The Government Will Pay The Deposit For Your First Home Under This Scheme

The applications for First House Deposit Financing Scheme or MyDeposit 2018 has been open since 15 December 2017.

The financing scheme was first announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak during Budget 2016. It is aimed at making home ownership possible for first-time homebuyers.

Through MyDeposit, new first home owners are able to get a one-off contribution of 10% on the sale price or a maximum of RM30,000 (whichever is lower). This amount does not need to be paid back as it is a contribution from the government.

Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Deputy Minister Datuk Halimah Mohamed Sadique revealed last month that a total of 1,469 applications had been approved with a payment of more than RM39 million under the scheme.

1. Malaysian
2. Aged 21 and above
3. The applicant is buying a property for the first time
4. Able to secure financing for the property from financial institutions
5. Your gross monthly household income lies between RM3,000 and RM15,000
6. The property must be priced below RM500,000

Do note that the property must be from licensed new housing projects from a licensed housing developer. Housing projects by the federal and state governments such as PPA1M, PR1MA, RUMAWIP, PPR, and MyHome will not be eligible.

It has been stipulated that the properties bought via the MyDeposit scheme cannot be sold for 10 years, effective from Sale & Purchase Agreement date.
