South Link Bangsar South Auction: Dual-Key Unit 52-23 — Past Auction (Held 24 September 2026)
A dual-key unit at South Link Bangsar South went to bank auction on 24 September 2026 and was sold at RM620,000. The reserve price was RM567,000 against an estimated market value of RM700,000–720,000. This page is kept as a record of that auction. What made this one worth a closer look wasn’t just the discount: it was a dual-key layout, meaning it functions as two separately-rentable units under one title.

2. Why the Dual-Key Layout Matters
A dual-key unit splits into two independently lockable, independently rentable sides sharing one title — effectively two rental incomes from one purchase.
Based on asking rents for comparable South Link units in September 2026:
| Side | Est. Monthly Rent |
|---|---|
| Side A | RM 2,500 |
| Side B | RM 1,800 |
| Combined | RM 4,300 / month |
At the RM567,000 reserve price, that worked out to approximately 9.1% gross rental yield — well above South Link’s typical estimated yield of ~5.6% for standard units (see our full South Link review), because the auction discount plus dual income compound together. At the RM620,000 sold price, the same rent works out to about 8.3% gross.
3. Layout Reference
The unit’s official Proclamation of Sale floor plan was not published online. As a reference, South Link’s Type D layout — the closest standard unit type to this one’s footprint — is shown below from the developer’s official floor plan set. Note this reference plan is 721 sf as a standard (non-dual-key) 2 Bedroom + Study configuration; the actual auction unit is 710 sf and has been reconfigured into a dual-key split (see Section 1). Treat this as illustrative of the building’s general layout style, not the exact as-built plan for Unit 52-23.
Configuration for auction unit 52-23 specifically:
- Side A — 1+1 (RM2,500 rent): 1 bedroom + a study room, own entrance, own bathroom, own kitchenette/living area. The study is a genuine convertible space — walled or partially enclosed, not just an open nook — so it can function as a second bedroom for a tenant who needs it, or stay as a home office/study.
- Side B — Studio (RM1,800 rent): single open-plan living/sleeping space, own entrance, own bathroom, own kitchenette.
- Combined: 2 bedrooms-equivalent (1 fixed + 1 convertible) and 2 studios-equivalent living areas across 710 sf total — a genuinely flexible dual-key split rather than two identical halves.
- Shared: single title, single utility meter setup typical of dual-key (verify individual sub-metering exists, or budget for internal cost-sharing arrangement between tenants).
4. Location & Connectivity
Same building as our full South Link review — Unit 52-23 shares the same access:
- 🚶 Universiti LRT Station — approx. 0.7km
- 🚶 Kerinchi LRT Station — approx. 1.0km
- 🏢 South Link’s own retail podium — co-working space, F&B, convenience store, downstairs
- 🛣️ Federal Highway / DUKE 3 — directly adjacent via Kerinchi Link

5. Bidding Preparation — What Bidders Needed (the Same for Any Bank Auction)
- ✅ 10% deposit — bank draft or online transfer, based on the reserve price, prepared before registering to bid.
- ✅ Due diligence — inspect the exterior, review the Proclamation of Sale (POS), confirm loan eligibility with your bank, and check for outstanding maintenance fees or utility charges that transfer with the unit.
- ✅ As-is-where-is — this is a bank auction; there is no negotiation on condition. Factor renovation/cleanup costs into your numbers.
- ✅ Registration — contact Christopher Wong at +601188881709 to be guided through registration for the next Bangsar South auction. This auction is closed.
6. Is This a Live-In or Investment Play?
Both were realistic for this unit, and the same applies to any dual-key unit:
- Pure investment: Rent both sides separately for a combined RM4,300/month — strongest yield case.
- Live-in + income: Occupy Side A or B yourself, rent the other side to offset your loan repayment.

Conclusion
A dual-key unit at a below-market reserve price was a genuine opportunity in Bangsar South, and this one sold at RM620,000, which is RM53,000 above the reserve. Units like it come up from time to time — but a bank auction is not the place to skip due diligence. If you want to bid on the next one, get your loan pre-approval and Proclamation of Sale review done well before auction day.
