Discover reputable developers with new projects across Malaysia
Bursa-listed names such as SP Setia, Mah Sing, IOI Properties, Sime Darby Property, IJM Land, Sunway, EcoWorld, Gamuda Land and UEM Sunrise must publish audited financials and answer to shareholders, which usually means stronger funding and governance. A public listing is reassuring, but still check each developer’s delivery track record on projects similar to the one you are buying.
A developer with no completed projects carries real risk — delays, quality shortfalls, or in the worst case an abandoned (sick) project where you keep servicing the loan with no keys. Verify the Developer Licence (DL) and Advertising & Sales Permit (APDL), and understand your protections before committing.
Read the full guideBefore you sign a Sale & Purchase Agreement, run the developer through five quick checks.
Every housing developer must hold a valid Developer Licence and an Advertising & Sales Permit issued by KPKT. Confirm both are current and that the project address matches the permit before paying any booking fee.
Look at completed projects: were they handed over on time and on spec? A history of on-schedule delivery is the single strongest signal that a new launch will complete.
Bursa-listed developers publish audited accounts you can review; for private developers, gauge financial standing from project scale, bank panel support and how many launches they are juggling at once.
Visit a recently completed project and talk to owners about workmanship and how defects were handled during the Defect Liability Period. Persistent unresolved complaints are a red flag.
Responsive customer service, a working defect-rectification process and a competent property manager for common areas all point to a developer that stands behind its product after handover.
Major names include SP Setia, Mah Sing Group, IOI Properties, Sime Darby Property, IJM Land, Sunway Property, EcoWorld, Gamuda Land and UEM Sunrise.
