The Perak rules that apply in Kampar, Gopeng & Batu Gajah

Freehold is barred for foreigners

Since September 2023 non-citizens and foreign companies cannot acquire, own, hold or inherit freehold property in Perak, so only leasehold is open to them (Malaysian Bar Circular No 444/2024).

Minimum price set by zone

Perak splits the state into three zones; Zone 1 is Ipoh. In the December 2024 position, Ipoh homes bought direct from a developer needed RM500,000–2 million for strata and RM700,000–2 million for landed; Zone 2 towns RM350,000–900,000 strata and RM500,000–1.5 million landed; Zone 3 RM350,000–750,000 strata and RM300,000–1 million landed. Where in each range a purchase falls depends on the title and tenure.

Subsale: check the 2026 change

The December 2024 position did not permit foreigners to buy residential subsale property in Perak. Guides published in 2026 report PTG Perak Circular No. 01/2026, in force from 4 March 2026, which allows subsale purchases with full title from about RM800,000 (Zone 3 strata) to RM2.5 million (Ipoh landed). We could not read the circular itself.
