The recorded numbers

The price numbers

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.

MeasureFigureSource and date
Asking price
one listing for sale
RM520,000PropertyGuru and iProperty, Aug 2026

We found no transacted prices and no rental listings. The one sale listing gives conflicting size and psf figures (RM755 psf on the project page, 2,168 sq ft in the listing), so treat it as a single asking price only.

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 506 to 1,518 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.
  • ⚠️ Serviced apartments usually sit on commercial land. Utility tariffs and some loan terms can be less favourable than for a residential title.
  • ⚠️ 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

Straight answers

Frequently asked questions

When was Troika Residences completed?

In 2020, according to PropertyGuru and iProperty.

How big are the units at Troika Residences?

From about 506 sq ft for a 1-bedroom suite to about 1,518 sq ft for the largest units and penthouses (PropertyGuru).

Can a foreigner buy a unit at Troika Residences?

Kelantan is under the National Land Code, and more than 90% of the state is Malay Reserve land under the Kelantan Malay Reservation Enactment 1930, which foreigners cannot buy. Records differ on the minimum price for a foreign buyer: the Bar Council’s table of state rules (as at October 2024) gives RM500,000, while other 2026 guides give RM1,000,000. State Authority consent is needed, low- and low-medium-cost units and Bumiputera units are excluded, and stamp duty on the transfer of a home is 8% for foreign buyers from 1 January 2026. The only asking price we found here is RM520,000, so a unit could qualify only if the RM500,000 figure applies and the title is not Malay Reserve. Confirm with the Kelantan Land and Mines Office before you commit.

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.
