Buy, Sell & Rent Penang Properties

Properties in Penang are one of the most expensive in the country. Due to scarcity of land, properties in Penang is highly desired. If you are planning to buy, sell or rent property in Penang, it is important that you do your homework carefully before signing on the dotted line.

At Penang Travel Tips, I try my best to help prospective property buyers get the best out of every deal. I do this by evaluating hundreds of properties in Penang, providing buyers with unbiased reviews based on my knowledge of Penang, such as proximity of amenities, traffic condition, public transport availability, and so on. At the same time, I encourage property buyers to discuss among themselves the various properties in Penang, whether apartments, housing estates or condominiums, so that they get a realistic idea of present market value. I set up the Penang Residential Property Facebook Group for that purpose.

If you are planning to buy, sell, rent or lease out a property in Penang, it is important that your interest is taken care by a reliable realtor, preferably one attached to a prominent real-estate agency. Your realtor should provide you a realistic expectation and guide you through the steps in the real-estate transaction.

Between buying a property that has yet to be constructed directly from the developer, against a completed unit from a first-hand owner, my preference is the latter. With a completed unit, you have a chance to view exactly how the property looks like, and not base your purchase on the artist's glorified imagination. Also, as the property is now physically tangible, you are able to make use of it right away, whether to stay in it, or to rent out.

If you have engaged a reliable realtor, you should stick with it for your future property transactions. However, if you do not yet have a realtor, write to me, and I will recommend one to you.

It is impossible for me to insulate every property buyer from bad deals, but with all the information that I have provided, my hope is that property buyers seek out my advise and make informed decisions before signing on dotted lines.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
