Malaysia Housing Loan 2013
Sat, 18th May 2013
Hi Everyone,
It’s been a busy week for us.
Thank you so much for visiting our website. We can’t thanks you guys enough.
We do appreciate every single email we received. We will try our best to reply your email ASAP.
So, as we all know election 2013 is done and I think so many chaoses happen here and there.
But, I know every Malaysian would like to know how this new “management team” can help to prosper Malaysia even more. I think, we just have to sit back and hope for greatness.
Back to the housing loan 2013.
We had been doing housing loan long enough and meet so many people from all level of life. We have met bank’s CEO, company’s CEO, Directors, Developer, Politician, Minister, Lawyer, Judge, Businessman, Government staff, Foreigners, Manager and lot’s more.
From the people who have low income to the people who have absolutely many millions in their bank’s account. I would say all these people share one common ground.
You know what?
They believe in property investment.
Why I said that?
Because, whether you are rich or middle income people or even low income, everyone will come to a point in life and will at least purchase or own a house.
It doesn’t matter you going to buy the house for own stay or investment. The most important is to own it now.
I still remember those days, when my dad started our life in Kuala Lumpur. He found a place for us to settle down. It is a kampung or village near Taman Melati. Those days, it’s call kampung wira jaya. We lived in a wooden house.
For you who do not know where it is…The location actually at LRT Taman Melati station. My house was there. Every time, I passing by …I miss my home.
Some of the kampong wira jaya still around to date. We have to shift to a nearby flat house in taman melati to make way for development. The flat cost about RM25k at that time. I think in year 1987/1988. The property is a flat with 2 rooms and 1 bathroom, around 550 sft.
Now, in year 2013, the flat value at RM120k-RM130k. 5 years ago, never cross my mind or any valuers mind, a flat can cross RM100k benchmark. But, now it’s cross.
The conclusion, it doesn’t matter whether the property is low cost or high cost. If you are able to buy and own it, please do so.
Most property will appreciate.
Before buy, check out your developer background, property location, owner background and so on… It’s a hard work, but it’s worth it.
Can you imagine if you are buying condo, terrace houses or townhouse? The value will appreciate double, triple in coming 5-10 yrs or less.
I think you know, some properties in klang valley had done a tremendous job.
If you are able to buy it, just do it now.
The property price is still good and bank interest rates are low.
I started my work with banks in year 2003. Now, i’m doing this almost 10 years.
And if I’m not mistaken, the rates that we have now, will be the lowest within this 10 yrs. I can’t remember that we have lower than the bank offering now.
So, I think property is good and bank rates are good. If you are qualify, just grab the opportunity to own a house now.
We may not able to give much advice on the property location you purchase but we definitely can help you in the housing loan area.
We been know long for our expertise and we are very helpful and friendly people. You can check out our testimonial here.

Housing Loan, Latest Article/News, Refinancing
Hi,
Apa khabar semua? Harapp semua dalam keadaan yang sangat sihat!
Ok, ini kali pertama Melissa menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu.
Kali terakhir menulis masa zaman sekolah-sekolah dulu. Boleh kira bagus jugak masa tu… Tapi sekarang banyak dah bagi balik cikgu.
Kami sedar sekarang kena tulis dalam Dwi Bahasa. Sebab nak rakan-rakan diluar sana faham konsep beli rumah, refinance rumah dan macam-macam lagi.
Tapi sebelum tu, kalau ada tersilap bahasa, mintak maaf banyak-banyak dulu.
Ramai diluar sana bertanya, patutkah refinance rumah atau buat pinjaman rumah sekarang? Atau patutkah kita beli rumah sekarang?
Sebenarnya, tiada jawapan yang sahih. Kami disini agak optimis dengan perkembangan Hartanah di Malaysia.
Walaupun, pada suku tahun yang pertama, transaksi jual beli rumah agak menurun tapi itu cuma kesan pilihan raya. Orang kata “ Deman Pilihan Raya”
Semua rakyat Malaysia sangat teruja nak mengundi, baik tua atau muda, kaya atau miskin, semua dah tak sabar-sabar nak mengundi. Kalau boleh , esok nak mengundi dah….
Yang pengundi berdaftar kali ini telah mengningkat kalau dibandingkan dulu. Baguslah begitu , ramai dah sedar, mengundi adalah tangungjawab kita semua.
Persoalannya, anda mengundi siapa? Biarlah rahsia
antara anda dan kertas undi…
Balik ke cerita asal, kami sedar pada suku tahun yang pertama, ramai yang refinance rumah. Oleh itu, nak bercerita sikit pasal refinance rumah.
Kenapa beriya-iya sangat diaorang refinance rumah?
Apa kebaikan refinance rumah?
Sebenarnya, refinance rumah ada banyak kelebihan. Tapi, faktor utama mendorong refinancing ialah memperolehi “ extra cash” atau duit lebihan.
Dengan adanya duit lebih, bolehlah membaiki atau membuat pengubahsuaian rumah. Lagi-lagi, Hari Raya dah nak dekat, bolehlah beraya di rumah baru dengan sanak saudara berkumpul bersama sama.
Melissa suka hari perayaan, sebab suasana raya sangat seronok dengan gelak ketawa keluarga dan sanak saudara sambil menjamu makanan yang sedap sedap belaka.
Selain mengubah suai rumah, duit lebihan itu boleh disimpan di Amanah Saham ( ASB). Dividen yang disimpan di ASB sungguh tinggi. Dalam 8%-10% setahun.
Manakala, pinjaman perumahan dalam anggaran 4.20% – 4.40% setahun. Bolehlah untung dalam 3-4% setahun.
Sesetengah bank ada memberi pinjaman ASB, tapi kadar faedah pinjaman ASB agak tinggi dibandingkan pinjaman perumahan.
Selain itu, duit lebihan boleh jugak digunakan untuk menyelesaikan hutang-piutang Kad Kredit. Kadar Faedah Kad Kredit yang tinggi boleh menyebabkan sesetengah penghutang tidak mampu membayar balik. Ini telah menyebabkan ramai pemegang kad kredit jatuh bankrap.
Statistik Bank Negara mengenai kes-kes bankrap agak membimbangkan sebab kebanyakannya disebabkan kad kredit. Terutama, anak anak muda yang baru bekerja.
Andai kata, anda berhutang kad kredit RM50,000. Setiap bulan, bayaran minimum ialah RM50,000 x 5% = RM2500. OMG, RM2500 banyak tu! Macam gaji sesetengah orang…
Belum lagi bayar komitment lain… bila gaji terus kering poket…
Tetapi, kalau membuat refinance rumah. Pinjaman rumah RM50,000, bayaran balik dalam RM400-500 sebulan sahaja.
Sekurang-kurangnya, anda boleh membuat perancangan semula perbelanjaan anda. Tidaklah rasa sesak nafas.
Walaupun, pinjaman perumahan mempunyai tempoh pembayaran balik yang panjang seperti 30 tahun, anda masih boleh membuat pembayaran balik awal, tidak semesti 30 tahun, jika ada kemampuan anda boleh membayar balik dalam masa 5 tahun. Itu terpulang pada diri masing masing.
Anda dinasihatkan membuat refinance lebih awal. Janganlah sehingga tidak mampu membayar baru nak membuat refinance.
Sebab, bank juga mesti memastikan ada mempunyai kredit rekod yang bagus. Jika ada pinjaman yang tertunggak, pihak bank pun liat nak bagi pinjaman.
Untuk anda yang diluar sana, jika mempunyai pinjaman perumahan yang melebihi 3 tahun dan masih tiada perubahan dalam kadar faedah. Kami mengalu-alukan anda menghubungi kami.
Kami percaya refinance rumah mungkin langkah yang bijak untuk anda. Kami akan menunjukkan kelebihannya.
Jika anda berminat, sila hubungi kami. Klik sini.
Sehingga berjumpa lagi, salam sejahtera untuk semua!
Sekian.
Melissa.

Refinance Rumah 2013
Hi Everybody,
It’s been a long time since the last Article, while I think now everyone is in the mood of election season.
We know our Election 2013 is around the corner… So, who you’re going to vote ?
Let it’s be secret right?
So, I have plenty people asking if it is wise to apply for a housing loan or refinancing loan? Or even look for property to buy now?
While, there is no correct answer for that…
But, we do optimistic about the property market in Malaysia.
Even though for the 1st quarter the transaction for property market had slow down, but I think because people are in the edge of election.
Everybody is so excited to vote, Malaysia has so many 1st time voters and we know you are excited too
Come back to the story, we realised so many people are refinancing their property now.
For you that have a housing loan for more than 3 years with the same bank, why not let us review your refinancing option?
You can benefit in so many ways. You can get additional cash. From this cash you can do so much more, may be you can use the cash to renovate your house or to pay up your debts.
Since, Hari Raya will be coming soon, you may want to have a renovated and comfortable house to invite your friends and families for gathering.
We love festival season so much, because that is when we come together as a family, out from our busy life. Just sitting down together, shares our laughter and stories. It is so warmth and lively.
For Bumiputra do not forget your privilege. You can use this cash to invest in your Amanah Saham Berhad( ASB), which you can earn higher interest rates ( 8% -10% p.a).
Bear in mind, the housing loan interest rates is estimated 4.20% – 4.40% p.a. This is cheaper than ASB loan offered by bank.
If some of you have some debts to settle. This will be a great way to consolidate all your debt to one housing loan account.
For example, if u have 2-3 credit card outstanding balances, total accumulate may be RM50,000. Monthly you have to pay minimum payment RM50,000 x 5% = RM2500. At least RM2500 per month!! Wow that’s a lot.
However, if you get a refinancing cash out, this RM50,000 only about RM400-500 per month. Depending on your repayment period of course!
But, at least you can breathe guys!! You can re-organise your financial.
I know the instalment lower because the loan spread longer for housing loan. But, you don’t forget, for housing loan, you can pay more if you can afford to.
So, this will loosen your financial and you can at least move comfortably instead of pilling up your entire credit card limit or paying your credit card every 2 months once.
This will definitely hurt your credit conduct badly. Believe me, refinance before too late.
If you out there, have a high housing loan interest rates or you have been with the same bank for more than 3 years without changing any interest rates.
Please, we beg you out there to come and talk to us, we will show you how you can save more.
We promise we won’t bites
Just joking.
Jokes aside, we promise to give you the best advice ever.
What are you waiting?
Until the next article, please do take care!
Sincerely,
Melissa

While, not to waste any time, we recently receive many emails and enquiries pertaining to this issue and we understand sometimes it’s can be confuse with all the “big” word using in the banking world. Therefore, we are here and trying our level best to use the simplest example and words and to make you understand the criteria and requirement needed.
The good things, we will have a Bahasa Malaysia version so wait for it…
What you need to know about My 1st Home Scheme?
LOAN FINANCING AMOUNT
Some banks (not all) in town are offering 100% financing based on Purchase Price or Market Value, whichever is lower.
Example 1:
If your purchase price is RM300,000.Bank valuation is RM300,000.
Bank are willing to give financing up to loan amount RM300,000.
Provided customer able to fulfil the banks and cagamas criteria under this scheme.
Example 2:
If your purchase price is RM300,000.
Bank valuation is RM280,000.
Bank are willing to give financing up to loan amount RM280,000.
Provided customer able to fulfil the banks and cagamas criteria under this scheme.
Why RM280,000 and not RM300,000?
Because, bank will not finance anything above the market price. Banks will not take risk to finance such property.
It’s just mean you are buying the property on the higher price.
PROPERTY

This means any residential property in whole Malaysia which under construction.
For under construction property, not all the banks are able to give financing. You have to check with the respective banks whether they are the project financing bank.
If they say yes, then you have to check with the banks whether they are offering My 1st Home Scheme Package. If yes, for both, then you can apply with the banks.
Please take note, if you are buying leasehold property:
Normal leasehold property is up to 99 years. However, the leasehold balance will be reducing from year to year.
If the property you are buying, the leasehold years balance less than 60 years, then the bank may need to get Cagamas SRP approval.

Housing Loan, Latest Article/News, My First Home Scheme, Uncategorized
Budget 2013 takes account of everyone and nobody is left out. While, I think that’s a good news to most of us. This is the most generous Budget that our Prime Minister had presented.
The budget 2013 proposes benefit for the well-being of all strata of society, covering various sectors and people of different age groups.
So, since this is housing loan website. We will discuss on the impact of housing sector first.
Let us check out what are the goodies
1) RM1.90 billion to build 123,000 affordable units nationwide
While I think, it is good for the government to build more affordable houses for low income people. We, Malaysian really need that as the property prices had been insanely pricey in the latest years.
2) 1Malaysia People’s Housing Scheme (PRIMA) will spend RM500million to build RM80,000 houses of between RM100,000 and RM400,000 in locations including Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam, Johor Bharu, Seremban and Kuantan.
Under PRIMA, more affordable houses will be build and sell at under market value and this definitely delighted for most of us.
3) National Housing Department will construct of 20,454 units under the Rakyat Housing Programme. The price of houses within RM30,000-RM40,000 ( compared with the market price of RM120,000 per unit)
This is for low income people who really need to be taking care and it is good to know government have a thought of them too.
4) Abandoned Housing Project to be revived and tax incentives for rescuing contractors and developers.
While, there will be 30 abandoned projects to be revive and for you that had been servicing interest for abandon project. This is may be for you… Your house will be continued build, no more pain in the pocket.
5) Increase In Real Property Gain Tax (RPGT) to 2 years for 15% and subsequent years ( 3rd – 5th )10%.
While, I know for this we will have mixed argument. Some, will welcome and some otherwise. I do know government will like to reduce property speculation and this does help middle income people who are trying to own a house.
For investors, sorry… I know this is bad news for you. But, I think it is not too bad… Previously, it’s been speculate at 30%. While, the highest is 15% would not affect much.
I save the best for last, for 1st time house buyer, this is for you…
6) GOOD NEWS !!! My First Home Scheme ( MFHS).
To the 1st time house buyer who are in the past struggling to get loan under My First Home Scheme ( MFHS), these amendment definitely are welcome.
So, what are the new amendments?
a) Individual income limit for Housing Loan under My First Home Scheme raised from RM3,000 to RM5,000. Isn’t this great?
We have received a lot of emails in the past stated, if my income RM3100/3200/3300, can I apply for these scheme? While to those people, Congratulations! Your wish had come true.
b) RM10,000 limit for married couples taking joint loans under the scheme.
Yes, RM10,000 is great and good number to comply under the scheme. Thumb up to our PM. I think this will benefit most of the middle income class who are working hard and would like to own a house without much deposit needed. And of course this is especially for married couple only.
c) Requirement for saving equivalent to three months installment and minimum employment of six months abolished.
This is wonderful… You do not need to show saving anymore. Previously, you do need to comply these additional requirements. Some of you may said, if we have saving, we wouldn’t go for the 100% financing right?
d) 50% stamp duty exemption on purchase of first residential property of up to RM350,000 extended to Dec 31, 2014 and raised to RM400,000.
This is definitely sweet… With the rise in the property market like maniac, we are glad the property price had increase to RM400,000, now we have more choices to buy.
Conclusion, definitely a thumb up and kudos to our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for presenting a great and wonderful Budget for housing loan sector.
Now, for you that did not have any house yet, you may want to be prepared or do house searching for next year as these guidelines will be started in 2013.
Good Luck to you

I think Central Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS) was implemented in the end of 90’s where all the borrowing data of customers were send to bank Negara for record keeping. Since then, banks were obliged to send the report within certain time line to Bank Negara.
I still remember when I was in one of the local bank and in the disbursement unit of housing loan. Every month, we have to rush our report to the financial department. The most important we have to make sure that the manual report and the system report are tally. If it doesn’t tally for even 1 cent, we have to dig up all the transaction and check out where the mistakes are.
Sometimes, when we were so fed up of it, we jokingly said, “Oh god, why not we just pay them 1 cent and forget about digging all the stuff out.” But, you know the financial world doesn’t work like that. It’s a fact and figures.
Many people came to us asking about how CCRIS works. Well I can say that CCRIS is update on monthly basis. CCRIS report shows all customers borrowing transaction with all the banks in Malaysia.
Will CCRIS reveal for my borrowing in Singapore?
Well, the answer is “No”.
They are only able to track within Malaysia. However, for bank’s that have branches in Singapore; they may have able to check with their branches there. Basically, in Singapore you have something like CCRIS too. This practise only applicable for certain banks.
From CCRIS report, the banks will be able to track down your original loan amount, outstanding loan amount, your payment conduct for last 1 year, any special attention account remarks, any reschedule loans or whether you are under AKPK (Agensi Kaunseling Pengurusan Kredit). That is a lot of information for the bank to check your capabilities.
By looking at the CCRIS, they will be able to give preliminary view on your financial stand.
Some customers may said, he has a car loan which only under his name but not paying by him. He only lends his name. That’s old stuff. Not working anymore.
In this case, the commitment will be still consider under your name. Because from the bank point of view, in the event of default happen the bank will be chasing you and not your paymaster. So, the obligation of payment still on your shoulder.
Sad things always happen, when this kindness was repaid with bitterness. Well I believe happen to many people out there where the loan was unpaid. The legal messy thing was on your door step. You will receive legal letter from the banks, tons of it. Or you will receive a special visit… and so on. If you are not solving this issue, it’s going to haunt you back when you need to apply for a bank loan in future. The way out ?
Talk to your banks and arrange for reschedule, it can be a little step or payment. But, one day It’s will finish. And hoping you will learn from a great mistakes. Never loan your name for other people borrowing unless you are 200% sure that this person will repay the loan. But still watch out because that commitment will be calculated by the bank under your name. If you are earning a lot, then shouldn’t be any issue.
What happen if you were in Special attention account column in CCRIS?
Well simple. You have to fully settle the loan and inform the defaulted bank that you want the remarks on Special Attention Account remove.
Normally, the bank will remove it. But, still it’s happen to many that it doesn’t. So, it’s your responsibility to keep track until it’s remove from your CCRIS. If it doesn’t remove in your CCRIS, and you are applying for a loan, the chances are high for other bank to decline your case. This is crucial and you must do it.
I have a client who had a special attention account due to he doesn’t paid for his Credit card Stamp duty. However, he no longer used the card, well prior to the cancellation there is stamp duty charge which he is not aware until he is applying for a loan.
Ironically, he called up the bank and insist them to remove it’s quickly. But, it’s really mess up the loan process and it’s taking longer than it should be. At last the things remove and he manage to get an approval. Well, not every time things will have a happy ending and i believe you do not want to be in that situation.
It’s hard especially when you are buying a house from owner or agent, they keep pushing for signing SPA and your loan yet to approve. You really in chaos and pressure are everywhere.
I can keep talking about CCRIS for as long as I want too. As there are hundred of CCRIS I saw before and some are very unique case. And of course most are good ones.
Well my advice, if you are planning to buy a house in any short period. Please make sure your payments are in good shape. Unsure about your payment conduct, please go to Bank Negara and print your CCRIS report, this is a free service. Check for any unhealthy conduct or information on the CCRIS. Sometimes, there is mistakes make on the CCRIS. So, just double triple check it. After print the CCRIS report, if you need help, you can always consult the bank Negara staff. They are very helpful.

We have received numerous emails and questions from customer who want to get the best home loan in town.
But, the question is Do you know what consist of the best home loan?
Most customers will answer the lowest interest rates… Is this the answer for you too?
Ok, I know interest rates are important. There always other things which more important than interest rates…which is Loan Approval. Let me explain why.
ABC Bank may offer the best deal in town. Let said, they are offering BLR-2.50%. And of course as a customer, you would definitely want to grab the offer. So, you applied. 2 weeks later, they said. “Sorry sir, your loan had been declined by our management for whatsoever reason.”
2 weeks passed, if you are buying from agent or owner. You get caught in the situation because you have 14 days to sign the SPA and yet to get the bank loan approval.
Now you have to re-apply for 2nd or 3rd best banks which may offer BLR-2.30% or 2.40%. Sad part… it will take another 1-2 weeks for approval.
We always highlight to our customer Interest Rates is important but is not as important as Loan approval. You must have loan approval first before negotiate for better rates. This is truly to safe guard yourself.
Housing loan is a long term commitment, it’s take 10, 20 , 30 or even 40 years to finish servicing the instalment. So, it is important to choose the most suitable housing loan, you must know which housing loan product works best for you.
Sometimes, when bank offering a good rates, you have to look at other terms and conditions in the letter offer. So, what to watch out in the letter offer? We are only able to shares some general information. You need to look at the interest rates, penalty period, penalty fees, late payment, the product feature, hidden charges, processing fees, any top up on the lawyer fees and so on…
One great Salesman told me this, “ KFC will never said McDonald serve the best burger, so do McDonald will never said KFC serve the best and delicious Fried Chicken in town. They only focus on their product. What they have, they served you. They will never mention things they don’t sell or compliment their competitor.”
Same goes to the banks, the banks will only sell their product. They will never mention about others.
We are the one need to be Smart consumer and choose the best deal out of the offer given.

Housing Loan, Latest Article/News, Valuation
Today, I received a call from a client of mine. The story is like this.
Earlier, he was trying to buy a Double Storey in Puchong for about RM450,000. Due to, his history in credit payment, he was afraid to put a booking beforehand. So, he tried to apply with 1-2 banks for the loan. And the loan was approved.
So, when he tried to put a booking then. The owner had increase the price to RM480,000. Surprisingly, there is another buyer for this price. And he was very upset about this but there isn’t anything he can do about it.
So, now he is trying to buy another property. Is a town house villa in Puchong. The price given by the agent is RM280,000 for upper unit. The townhouse is a brand new one. So, I try to view internet for this particular property and so many advertisement on the net stated the price is ranging RM220k to RM260k . For RM280k will be way more expensive.
I called him back and try to highlight this to him. He said, he did notice about this. But, when he called the agents, (controls by a group of same agent) all of them are quoting this RM280k range. According to the agents, the property had gone up since they advertise. So, I was wondering this is really crazy sales! Properties are still selling at HOT Cakes!
The property are selling much higher than the internet price. Last trend was when we saw any price in internet, normally the price had been increased by the agent, and normally the bank valuation will be lower than the agent price because agents tend to increase the price.
My advice to all new property buyers please be careful when purchasing a house. If the bank valuation is lower than the price you purchase, you have to top up the different.
Please check out our simple example here:
Example 1:
Property Price : RM300,000
Bank’s valuation : RM250,000
Loan can apply : RM250,000 x 90% = RM225,000
Deposit need to pay to owner RM300,000-RM225,000 = RM75,000
In actual you only need to paid RM30k ( 10% of SPA) but due to bank valuation is lower, customer have to Top Up RM45k.
Example 2:
Property Price : RM300,000
Bank’s valuation : RM310,000
Loan can apply : RM300,000 x 90% = RM270,000
Deposit need to pay to owner RM30,000.
No top up required.
If this happen to you, this is good. Its show you are buying a cheaper property. By signing SPA you already gain gross profit RM10,000.
Example 3:
Property Price : RM300,000
Bank’s valuation : RM300,000
Loan can apply : RM300,000 x 90% = RM270,000
Deposit need to pay to owner RM30,000.
No top up required.
This is normal. You are not gaining or losing money.
If you yet to buy any property, I think now is a good time to buy before everything become more difficult and expensive.

1st Time Home Buyer, Latest Article/News, My First Home Scheme
I’ve been reading many publicity and news about My 1st Home Scheme. Although, when the news first broke down by our Prime Minister, everyone welcome such a scheme with an open heart. Even though, government have a good intention to help people, but the Scheme has many weaknesses and flaws.
After one year of implementation and execution, you can see the number of applications and approvals are very frustrating.
As announced by Bank Negara (BNM), the latest figures on the progress of the scheme, as at of end-January, revealed as follows:
Total People had Applied for the Scheme : 1624
Less : Withdrawn due to multiple application to various financial institution : 562
Therefore, Actual application: 1062
Approved Application: 382 (36.60%)
Rejected Application: 505 (47.50%)
Remaining Application, still being processed: 168 (15.80%)
You have to remember, the above number are for whole Malaysia. Approved application stand only 382 among the multiple banks. I believe the numbers quite low.
Don’t forget more people are being rejected upfront by the banks before submitting for the application because of the strict terms and conditions imposed. These numbers are not recorded. If it’s does, you can see a huge number.
So, let me highlight again the main terms and conditions that are very strict among the banks.
1) GROSS INCOME.
To apply for this housing loan, your GROSS INCOME must be lower than RM3000. If your income is slightly higher, then just forget about it. Bank’s must follow the guidelines given by Cagamas and Bank Negara.
2) DEBT SERVICE RATIO
Debt Service Ratio under this Scheme must be 1/3 of your income or 50% must support with saving.
Basically, if you are earning Gross income RM3000 per month and yet to deduct others deduction, It is difficult to comply with these terms.
Let me show you:
Gross Income RM3000
- EPF RM330
- Socso RM5.00
- Income Tax RM51
Net Income RM2614.00
For RM220,000 for 30 years, instalment per month estimate RM1154.00
With the above Net income, the Debt Service Ratio is 44%. Which exceeded 1/3 but still within 50%. But, for Debt Service Ratio exceeded 1/3 must support with saving. This will be subject to bank’s approval.
For above assumption, we yet to add any car loan, personal loan or credit cards, even without any commitment the Debt Service Ratio is still unrealistic.
Nowadays, if you do not have any commitments or facilities with the banks, the chances are high for the banks to turn down your application. The reason behind this is the bank would like to track customer payment characteristics.
So, for the above case, you only allow to apply for credit cards and make sure your credit cards fully paid up monthly.
For many of us, we are not fall under this “PERFECT” category.
3) NEED TO PAY MORE UPFRONT
Yes, it’s true. We have to accumulate our saving to pay from our own pocket first. This scheme definitely not for people who do not have saving. If you do not have cash to pay the 10% deposit, then this is not the scheme for you.
I understand what you think when this scheme launch. Everyone thought,” This is Good News! I do not need to come up with any cash.” But, you are “ BIG WRONG”
Let me explain…
Firstly, if you are among the lucky one who get approval under this scheme. You still have to prepare with this. My example only on RM220,000 property. I do not want to go further to RM400,000 property, the amount will be more.
Property Price : RM220,000
Loan Amount Approved : RM220,000
Sales and Purchase Agreement (estimate) : Lawyer fees & other fees is about 3-4% of Purchase Price , RM6600.00
• Regardless, any scheme, you have to pay for your SPA lawyer fees.
Loan Agreement (Estimate) : Lawyer fees & other fees is about 2-3% of Loan Amt : RM4400.00
• Under 1st Home Scheme, you are not able to finance this amount to your loan. Normal loan are allow.
10% deposit : RM22,000.00
• Most of the owner/developer, not agree to wait for such a long time for the 10% to be pay. Therefore, if owner disagree, you have to pay owner first. Few months later the bank will reimburse the amount to you. If the Owner/developer agree, then is beneficial for you.
Add up all the cash, the total amount you have to prepare will be RM33,000.00
So, if young people who do not have saving or help from other families member, then it is a tough situation.
We receive many emails a day and I would said 90% are not qualify for the scheme.
I really hope government will heard us and make amendment on the terms and conditions to fits the current criteria and work hand in hand with the banks.
We do need to help our younger generation to own a house.
The most important, we are not here to judge but hoping the related parties will hear us.
For purchaser under 1st time home scheme who required 100% loan financing, BEFORE YOU PURCHASE ANY HOUSE, YOU ARE ADVISABLE TO MAKE SURE your eligibility by referring to the below criteria as per below links :

Malaysia Housing Loan 2013
Sat, 18th May 2013
Hi Everyone,
It’s been a busy week for us.
Thank you so much for visiting our website. We can’t thanks you guys enough.
We do appreciate every single email we received. We will try our best to reply your email ASAP.
So, as we all know election 2013 is done and I think so many chaoses happen here and there.
But, I know every Malaysian would like to know how this new “management team” can help to prosper Malaysia even more. I think, we just have to sit back and hope for greatness.
Back to the housing loan 2013.
We had been doing housing loan long enough and meet so many people from all level of life. We have met bank’s CEO, company’s CEO, Directors, Developer, Politician, Minister, Lawyer, Judge, Businessman, Government staff, Foreigners, Manager and lot’s more.
From the people who have low income to the people who have absolutely many millions in their bank’s account. I would say all these people share one common ground.
You know what?
They believe in property investment.
Why I said that?
Because, whether you are rich or middle income people or even low income, everyone will come to a point in life and will at least purchase or own a house.
It doesn’t matter you going to buy the house for own stay or investment. The most important is to own it now.
I still remember those days, when my dad started our life in Kuala Lumpur. He found a place for us to settle down. It is a kampung or village near Taman Melati. Those days, it’s call kampung wira jaya. We lived in a wooden house.
For you who do not know where it is…The location actually at LRT Taman Melati station. My house was there. Every time, I passing by …I miss my home.
Some of the kampong wira jaya still around to date. We have to shift to a nearby flat house in taman melati to make way for development. The flat cost about RM25k at that time. I think in year 1987/1988. The property is a flat with 2 rooms and 1 bathroom, around 550 sft.
Now, in year 2013, the flat value at RM120k-RM130k. 5 years ago, never cross my mind or any valuers mind, a flat can cross RM100k benchmark. But, now it’s cross.
The conclusion, it doesn’t matter whether the property is low cost or high cost. If you are able to buy and own it, please do so.
Most property will appreciate.
Before buy, check out your developer background, property location, owner background and so on… It’s a hard work, but it’s worth it.
Can you imagine if you are buying condo, terrace houses or townhouse? The value will appreciate double, triple in coming 5-10 yrs or less.
I think you know, some properties in klang valley had done a tremendous job.
If you are able to buy it, just do it now.
The property price is still good and bank interest rates are low.
I started my work with banks in year 2003. Now, i’m doing this almost 10 years.
And if I’m not mistaken, the rates that we have now, will be the lowest within this 10 yrs. I can’t remember that we have lower than the bank offering now.
So, I think property is good and bank rates are good. If you are qualify, just grab the opportunity to own a house now.
We may not able to give much advice on the property location you purchase but we definitely can help you in the housing loan area.
We been know long for our expertise and we are very helpful and friendly people. You can check out our testimonial here.

Housing Loan, Latest Article/News, Refinancing
Hi,
Apa khabar semua? Harapp semua dalam keadaan yang sangat sihat!
Ok, ini kali pertama Melissa menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu.
Kali terakhir menulis masa zaman sekolah-sekolah dulu. Boleh kira bagus jugak masa tu… Tapi sekarang banyak dah bagi balik cikgu.
Kami sedar sekarang kena tulis dalam Dwi Bahasa. Sebab nak rakan-rakan diluar sana faham konsep beli rumah, refinance rumah dan macam-macam lagi.
Tapi sebelum tu, kalau ada tersilap bahasa, mintak maaf banyak-banyak dulu.
Ramai diluar sana bertanya, patutkah refinance rumah atau buat pinjaman rumah sekarang? Atau patutkah kita beli rumah sekarang?
Sebenarnya, tiada jawapan yang sahih. Kami disini agak optimis dengan perkembangan Hartanah di Malaysia.
Walaupun, pada suku tahun yang pertama, transaksi jual beli rumah agak menurun tapi itu cuma kesan pilihan raya. Orang kata “ Deman Pilihan Raya”
Semua rakyat Malaysia sangat teruja nak mengundi, baik tua atau muda, kaya atau miskin, semua dah tak sabar-sabar nak mengundi. Kalau boleh , esok nak mengundi dah….
Yang pengundi berdaftar kali ini telah mengningkat kalau dibandingkan dulu. Baguslah begitu , ramai dah sedar, mengundi adalah tangungjawab kita semua.
Persoalannya, anda mengundi siapa? Biarlah rahsia
antara anda dan kertas undi…
Balik ke cerita asal, kami sedar pada suku tahun yang pertama, ramai yang refinance rumah. Oleh itu, nak bercerita sikit pasal refinance rumah.
Kenapa beriya-iya sangat diaorang refinance rumah?
Apa kebaikan refinance rumah?
Sebenarnya, refinance rumah ada banyak kelebihan. Tapi, faktor utama mendorong refinancing ialah memperolehi “ extra cash” atau duit lebihan.
Dengan adanya duit lebih, bolehlah membaiki atau membuat pengubahsuaian rumah. Lagi-lagi, Hari Raya dah nak dekat, bolehlah beraya di rumah baru dengan sanak saudara berkumpul bersama sama.
Melissa suka hari perayaan, sebab suasana raya sangat seronok dengan gelak ketawa keluarga dan sanak saudara sambil menjamu makanan yang sedap sedap belaka.
Selain mengubah suai rumah, duit lebihan itu boleh disimpan di Amanah Saham ( ASB). Dividen yang disimpan di ASB sungguh tinggi. Dalam 8%-10% setahun.
Manakala, pinjaman perumahan dalam anggaran 4.20% – 4.40% setahun. Bolehlah untung dalam 3-4% setahun.
Sesetengah bank ada memberi pinjaman ASB, tapi kadar faedah pinjaman ASB agak tinggi dibandingkan pinjaman perumahan.
Selain itu, duit lebihan boleh jugak digunakan untuk menyelesaikan hutang-piutang Kad Kredit. Kadar Faedah Kad Kredit yang tinggi boleh menyebabkan sesetengah penghutang tidak mampu membayar balik. Ini telah menyebabkan ramai pemegang kad kredit jatuh bankrap.
Statistik Bank Negara mengenai kes-kes bankrap agak membimbangkan sebab kebanyakannya disebabkan kad kredit. Terutama, anak anak muda yang baru bekerja.
Andai kata, anda berhutang kad kredit RM50,000. Setiap bulan, bayaran minimum ialah RM50,000 x 5% = RM2500. OMG, RM2500 banyak tu! Macam gaji sesetengah orang…
Belum lagi bayar komitment lain… bila gaji terus kering poket…
Tetapi, kalau membuat refinance rumah. Pinjaman rumah RM50,000, bayaran balik dalam RM400-500 sebulan sahaja.
Sekurang-kurangnya, anda boleh membuat perancangan semula perbelanjaan anda. Tidaklah rasa sesak nafas.
Walaupun, pinjaman perumahan mempunyai tempoh pembayaran balik yang panjang seperti 30 tahun, anda masih boleh membuat pembayaran balik awal, tidak semesti 30 tahun, jika ada kemampuan anda boleh membayar balik dalam masa 5 tahun. Itu terpulang pada diri masing masing.
Anda dinasihatkan membuat refinance lebih awal. Janganlah sehingga tidak mampu membayar baru nak membuat refinance.
Sebab, bank juga mesti memastikan ada mempunyai kredit rekod yang bagus. Jika ada pinjaman yang tertunggak, pihak bank pun liat nak bagi pinjaman.
Untuk anda yang diluar sana, jika mempunyai pinjaman perumahan yang melebihi 3 tahun dan masih tiada perubahan dalam kadar faedah. Kami mengalu-alukan anda menghubungi kami.
Kami percaya refinance rumah mungkin langkah yang bijak untuk anda. Kami akan menunjukkan kelebihannya.
Jika anda berminat, sila hubungi kami. Klik sini.
Sehingga berjumpa lagi, salam sejahtera untuk semua!
Sekian.
Melissa.

Refinance Rumah 2013
Hi Everybody,
It’s been a long time since the last Article, while I think now everyone is in the mood of election season.
We know our Election 2013 is around the corner… So, who you’re going to vote ?
Let it’s be secret right?
So, I have plenty people asking if it is wise to apply for a housing loan or refinancing loan? Or even look for property to buy now?
While, there is no correct answer for that…
But, we do optimistic about the property market in Malaysia.
Even though for the 1st quarter the transaction for property market had slow down, but I think because people are in the edge of election.
Everybody is so excited to vote, Malaysia has so many 1st time voters and we know you are excited too
Come back to the story, we realised so many people are refinancing their property now.
For you that have a housing loan for more than 3 years with the same bank, why not let us review your refinancing option?
You can benefit in so many ways. You can get additional cash. From this cash you can do so much more, may be you can use the cash to renovate your house or to pay up your debts.
Since, Hari Raya will be coming soon, you may want to have a renovated and comfortable house to invite your friends and families for gathering.
We love festival season so much, because that is when we come together as a family, out from our busy life. Just sitting down together, shares our laughter and stories. It is so warmth and lively.
For Bumiputra do not forget your privilege. You can use this cash to invest in your Amanah Saham Berhad( ASB), which you can earn higher interest rates ( 8% -10% p.a).
Bear in mind, the housing loan interest rates is estimated 4.20% – 4.40% p.a. This is cheaper than ASB loan offered by bank.
If some of you have some debts to settle. This will be a great way to consolidate all your debt to one housing loan account.
For example, if u have 2-3 credit card outstanding balances, total accumulate may be RM50,000. Monthly you have to pay minimum payment RM50,000 x 5% = RM2500. At least RM2500 per month!! Wow that’s a lot.
However, if you get a refinancing cash out, this RM50,000 only about RM400-500 per month. Depending on your repayment period of course!
But, at least you can breathe guys!! You can re-organise your financial.
I know the instalment lower because the loan spread longer for housing loan. But, you don’t forget, for housing loan, you can pay more if you can afford to.
So, this will loosen your financial and you can at least move comfortably instead of pilling up your entire credit card limit or paying your credit card every 2 months once.
This will definitely hurt your credit conduct badly. Believe me, refinance before too late.
If you out there, have a high housing loan interest rates or you have been with the same bank for more than 3 years without changing any interest rates.
Please, we beg you out there to come and talk to us, we will show you how you can save more.
We promise we won’t bites
Just joking.
Jokes aside, we promise to give you the best advice ever.
What are you waiting?
Until the next article, please do take care!
Sincerely,
Melissa

If your purchase price is RM300,000.Bank valuation is RM300,000. Bank are willing to give financing up to loan amount RM300,000. Provided customer able to fulfil the banks and cagamas criteria under this scheme.
Example 2: If your purchase price is RM300,000. Bank valuation is RM280,000. Bank are willing to give financing up to loan amount RM280,000. Provided customer able to fulfil the banks and cagamas criteria under this scheme. Why RM280,000 and not RM300,000? Because, bank will not finance anything above the market price. Banks will not take risk to finance such property. It’s just mean you are buying the property on the higher price. |

Housing Loan, Latest Article/News, My First Home Scheme, Uncategorized
Budget 2013 takes account of everyone and nobody is left out. While, I think that’s a good news to most of us. This is the most generous Budget that our Prime Minister had presented.
The budget 2013 proposes benefit for the well-being of all strata of society, covering various sectors and people of different age groups.
So, since this is housing loan website. We will discuss on the impact of housing sector first.
Let us check out what are the goodies
1) RM1.90 billion to build 123,000 affordable units nationwide
While I think, it is good for the government to build more affordable houses for low income people. We, Malaysian really need that as the property prices had been insanely pricey in the latest years.
2) 1Malaysia People’s Housing Scheme (PRIMA) will spend RM500million to build RM80,000 houses of between RM100,000 and RM400,000 in locations including Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam, Johor Bharu, Seremban and Kuantan.
Under PRIMA, more affordable houses will be build and sell at under market value and this definitely delighted for most of us.
3) National Housing Department will construct of 20,454 units under the Rakyat Housing Programme. The price of houses within RM30,000-RM40,000 ( compared with the market price of RM120,000 per unit)
This is for low income people who really need to be taking care and it is good to know government have a thought of them too.
4) Abandoned Housing Project to be revived and tax incentives for rescuing contractors and developers.
While, there will be 30 abandoned projects to be revive and for you that had been servicing interest for abandon project. This is may be for you… Your house will be continued build, no more pain in the pocket.
5) Increase In Real Property Gain Tax (RPGT) to 2 years for 15% and subsequent years ( 3rd – 5th )10%.
While, I know for this we will have mixed argument. Some, will welcome and some otherwise. I do know government will like to reduce property speculation and this does help middle income people who are trying to own a house.
For investors, sorry… I know this is bad news for you. But, I think it is not too bad… Previously, it’s been speculate at 30%. While, the highest is 15% would not affect much.
I save the best for last, for 1st time house buyer, this is for you…
6) GOOD NEWS !!! My First Home Scheme ( MFHS).
To the 1st time house buyer who are in the past struggling to get loan under My First Home Scheme ( MFHS), these amendment definitely are welcome.
So, what are the new amendments?
a) Individual income limit for Housing Loan under My First Home Scheme raised from RM3,000 to RM5,000. Isn’t this great?
We have received a lot of emails in the past stated, if my income RM3100/3200/3300, can I apply for these scheme? While to those people, Congratulations! Your wish had come true.
b) RM10,000 limit for married couples taking joint loans under the scheme.
Yes, RM10,000 is great and good number to comply under the scheme. Thumb up to our PM. I think this will benefit most of the middle income class who are working hard and would like to own a house without much deposit needed. And of course this is especially for married couple only.
c) Requirement for saving equivalent to three months installment and minimum employment of six months abolished.
This is wonderful… You do not need to show saving anymore. Previously, you do need to comply these additional requirements. Some of you may said, if we have saving, we wouldn’t go for the 100% financing right?
d) 50% stamp duty exemption on purchase of first residential property of up to RM350,000 extended to Dec 31, 2014 and raised to RM400,000.
This is definitely sweet… With the rise in the property market like maniac, we are glad the property price had increase to RM400,000, now we have more choices to buy.
Conclusion, definitely a thumb up and kudos to our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for presenting a great and wonderful Budget for housing loan sector.
Now, for you that did not have any house yet, you may want to be prepared or do house searching for next year as these guidelines will be started in 2013.
Good Luck to you

Latest Article/News
I think Central Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS) was implemented in the end of 90’s where all the borrowing data of customers were send to bank Negara for record keeping. Since then, banks were obliged to send the report within certain time line to Bank Negara.
I still remember when I was in one of the local bank and in the disbursement unit of housing loan. Every month, we have to rush our report to the financial department. The most important we have to make sure that the manual report and the system report are tally. If it doesn’t tally for even 1 cent, we have to dig up all the transaction and check out where the mistakes are.
Sometimes, when we were so fed up of it, we jokingly said, “Oh god, why not we just pay them 1 cent and forget about digging all the stuff out.” But, you know the financial world doesn’t work like that. It’s a fact and figures.
Many people came to us asking about how CCRIS works. Well I can say that CCRIS is update on monthly basis. CCRIS report shows all customers borrowing transaction with all the banks in Malaysia.
Will CCRIS reveal for my borrowing in Singapore?
Well, the answer is “No”.
They are only able to track within Malaysia. However, for bank’s that have branches in Singapore; they may have able to check with their branches there. Basically, in Singapore you have something like CCRIS too. This practise only applicable for certain banks.
From CCRIS report, the banks will be able to track down your original loan amount, outstanding loan amount, your payment conduct for last 1 year, any special attention account remarks, any reschedule loans or whether you are under AKPK (Agensi Kaunseling Pengurusan Kredit). That is a lot of information for the bank to check your capabilities.
By looking at the CCRIS, they will be able to give preliminary view on your financial stand.
Some customers may said, he has a car loan which only under his name but not paying by him. He only lends his name. That’s old stuff. Not working anymore.
In this case, the commitment will be still consider under your name. Because from the bank point of view, in the event of default happen the bank will be chasing you and not your paymaster. So, the obligation of payment still on your shoulder.
Sad things always happen, when this kindness was repaid with bitterness. Well I believe happen to many people out there where the loan was unpaid. The legal messy thing was on your door step. You will receive legal letter from the banks, tons of it. Or you will receive a special visit… and so on. If you are not solving this issue, it’s going to haunt you back when you need to apply for a bank loan in future. The way out ?
Talk to your banks and arrange for reschedule, it can be a little step or payment. But, one day It’s will finish. And hoping you will learn from a great mistakes. Never loan your name for other people borrowing unless you are 200% sure that this person will repay the loan. But still watch out because that commitment will be calculated by the bank under your name. If you are earning a lot, then shouldn’t be any issue.
What happen if you were in Special attention account column in CCRIS?
Well simple. You have to fully settle the loan and inform the defaulted bank that you want the remarks on Special Attention Account remove.
Normally, the bank will remove it. But, still it’s happen to many that it doesn’t. So, it’s your responsibility to keep track until it’s remove from your CCRIS. If it doesn’t remove in your CCRIS, and you are applying for a loan, the chances are high for other bank to decline your case. This is crucial and you must do it.
I have a client who had a special attention account due to he doesn’t paid for his Credit card Stamp duty. However, he no longer used the card, well prior to the cancellation there is stamp duty charge which he is not aware until he is applying for a loan.
Ironically, he called up the bank and insist them to remove it’s quickly. But, it’s really mess up the loan process and it’s taking longer than it should be. At last the things remove and he manage to get an approval. Well, not every time things will have a happy ending and i believe you do not want to be in that situation.
It’s hard especially when you are buying a house from owner or agent, they keep pushing for signing SPA and your loan yet to approve. You really in chaos and pressure are everywhere.
I can keep talking about CCRIS for as long as I want too. As there are hundred of CCRIS I saw before and some are very unique case. And of course most are good ones.
Well my advice, if you are planning to buy a house in any short period. Please make sure your payments are in good shape. Unsure about your payment conduct, please go to Bank Negara and print your CCRIS report, this is a free service. Check for any unhealthy conduct or information on the CCRIS. Sometimes, there is mistakes make on the CCRIS. So, just double triple check it. After print the CCRIS report, if you need help, you can always consult the bank Negara staff. They are very helpful.

We have received numerous emails and questions from customer who want to get the best home loan in town.
But, the question is Do you know what consist of the best home loan?
Most customers will answer the lowest interest rates… Is this the answer for you too?
Ok, I know interest rates are important. There always other things which more important than interest rates…which is Loan Approval. Let me explain why.
ABC Bank may offer the best deal in town. Let said, they are offering BLR-2.50%. And of course as a customer, you would definitely want to grab the offer. So, you applied. 2 weeks later, they said. “Sorry sir, your loan had been declined by our management for whatsoever reason.”
2 weeks passed, if you are buying from agent or owner. You get caught in the situation because you have 14 days to sign the SPA and yet to get the bank loan approval.
Now you have to re-apply for 2nd or 3rd best banks which may offer BLR-2.30% or 2.40%. Sad part… it will take another 1-2 weeks for approval.
We always highlight to our customer Interest Rates is important but is not as important as Loan approval. You must have loan approval first before negotiate for better rates. This is truly to safe guard yourself.
Housing loan is a long term commitment, it’s take 10, 20 , 30 or even 40 years to finish servicing the instalment. So, it is important to choose the most suitable housing loan, you must know which housing loan product works best for you.
Sometimes, when bank offering a good rates, you have to look at other terms and conditions in the letter offer. So, what to watch out in the letter offer? We are only able to shares some general information. You need to look at the interest rates, penalty period, penalty fees, late payment, the product feature, hidden charges, processing fees, any top up on the lawyer fees and so on…

They only focus on their product. What they have, they served you. They will never mention things they don’t sell or compliment their competitor.”
Same goes to the banks, the banks will only sell their product. They will never mention about others.

Housing Loan, Latest Article/News, Valuation
Today, I received a call from a client of mine. The story is like this.
Earlier, he was trying to buy a Double Storey in Puchong for about RM450,000. Due to, his history in credit payment, he was afraid to put a booking beforehand. So, he tried to apply with 1-2 banks for the loan. And the loan was approved.
So, when he tried to put a booking then. The owner had increase the price to RM480,000. Surprisingly, there is another buyer for this price. And he was very upset about this but there isn’t anything he can do about it.
So, now he is trying to buy another property. Is a town house villa in Puchong. The price given by the agent is RM280,000 for upper unit. The townhouse is a brand new one. So, I try to view internet for this particular property and so many advertisement on the net stated the price is ranging RM220k to RM260k . For RM280k will be way more expensive.
I called him back and try to highlight this to him. He said, he did notice about this. But, when he called the agents, (controls by a group of same agent) all of them are quoting this RM280k range. According to the agents, the property had gone up since they advertise. So, I was wondering this is really crazy sales! Properties are still selling at HOT Cakes!
The property are selling much higher than the internet price. Last trend was when we saw any price in internet, normally the price had been increased by the agent, and normally the bank valuation will be lower than the agent price because agents tend to increase the price.
My advice to all new property buyers please be careful when purchasing a house. If the bank valuation is lower than the price you purchase, you have to top up the different.
Please check out our simple example here:
Example 1:
Property Price : RM300,000
Bank’s valuation : RM250,000
Loan can apply : RM250,000 x 90% = RM225,000
Deposit need to pay to owner RM300,000-RM225,000 = RM75,000
In actual you only need to paid RM30k ( 10% of SPA) but due to bank valuation is lower, customer have to Top Up RM45k.
Example 2:
Property Price : RM300,000
Bank’s valuation : RM310,000
Loan can apply : RM300,000 x 90% = RM270,000
Deposit need to pay to owner RM30,000.
No top up required.
If this happen to you, this is good. Its show you are buying a cheaper property. By signing SPA you already gain gross profit RM10,000.
Example 3:
Property Price : RM300,000
Bank’s valuation : RM300,000
Loan can apply : RM300,000 x 90% = RM270,000
Deposit need to pay to owner RM30,000.
No top up required.
This is normal. You are not gaining or losing money.
If you yet to buy any property, I think now is a good time to buy before everything become more difficult and expensive.

1st Time Home Buyer, Latest Article/News, My First Home Scheme
I’ve been reading many publicity and news about My 1st Home Scheme. Although, when the news first broke down by our Prime Minister, everyone welcome such a scheme with an open heart. Even though, government have a good intention to help people, but the Scheme has many weaknesses and flaws.
After one year of implementation and execution, you can see the number of applications and approvals are very frustrating.
As announced by Bank Negara (BNM), the latest figures on the progress of the scheme, as at of end-January, revealed as follows:
Total People had Applied for the Scheme : 1624
Less : Withdrawn due to multiple application to various financial institution : 562
Therefore, Actual application: 1062
Approved Application: 382 (36.60%)
Rejected Application: 505 (47.50%)
Remaining Application, still being processed: 168 (15.80%)
You have to remember, the above number are for whole Malaysia. Approved application stand only 382 among the multiple banks. I believe the numbers quite low.
Don’t forget more people are being rejected upfront by the banks before submitting for the application because of the strict terms and conditions imposed. These numbers are not recorded. If it’s does, you can see a huge number.
So, let me highlight again the main terms and conditions that are very strict among the banks.
1) GROSS INCOME.
To apply for this housing loan, your GROSS INCOME must be lower than RM3000. If your income is slightly higher, then just forget about it. Bank’s must follow the guidelines given by Cagamas and Bank Negara.
2) DEBT SERVICE RATIO
Debt Service Ratio under this Scheme must be 1/3 of your income or 50% must support with saving.
Basically, if you are earning Gross income RM3000 per month and yet to deduct others deduction, It is difficult to comply with these terms.
Let me show you:
Gross Income RM3000
- EPF RM330
- Socso RM5.00
- Income Tax RM51
Net Income RM2614.00
For RM220,000 for 30 years, instalment per month estimate RM1154.00
With the above Net income, the Debt Service Ratio is 44%. Which exceeded 1/3 but still within 50%. But, for Debt Service Ratio exceeded 1/3 must support with saving. This will be subject to bank’s approval.
For above assumption, we yet to add any car loan, personal loan or credit cards, even without any commitment the Debt Service Ratio is still unrealistic.
Nowadays, if you do not have any commitments or facilities with the banks, the chances are high for the banks to turn down your application. The reason behind this is the bank would like to track customer payment characteristics.
So, for the above case, you only allow to apply for credit cards and make sure your credit cards fully paid up monthly.
For many of us, we are not fall under this “PERFECT” category.
3) NEED TO PAY MORE UPFRONT
Yes, it’s true. We have to accumulate our saving to pay from our own pocket first. This scheme definitely not for people who do not have saving. If you do not have cash to pay the 10% deposit, then this is not the scheme for you.
I understand what you think when this scheme launch. Everyone thought,” This is Good News! I do not need to come up with any cash.” But, you are “ BIG WRONG”
Let me explain…
Firstly, if you are among the lucky one who get approval under this scheme. You still have to prepare with this. My example only on RM220,000 property. I do not want to go further to RM400,000 property, the amount will be more.
Property Price : RM220,000
Loan Amount Approved : RM220,000
Sales and Purchase Agreement (estimate) : Lawyer fees & other fees is about 3-4% of Purchase Price , RM6600.00
• Regardless, any scheme, you have to pay for your SPA lawyer fees.
Loan Agreement (Estimate) : Lawyer fees & other fees is about 2-3% of Loan Amt : RM4400.00
• Under 1st Home Scheme, you are not able to finance this amount to your loan. Normal loan are allow.
10% deposit : RM22,000.00
• Most of the owner/developer, not agree to wait for such a long time for the 10% to be pay. Therefore, if owner disagree, you have to pay owner first. Few months later the bank will reimburse the amount to you. If the Owner/developer agree, then is beneficial for you.
Add up all the cash, the total amount you have to prepare will be RM33,000.00
So, if young people who do not have saving or help from other families member, then it is a tough situation.
We receive many emails a day and I would said 90% are not qualify for the scheme.
I really hope government will heard us and make amendment on the terms and conditions to fits the current criteria and work hand in hand with the banks.
We do need to help our younger generation to own a house.
The most important, we are not here to judge but hoping the related parties will hear us.
