Owning a new home is no longer a dream now. EcoWorld’s HOPE is a comprehensive home ownership solution for purchasers to kick-start their journey as homeowners or upgrade to their choice of EcoWorld homes.

STAY2OWN (S2O), in partnership with Maybank HouzKEY, is an adaptation of Maybank’s existing HouzKEY product featuring new and improved aspects incorporated in partnership with EcoWorld.

Under this programme, Maybank will help bridge the property ownership process by first purchasing the property and then leasing it to the prospective homeowner. Participants are able to live in the home immediately and experience the environment before deciding to purchase. Those presently renting and want to stay in an EcoWorld project can move in now with the confidence they can become homeowners eventually.

What makes this attractive is the low initial cost of only three months’ refundable rental deposit. Also, monthly payments have been structured to be similar to the market rental rate and are very affordable for aspiring new homebuyers.

At least 30% of the rental paid may be converted into savings when the Option to Purchase is exercised, which will be used to offset part of the purchase price of the home, making it even more affordable to own.

First time homebuyers and upgraders who do not have more than one housing loan are eligible to apply for S2O.

Meanwhile, the HELP2OWN (H2O) financing scheme lets you own your dream property via a mortgage. Under this programme, buyers need to just pay 5% and secure a 70% bank loan, while the rest will be handled by the developer to help customers secure their dream home in any of EcoWorld’s many developments.

“We believe HOPE offers a great opportunity not only to first time house buyers but also upgraders looking to own a choice EcoWorld home.”

“The two homeownership mechanisms available under HOPE, namely S2O and H2O, cater to different market segments and provide a truly comprehensive, practical and effective solution to the current challenge of home ownership in Malaysia.”

“It is also our way of supporting the national agenda on home ownership,” said Dato’ Chang Khim Wah, President & CEO of EcoWorld Malaysia.

A new HOPE (terms and conditions apply) is here for you to own your dream home. Find out more at https://ecoworld.my/hope/ or visit the EcoWorld Gallery today.

China-based developers have been roped in to offer rent-to-own affordable homes that are built using Industrialised Building System (IBS), says Zuraida Kamaruddin.

The Housing and Local Government Minister said Malaysia had last month inked deals with eight China-based companies to invest in Malaysia, transfer pre-fabrication construction technology, and offer rent-to-own option to buyers.

“But we have imposed a condition that the China-based companies must work together with local companies,” she said.

She said this after launching the National Affordable Home Policy, the National Standard, and Construction Industry Standard at Elmina Centre here Saturday (May 11).

The MoU was signed during the Belt and Road Initiative in Beijing last month, she said.

Zuraida also allayed fears that the China-based companies would pose a threat to local players.

“At present, we only have 11 local companies involved in construction using IBS, and they only have the capacity to build 19,000 units annually.

“With the entry of the China-based companies we can build many more affordable homes to meet our target (to build one million units in 10 years.)

“They (China-based companies) will bring technology and innovation, and invest in IBS factories (to manufacture pre-fabricated building materials).

“With IBS technology, we can lower the cost of construction in terms of lower cost of material, lower labour cost, and shorter timing (to complete construction),” she said, adding that it would also reduce dependence on foreign labour.

She said by using IBS technology, 500 homes could be built within six months.

On whether local companies would also offer rent-to-own scheme to help buyers own homes without the burden of paying deposits, Zuraida said the authorities were still negotiating with local banks.

She said the price of affordable homes was capped at below RM300,000, and that the cost differed according to locality, town and state.

Zuraida also announced that an IBS Academy would be set up in Awana Kijang, to train locals on IBS building techniques.

“Using this technology, building homes would no longer be regarded as a 3D (dirty, difficult and dangerous) job,” she said.
