KUALA LUMPUR: Rahim & Co International Property Consultants (Rahim & Co) has marked a significant milestone in Malaysia’s real estate industry with the announcement of its strategic affiliation with UK-based Chestertons Global (Chestertons).
The affiliation represents a new chapter of partnership between two established companies in the local and international property markets, strengthening presence and professional real estate services across Malaysia and worldwide. This change reflects their commitment to innovation, growth and dedication to providing exceptional services to their clients.
“We now operate 23 offices, from Sabah and Sarawak in East Malaysia to the (northern) states across the country. But in order to grow further, we are working with Chestertons,” Rahim & Co executive chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Abdul Rahman told StarProperty.
The affiliation will enable Rahim & Co to access Chestertons’ extensive expertise and resources, facilitating the introduction of cutting-edge solutions to the Malaysian market, he said.
Similarly, Chestertons managing director Mohamed Mussa said his group will benefit from Rahim & Co's established presence in Southeast Asia, strengthening its foothold in the region. “We are excited to see how we can use technology, thought-leadership and our combined resources to enhance our collaboration,” he enthused,
The changing landscape of the Malaysian property market seen since the turn of the millennium has not only recovered and weathered through multiple challenges but it has also evolved and become more sophisticated.
Abdul Rahim noted that the nation is seeing a clear flight to quality, driven by ESG expectations and demand for high‑performance assets. With continued business-friendly policies and improvements in Malaysia’s major infrastructure, from transportation systems to enhanced digital backbone, Malaysia is well-positioned as a hub for investments, data centres and advanced industries.
"This affiliation represents a significant step forward in our commitment to delivering exceptional value to our clients. By combining our strengths, we aim to create new opportunities for growth and innovation. Our clients today think beyond borders. Malaysian investors want access to Mayfair, Manhattan and Melbourne. At the same time, international capital from London, Dubai, Shanghai and beyond is looking to Malaysia as a stable, high‑yield destination. The Rahim & Co Chestertons brand is our response to this shift. We are the bridge connecting Malaysia to the world and the world to Malaysia,” said Abdul Rahim.
Chestertons shares in this enthusiasm. "Chestertons is excited to work alongside Rahim & Co International Property Consultants. This partnership will allow us to tap into the vibrant Malaysian market while sharing our expertise in a broad range of property services," added Mohamed Mussa.
Both companies provide a comprehensive range of property services, including valuation, estate agency, research and consultancy and property and facilities management, creating a comprehensive roadmap to enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. Both companies will also explore joint initiatives aimed at sustainability and social responsibility, reflecting their commitment to making a positive impact in the communities they serve.
The event was attended by senior representatives from both companies including Rahim & Co’s corporate strategy executive director Alisa M Rahim, real estate agency director Siva Shanker, research and consultancy services director Sulaiman Saheh and Chestertons global operations head and director Parikshat Chawla.
