Why this address

Four things buyers weigh at Encorp Strand Residences

A mall-side tower close to the MRT. Here is the case, and the catch.

🚇

MRT within walking range

StarProperty puts Surian MRT station about 750 metres away, on the line through Kota Damansara.

🛍️

A mall next door

Strand Mall, with groceries, restaurants and a cinema, sits beside the tower, and iProperty puts Sunway Giza Mall about 950 metres away.

📐

Wide range of sizes

Layouts run from 640 sq ft studios to 3-bedroom units of about 2,400–2,600 sq ft and penthouses above 7,800 sq ft.

⚖️

What to weigh: tenure and labels

Portals record freehold but StarProperty’s review says leasehold, and listings label some units differently from the published layouts. Check the title and the strata plan 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.

Both rows are asking prices from listings, not recorded sales; we found no project-level transacted figure we could verify. One sale listing at about RM215 psf was left out as an outlier.

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

Layouts here run from about 640 to 7,800 sq ft. 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 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.
  • ⚠️ 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 RM1,170,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.

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.
