The Kedah rules that apply in Alor Setar
Minimum price: RM1 million (Bar circular)
The Malaysian Bar’s December 2024 circular lists Kedah’s minimum for foreign buyers of residential, commercial and industrial property as RM1 million.
Mainland figure: sources differ
PropertyGuru, iProperty, ASCO and Low & Partners guides (2023–2026) list RM600,000 for mainland Kedah and RM1 million for Langkawi. A copy of the state guideline in circulation gives RM1 million per unit. Confirm the figure that applies on the day with your lawyer.
Langkawi: RM1 million
Every current guide checked, and the Bar circular, give RM1 million for Langkawi. Older material quoting RM500,000 is out of date. Langkawi has no separate foreign-buyer authority: the same Kedah state consent applies.
