Skim Rumah Pertamaku (SRP) - My First Home Scheme
Sean Wong • October 5, 2021
Skim Rumah Pertamaku (SRP) - My First Home Scheme is a home ownership initiative that was first announced in the 2011 Budget by the Government of Malaysia to assist first time house buyers earning a gross monthly household income of up to RM10,000 (subject to RM5,000 per applicant) to purchase their first home.
The Scheme allows first time house buyers to obtain up to 110% financing from the participating banks, enabling home ownership without having the need to pay a down payment. This is in line with the Government’s aspirations of increasing home ownership amongst the “rakyat”. Cagamas SRP Berhad (“CSRP”) will guarantee up to the first 20% on a ‘first-loss’ basis. This scheme is applicable for residential property for own occupation from the primary or secondary market with a maximum property value of RM500,000.
