Property Law by George Miranda | 2025

“I am confident that this book will stand out as a key text for reading and reference for anyone keen on property law in Malaysia … It will be the guiding light to help all who have to navigate the labyrinth of legal provisions and case law where property rights and obligations are concerned.”

— From the Foreword by Dato’ Lee Swee Seng, Judge of the Federal Court

Property law is more than just a set of ownership rules; it functions as a crucial driver of wealth creation, security, and economic strength. For individuals, reliable property rights serve as the basis for building homes and shaping their future. For businesses, they open the way for investment, expansion, and sustainable growth. For nations, fair and transparent property laws encourage stability and strengthen global competitiveness.

When property law is clear, it reduces both personal and economic barriers by simplifying transactions, preventing disputes, and building trust among parties. With predictable and just legal frameworks in place, people and organisations can channel their energy into innovation and development rather than dealing with legal uncertainties.

What This Book Covers:

This book spans the spectrum of property law, from its core principles to pressing modern issues such as the revival of abandoned properties, ESG concerns in real estate, and sustainable financing. It is designed to balance the need for both legal clarity and forward-looking solutions.

Foundational chapters—including Introduction to Property Law, Indefeasibility of Title and Interest, and Leases and Tenancies—equip readers with essential knowledge, while specialised chapters—such as Legal Framework for Abandoned Property Development Projects, Legal Framework for ESG Regulations for Property, and ESG Financing and Sustainability-linked Loans Case Studies—demonstrate how property law continues to evolve in response to contemporary demands.

Serving as a practical resource, this book is intended for property law practitioners, developers, financiers, judges, investors, and all other stakeholders engaged in the property sector.
