Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Somerset Puteri Harbour
A furnished, branded waterfront address in Puteri Harbour. Here is the case, and the catch.
On the Puteri Harbour waterfront
StarProperty describes marina and waterfront views, with Kota Iskandar and the Legoland area within walking distance.
Freehold and sold furnished
Tenure is freehold, and PropertyGuru notes that units come fully furnished, which suits buyers who plan to let.
A serviced-apartment set-up
The building has a 24-hour reception, business centre and residents’ lounge, in line with its Somerset branding.
What to weigh: title and operator terms
PropertyGuru mentions a commercial title, records disagree on the unit count, and the original 10-year Ascott term reported by StarProperty would have ended around 2024. Confirm the title, the current operator arrangement and the charges before you offer.

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.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Launch price at launch, 2012 | RM720,000 – RM4.5m | StarProperty project review |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | From about RM420,000 · RM700–1,537 psf | PropertyGuru building page (6 for sale), Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | From about RM3,500 a month | PropertyGuru building page (7 for rent), Oct 2026 |
The launch row is StarProperty’s report of 2012 launch prices. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru in October 2026, not transactions. We found no published transacted record for the building on EdgeProp, Brickz or PropertyGuru.

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
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 (RM1 million in Johor) 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.
- ⚠️ More than ten years old. Ask for the last AGM minutes and how much maintenance owners still owe; arrears show up as poor upkeep later.
- ⚠️ Serviced apartments usually sit on commercial land. Utility tariffs and some loan terms can be less favourable than for a residential title.
- ⚠️ Most asking prices here are below RM1 million, so most units cannot be sold to foreigners in Johor. On resale, your buyers will mainly be locals.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

Is Somerset Puteri Harbour freehold?
Yes. PropertyGuru and StarProperty both record freehold tenure. PropertyGuru’s description also mentions a commercial title, so check the title of the unit you are buying.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs a purchase price of at least RM1 million per residential property, must obtain state consent, and since 1 July 2025 pays a consent levy of 3% of the price or RM30,000, whichever is higher. Stamp duty on transfers to foreigners is a flat 8% from 1 January 2026. Bumiputera lots, low-cost and affordable units, Malay Reserve land and single or one-and-a-half-storey terraces are closed to foreigners. Asking prices at Somerset Puteri Harbour start around RM420,000, so only the larger units and penthouses priced at RM1 million or more could qualify, and only if the unit is not on a Bumiputera lot.

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.
