Looking to buy a new home in Klang Valley and want to ensure you get the best deal?

Before you even begin looking for or viewing properties, you need to know how much you need to save for the deposit. Generally, we recommend saving up between 5 percent and 20 percent of the value of the property you intend to purchase.

When you're buying a home for the first time, it is important to ensure that you can afford the monthly mortgage repayments.

It is recommended that you plan your budget before you consult us for zeroing in on a property. Mortgage lenders carry out stringent checks when you make a mortgage application. These checks relate to whether you're able to afford the mortgage and a stress test on your ability to repay the mortgage if interest rates rise or if there are changes in your circumstances, including starting a family or an approaching retirement date. While applying for a mortgage, you must provide proof of your income and show evidence of outgoings.

PropEasy can guide you on which types of ownership are prevalent in the neighbourhood of your interest and the one more suitable for your requirements. Generally, most standalone homes are of freehold type, while most apartment blocks in Kuala Lumpur are leasehold. While you are entirely responsible for the management and maintenance of a freehold property, the advantages are that there are no charges related to maintenance and concerns related to failure on the part of the landlord to maintain the building. As a freehold owner, you can also decide how you want to maintain your building's exterior and appearance.
