The scheme is one of the measures announced by the Government in the 2011 Budget aimed at assisting young adults to own a home. The scheme allows homebuyers to obtain 100% financing from financial institutions, enabling them to own a home without having the need to pay a 10% down payment.
Cagamas SRP Berhad will guarantee the banks on financing above the 90% level i.e. if a borrower obtains 100% financing, Cagamas SRP will guarantee 10% (from 90% to 100%) of the financing.
| 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 purchase price is RM400,000 & Bank valuation is RM400,000. Bank are willing to give financing up to loan amount RM400,000. Provided customer able to fulfil the banks and cagamas criteria under this scheme. Example 2: If your purchase price is RM400,000. Bank valuation is RM380,000. Bank are willing to give financing up to loan amount RM380,000. Provided customer able to fulfil the banks and cagamas criteria under this scheme. Why RM380,000 and not RM400,000? 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 higher price. |
| PROPERTY | Financing property for Market Value or Purchase price ( whichever is lower) to be from RM100,000 to RM400,000.
