Before you sign at Arte S β the commercial-title checks
- 1.Utility tariff in practice β Commercial title usually means commercial TNB and water rates. Ask current owners what they actually pay monthly, not what the brochure implies.
- 2.Financing margin β Some banks cap loan-to-value lower on commercial-title residential units. Get an in-principle approval before you pay a booking fee.
- 3.Short-stay house rules β Serviced-apartment does not automatically mean Airbnb is allowed. Read the current house rules β management can and does restrict short-stay letting.
- 4.Resale buyer pool β Commercial title narrows who can buy from you later. Make sure the entry price reflects that, not just the location.
- 5.Maintenance rate per sq ft β Compare the psf maintenance charge against nearby residential-title blocks. On big units the annual gap is meaningful.

Verified sub-sale asking prices. Asking is not transacted β expect movement between the two.
The building is 8 years old. Still young. The defects liability period has long expired, so anything outstanding is now the management corporationβs problem and, through the sinking fund, partly yours. Check what was actually rectified.
A foreign buyer can purchase here β the RM1M minimum is cleared by the larger units, though not at the entry price. Add the state levy, a flat 8% stamp duty and 3β4 months for state consent.
Selling rather than buying? The RPGT rates and the 21B retention decide what you keep β and if you are near the five-to-six-year line, the date matters more than the price.
