Property rules change, and sometimes I get things wrong. When a page changes in a way that matters to a reader’s decision, I note it here, newest first.
| Date | Page | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| 18 Oct 2026 | All JB projects | Took down one more project page, with its Chinese, Malay and Indonesian versions, and removed the links to it, because the developer does not allow its project names to be advertised. |
| 9 Oct 2026 | How I verify a project | New page explaining how every project page is checked: developer documents, the KPKT TEDUH advertising permit and register, labelled prices, and what is never published. |
| 9 Oct 2026 | All project pages | Added a short enquiry form under each project, one main heading per page, a share image for links, and machine-readable records of the KPKT register tables so search and answer engines can cite them. |
| 9 Oct 2026 | All JB projects | Took down two project pages again. They were republished in error; the developers do not allow their project names to be advertised. |
| 9 Oct 2026 | Aspira Hills | Noted that the KPKT register lists Phase 1A as behind schedule. |
| 9 Oct 2026 | All JB projects | Added 32 Johor projects, including 19 landed estates and new launches. Every new launch shows its advertising permit, permit price band, construction progress and keys date from the KPKT register. |
| 9 Oct 2026 | Johor project pages | Added “Jason’s take”, a short labelled opinion, to Johor project pages in English, Chinese, Malay and Indonesian. |
| 8 Oct 2026 | Project lists | Project cards now show the best photo, a one-line reason to look, key facts, and filters for budget, property type and distance to a train station. |
| 30 Sep 2026 | All JB projects | Added 43 new project fact sheets from developer project summaries and KPKT TEDUH records, including industrial and commercial parks. Taken down two project pages because those developers do not allow their project names to be advertised. |
| 30 Sep 2026 | MBW Bay: Vista Tiara | Corrected the tower breakdown (towers 4 to 6 and towers 7 and 8), the bedroom range and completion status, using the developer’s July 2026 approved advertisement. Removed a statement that Florian Residences was a separate later phase. |
| 30 Sep 2026 | Top 10 project pages | Added photos with credits, unit layouts, facilities, getting around, common questions and nearby projects. |
| 30 Sep 2026 | Footer, all pages | Added the agency registration number and office phone number, as required for estate agency advertising. |
| 29 Sep 2026 | Privacy Policy | Added a Bahasa Malaysia version. |
| Sep 2026 | Buying from India | Corrected: the guide had suggested a Malaysian bank loan as a funding option for Indian residents. India’s foreign exchange rules generally do not allow this, and the guide now says so. |
| Sep 2026 | 6 hidden costs | Rewritten to focus on the ongoing costs of owning a property, to match the video it is based on. |
| Sep 2026 | All guides | Updated for the flat 8% stamp duty for foreign buyers of residential property from 1 January 2026, and Johor’s 3% consent levy from 1 July 2025. |
