Sabak Bernam districts (Zone 3) and RM2mil elsewhere (Zones 1 and 2).
