Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at The Straits View Residences
Large gated landed homes close to Permas Jaya’s amenities. Here is the case, and the catch.
Large landed homes in a gated setting
PropertyGuru describes 186 semi-detached homes and 32 bungalows with double-volume living and dining areas and parking for up to four cars.
A short drive to Singapore
StarProperty and PropertyGuru put the development about ten minutes’ drive from Singapore, next to Permas Jaya Golf Course.
Clubhouse and a central park
The developer’s website describes a 2-acre central park, The Sanctuary, with a clubhouse; PropertyGuru also lists a pool, gym and tennis courts.
What to weigh: a very wide asking range
PropertyGuru shows asking prices from about RM898,000 to RM8.5 million (RM527–1,200 psf), and size and completion records differ between sources. Ask for recorded transactions for the exact size 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 | RM868,000–1,078,000 | StarProperty property review |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | About RM898,000–8.5m · RM527–1,200 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | About RM6,000–7,000 a month | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
All rows except the launch price are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru in October 2026, not transactions. EdgeProp’s project page showed no recent transacted median in October 2026, so none is quoted here.

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.
- ⚠️ Landed homes: check the land title, the facing, and whether the house has had extensions that need approved plans.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above 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.
