Why this address

Four things buyers weigh at D’Ambience Residences

A large, established freehold block in Permas Jaya with an active resale and rental market. Here is the case, and the catch.

🛒

Shops and schools close by

iProperty puts AEON Permas Jaya about 2 km away and Giant Plentong about 3 km, with several international schools within about 2–3 km.

📏

Studios to family units

Layouts run from 513 sq ft one-bedroom units to 1,414 sq ft three-bedroom homes, so it suits both tenants and owner-occupiers.

🏘️

A deep resale market

PropertyGuru showed 70 units for sale and 57 for rent in October 2026, so there is plenty to compare before you offer.

⚖️

What to weigh: lots of competing stock

With dozens of units listed at once, asking prices run from about RM333 to RM527 psf. Compare like-for-like sizes and floors, and expect landlords to compete for tenants.

Is it for you?

Which kind of buyer are you?

The same building suits different people for different reasons. Pick the line that sounds like you.

🏠 Living here yourself

Ask me which stacks get the better view and the least afternoon sun; that changes the price more than the floor.

💰 Buying to rent out

Compare the recorded rents in "The price numbers" above with the instalment on your loan. Smaller layouts usually rent faster; larger ones hold tenants longer.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family with children

Check the school and clinic distances in the location section, the number of car parks per unit and how busy the lifts are at 7.30 am.

✈️ Buying from overseas

Foreigners can only buy above the state minimum price (RM1 million in Johor) and pay 8% stamp duty from 2026. Ask me which units here qualify before you shortlist.

Straight talk

What I will not hide from you

Every project has trade-offs. These are the ones I would want to know before paying a deposit.

  • ⚠️ More than ten years old. Ask for the last AGM minutes and how much maintenance owners still owe; arrears show up as poor upkeep later.
  • ⚠️ Serviced apartments usually sit on commercial land. Utility tariffs and some loan terms can be less favourable than for a residential title.
  • ⚠️ Most asking prices here are below RM1 million, so most units cannot be sold to foreigners in Johor. On resale, your buyers will mainly be locals.
  • ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

Is D’Ambience Residences freehold?

Can a foreigner buy here?

In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs to pay at least RM1 million per residential property, with state consent.

Bumiputera lots, low-cost and affordable units, Malay Reserve land and single or one-and-a-half-storey terraces are closed to foreigners. Asking prices at D’Ambience Residences run up to about RM600,000, so no unit reaches the RM1 million line and foreign buyers are not eligible in practice.

How much does a unit rent for?

PropertyGuru listings in October 2026 ask about RM850 to RM2,000 a month, depending on size and whether a room or a whole unit is let.

I work with local families, investors and buyers from Singapore and overseas. If a project is not right for what you need, I will say so; that is usually worth more than the brochure.
