According to the negotiator, Freeman Woo Chee Meng of MIP Properties, the buyer is a Malaysian who bought the unit for his own use. However, when the tenant who was already living on the property requested to renew the lease for one more year, the owner decided to rent it out for RM13,000 per month.
“With monthly rental of RM13,000, it means more than 5% yield,” Woo says. “Most units here are occupied by expatriates or leased by companies.”
