What to know about Ipoh

Getting around

The ETS electric train runs from Ipoh station to KL Sentral in about two and a half hours; the North–South Expressway serves the city, and most residents drive.

Everyday life

Ipoh Parade, AEON Station 18, the Old Town and its cafés, the Lost World of Tambun and hot springs, and hospitals including KPJ Ipoh.

Before you buy

Perak bars foreigners from freehold property and sets minimum prices by zone. Check the tenure and the current circular with your lawyer before you pay a booking fee.

Foreign buyers

The Perak rules that apply in Ipoh

Freehold is barred for foreigners

Since September 2023 non-citizens and foreign companies cannot acquire, own, hold or inherit freehold property in Perak, so only leasehold is open to them (Malaysian Bar Circular No 444/2024).

Minimum price set by zone

Perak splits the state into three zones; Zone 1 is Ipoh. In the December 2024 position, Ipoh homes bought direct from a developer needed RM500,000–2 million for strata and RM700,000–2 million for landed; Zone 2 towns RM350,000–900,000 strata and RM500,000–1.5 million landed; Zone 3 RM350,000–750,000 strata and RM300,000–1 million landed. Where in each range a purchase falls depends on the title and tenure.

Subsale: check the 2026 change

The December 2024 position did not permit foreigners to buy residential subsale property in Perak. Guides published in 2026 report PTG Perak Circular No. 01/2026, in force from 4 March 2026, which allows subsale purchases with full title from about RM800,000 (Zone 3 strata) to RM2.5 million (Ipoh landed). We could not read the circular itself.
