Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Ferra Residences
Large, low-density homes on the Kuching–Samarahan corridor. Here is the case, and what to check.
Space, not density
Only 90 units, each between 1,700 and 2,700 sq ft with 3 to 5 bedrooms, including duplex penthouses.
Layered security
Card access at both guardhouses and to each floor, intercom, 24-hour CCTV and guards, and electric perimeter fencing, as listed by the developer.
Off the expressway
Just past the Kuching–Samarahan Expressway bridge, with the developer listing Giant about 8 minutes and the airport about 15 minutes away.
What to weigh: leasehold and a small resale pool
It is leasehold, so check the years left on the title. With only 90 units, subsale and rental comparisons are thin, and the developer’s list price does not tell you today’s value.

The recorded numbers
What units here sell and rent for
Recorded sales and asking prices are different things. Transacted figures come from deals recorded with the government valuation department; asking figures are what owners or the developer are listing at.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Asking rent whole units (2 listings) | From about RM3,000 a month | iProperty building page, Oct 2026 |
| Developer list price (launch) on the IQI listing | RM689,900 – RM1,039,900 | IQI Project Centre, 2026 |
No transacted figures were found, and no units were listed for sale on PropertyGuru or iProperty in October 2026. The rent row is based on just two iProperty listings. The launch row is the developer’s list price on IQI. With only 90 units, ask Jason for recorded subsale prices before you offer.

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
Layouts here run from about 1,700 to 2,718 sq ft. 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 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.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.
The real cost
What buying here costs in 2026
Worked example for a unit at RM1,040,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.

| Stamp duty on transfer (MOT) | RM25,600 | RM83,200 |
| Stamp duty on loan (0.5%) | RM4,680 | RM3,640 |
| Lawyer, sale agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM12,582 | RM12,582 |

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.
