5 mistakes we see first-time buyers make

Most expensive

Paying the booking fee before checking the loan

If the loan doesn't come through, the deposit can be lost. Check your eligibility first — it takes one conversation.

Choosing the package on rate alone

Flexi vs term loan, interest capping, monthly charges and withdrawal terms can matter as much as the rate.

Not knowing what can be waived or financed

Some fees can be financed into the loan or reduced. Many buyers pay upfront without asking.

Being packaged with the wrong insurance

Loan protection should fit you — not the seller's target. Understand what you're signing up for.

Giving up after one rejection

Each bank has different criteria. A rejection from one bank is not a verdict on you.

What's possible

How much of the property can be financed?

Up to 90%

Standard margin of finance for most buyers, subject to your profile and the bank.

Legal & valuation fees

These can often be financed into the loan too, so less cash leaves your pocket on day one.

Short on downpayment or legal fees?

We have structured solutions for buyers in this position, within bank guidelines. Talk to us before you give up on the property.

How banks decide: mainly your DSR — total monthly commitments divided by income — plus your payment record. Under 60% is generally comfortable; above 70% gets difficult with most banks.
Every kind of buyer

Not just first-timers

Upgraders & investors

Planning your next property? We structure loans and DSR across multiple properties so one purchase doesn't block the next.

Self-employed & business owners

Banks focus on your income tax records for the latest 2 years, business type and years in operation. This is one of our most common cases.

Foreigners & expats

Margins depend on where your income comes from. See the foreign buyer guide →

Questions

Home loan FAQ

How much home loan can I get in Malaysia?

It depends mainly on your DSR — your total monthly commitments divided by your income — and your payment record. Most buyers can get up to 90% of the property price. Send us your income and commitments and we'll work out your range.

Can legal and valuation fees be financed?

Often, yes — they can be added to the loan, subject to the bank and your profile.

I don't have enough for the downpayment or legal fees. Can you help?

We have structured solutions for buyers in this position, within bank guidelines. Talk to us before you commit or walk away.

I was rejected by a bank. Can I still buy?

Usually. Banks have different criteria, and the reason for the rejection can often be fixed. We find out why first, then choose the right bank.

I'm self-employed. What do banks look at?

Mainly your income tax records for the latest 2 years, your business type (sole proprietor or Sdn Bhd), shareholding and years in operation.

What documents do I need?

Typically your IC, payslips, EPF statement, bank statements and any existing loan statements. Self-employed buyers also need business and tax documents.

Up to what age can my loan run?

Most banks allow up to age 70. With a joint borrower or under specific criteria, some go to 75 or 80.

When should I talk to you?

Before you pay the booking fee or sign the sale and purchase agreement. Knowing what you can borrow first protects your deposit.
