Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at The Platino
A large freehold IOI block with small entry units and a deep rental pool. Here is the case, and the catch.
Freehold, with small entry units
Layouts start at 517 sq ft and run to 3 bedrooms, per PropertyGuru.
A deep rental pool
PropertyGuru showed 91 units for rent against 34 for sale in October 2026, asking RM650 to RM3,800 a month including rooms.
Pool-led facilities
PropertyGuru lists a swimming pool, lap pool, wading pool, Jacuzzi, gym, playground and reflexology path.
What to weigh: a very wide asking spread
Asking prices run from RM483 to RM1,122 psf, while EdgeProp’s typical recorded band is RM472–676 psf. Base your offer on transacted prices for the same size.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Transacted price median, last 48 months | RM619 psf · typical RM472–676 psf | EdgeProp project page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | About RM340,000–950,000 · RM483–1,122 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units and rooms | About RM650–3,800 a month | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales over 48 months; EdgeProp had too little rental data to give a yield. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru in October 2026 (34 for sale, 91 for rent), not transactions; the lowest rents are likely rooms.

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.
- ⚠️ A newer project, so many owners are renting out at the same time. Expect competition for tenants for the first few years.
- ⚠️ 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.
The real cost
What buying here costs in 2026
Worked example for a unit at RM950,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.

| Down payment | RM95,000 | RM285,000 |

| Stamp duty on transfer (MOT) | RM22,500 | RM76,000 |
| Stamp duty on loan (0.5%) | RM4,275 | RM3,325 |
| Lawyer, sale agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM11,610 | RM11,610 |
| Lawyer, loan agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM10,584 | RM8,532 |
| Cash needed before keys | RM143,969 | RM384,467 |
| State consent fee for foreigners | – | 3% of the price or RM30,000 (Johor) |

First-time Malaysian buyers of homes up to RM500,000 may get a stamp duty exemption until 2027. Valuation, disbursements and moving costs are not included.

Asking prices at The Platino run from about RM340,000 to RM950,000, below RM1 million, so foreign buyers are generally not eligible here.

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.
