Why this address

Four things buyers weigh at D’Festivo Residences

A mid-sized condominium in an established part of Ipoh. Here is the case, and the catch.

🏙️

In the Ipoh Garden belt

The site is in Ipoh Garden East off Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah Utara, with Festival Walk and a Tesco nearby.

🔲

Every unit a corner unit

The developer says all 240 units are corner units, from 1-bedroom to 3+1-bedroom layouts and penthouses.

💰

A recorded yield near 6%

EdgeProp records a median of about RM432 psf and estimates a gross yield of about 6.0%. Whole units are listed at about RM1,400–2,500 a month.

⚖️

What to weigh: leasehold and mixed records

The land is leasehold and an older review gives a different height and tower count from the developer, so check the title and the remaining lease with your lawyer.

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 475 to 2,742 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.

  • ⚠️ A newer project, so many owners are renting out at the same time. Expect competition for tenants for the first few years.
  • ⚠️ 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

Frequently asked questions

Is D’Festivo Residences freehold?

No. It is leasehold. The remaining lease term is not published, so check the title before you buy.

What sizes are available?

Five layout types from 475 sq ft (1 bedroom) to 3,666 sq ft (penthouse), with most units 2- or 3-bedroom. The developer lists 16 one-bedroom, 96 two-bedroom, 56 three-bedroom and 64 three-plus-one units, which add up to 232; the remaining eight or so are presumably the penthouses.

How much does it rent for?

Whole units are listed at about RM1,400 to RM2,500 a month, typically about RM1,800 (PropertyGuru, October 2026).

Can a foreigner buy here?

Possibly, but check first. Perak sets foreign-buyer rules by zone, and Ipoh is Zone 1. In the position circulated by the Malaysian Bar in December 2024, foreigners could buy Ipoh homes only direct from a developer (strata from RM500,000) and subsale purchases were not permitted. Guides published in 2026 report a PTG Perak circular, in force from 4 March 2026, that allows subsale purchases at higher minimums, with a state levy. State consent is needed in every case, and stamp duty on homes is a flat 8% for foreign buyers from 1 January 2026. Confirm with a Perak conveyancing lawyer before you pay a booking fee.

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.
