Frequently Asked Questions
Learn More About Us
Can foreigners legally buy a unit at Jesselton Twin Towers?
Yes. Foreigners can purchase strata-titled residential property in Sabah, provided the price meets Sabah’s minimum threshold for foreign buyers, which has stood at RM600,000 since 2020. You’ll also need State Authority Consent under Section 433B of the National Land Code usually a formality once the price threshold is met, but it typically adds 1–3 months to the process.
How much loan margin (LTV) can a foreign buyer get?
Non-Malaysian buyers without MM2H generally qualify for 60%–70% loan-to-value financing, compared with up to 90% for Malaysian citizens. MM2H visa holders can sometimes access 80%–85% margin, depending on their tier and credit profile. Interest rates for foreign borrowers tend to run slightly above local rates, typically in the 4%–5% range.
Do I need an MM2H visa to buy a unit here?
No, anyone can purchase a unit without holding MM2H. However, MM2H holders often get better loan margins, and under the 2024 three-tier MM2H restructure (Silver/Gold/Platinum), buying property is now a required part of the visa for many applicants, which can make this property relevant to that buyer group.
What stamp duty and legal fees should I budget for?
From 1 January 2026, foreign buyers pay a flat 8% stamp duty on the property transfer instrument (up from the previous 4%). On top of that, budget roughly 1%–1.5% for legal/conveyancing fees, a state consent processing fee, and (if financing) loan agreement stamp duty of about 0.5% of the loan amount. In total, foreign buyers should plan for approximately 9%–13% above the purchase price in transaction costs.
What's the typical booking-to-completion timeline?
For a new launch purchase, the usual sequence is: Letter of Offer with a booking deposit (2%–3%) → signing the Sale and Purchase Agreement with the remaining portion of the 10% down payment → your lawyer applies for State Authority Consent (1–3 months) → progressive payments per construction milestone through to completion and handover. Exact payment schedules and timelines should be confirmed directly with the developer’s sales team.
Is Jesselton Twin Towers freehold or leasehold?
It’s a 999-year leasehold development. While not freehold in the strict legal sense, a 999-year tenure is functionally treated as freehold by most buyers and banks in Malaysia, since it far outlasts any normal ownership or financing horizon.
Is the project completed, or is this a pre-launch?
Jesselton Twin Towers is fully completed, Tower B finished in December 2022 and Tower A in February 2023. Units are move-in ready now. (This means most units changing hands today are resale/sub-sale transactions rather than new-launch purchases directly from the developer worth being upfront about, since it changes the buying process slightly from a typical new-launch flow.)
Can foreigners rent out their unit, including short-term/Airbnb?
Yes, foreign owners can generally rent out their unit long-term without restriction. Short-term rentals (Airbnb-style) are subject to the building’s own house rules and any local council regulations in Kota Kinabalu, so this should be confirmed with the management corporation/JMB before relying on short-term rental income as part of your investment plan.
What tax applies if I sell the unit later (RPGT)?
Real Property Gains Tax for foreign sellers is a flat 30% on the gain if sold within the first 5 years of ownership, dropping to 10% from year 6 onward there’s no 0% tier for foreigners (unlike Malaysian citizens, who reach 0% after 6 years). A standard RM10,000 or 10%-of-gain exemption (whichever is higher) still applies. The buyer’s lawyer also withholds 7% of the purchase price at the point of sale as an advance RPGT payment to the tax authority.
Can I use my MM2H fixed deposit toward this purchase?
Some MM2H tiers allow partial withdrawal of your fixed deposit (commonly up to 50%, after it’s been placed for a minimum period) for an approved use, including a property purchase you’ve committed to. Rules vary by MM2H tier and bank, so this should be confirmed directly with your MM2H-approved bank rather than assumed.
