What should an international buyer compare?
For an overseas buyer, the decision extends beyond the floor plan. Tenure, title, purchase threshold, state approval, financing, legal costs and the intended use of the home all matter. Cantonment Residences is presented as a freehold residential development with 128 homes in Pulau Tikus.
Can foreigners buy property in Penang?
Foreign buyers may purchase qualifying property subject to the prevailing Penang rules, minimum price threshold and approval requirements. The correct check is against the specific residence and the buyer’s circumstances—not a general marketing statement.
Why Pulau Tikus?
The neighbourhood places hospitals, an international school, daily retail, local food and the Gurney district within a compact part of Penang Island. It works as a full-time base, a family home or a long-stay residence without relying on a future township plan.
