What to check before buying near Merdeka 118
- Tenure. Leasehold and freehold are priced differently. Ask for the remaining lease period in writing.
- What the unit is approved for. A strata office suite and a serviced apartment have different loan, usage and short-stay rules.
- Completion date. MABA Suitez completes around 2031, so budget for a long holding period and progress payments.
- Rental figures. Treat any quoted nightly rates as reference points, not projected returns, and run your own numbers.
Foreign buyers should also read the 2026 foreign buyer stamp duty rules.
