About Marina Residence

Marina Residence is a serviced residence. In Malaysia, a serviced residence is a high-rise home where a management team usually looks after the common areas and shared services. Many buyers and tenants in Johor choose this type of property for the convenience of strata living, because upkeep of the building is handled centrally rather than by each owner. Every serviced residence is different, so compare what Marina Residence offers against other options before you decide. Units come up for sale and rent from time to time, and the listings linked on this page show what is currently available.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or building management to confirm the tenure. Check the title, including whether it is a strata title and whether the individual title for the unit has been issued. Ask for the current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and whether the unit has any outstanding arrears. Find out which facilities residents can use and how access to the building is managed. Serviced residences are sometimes built on commercial land, which can affect utility tariffs and assessment rates, so ask about this too. Always view the unit in person to check its condition, layout and natural light. Tenants should also confirm which furnishings are included and what house rules management has set.
