Buying your first home is exciting and yes a bit overwhelming. Loans, fees, documents, jargon… it’s a lot!
Good news: at PropNex, we help first-time buyers every day and we’ve got the must-know tips to make your journey smoother and stress-free.
Let’s get you home-ready
1. Use Government Housing Programs
Before comparing loans, explore schemes like PR1MA and other affordable housing options.
They offer great perks, lower upfront costs, better loan terms and financial support.
Check eligibility early to avoid delays!
2. Boost Your Credit Score
Your credit score is your best friend when securing a good loan.
Pay bills on time, manage debts and check your credit report periodically.
A strong score = easier approvals + lower interest.
3. Plan Your Down Payment
Most loans require 10% down, but paying extra upfront can reduce monthly installments and long-term interest.
Find a balance that fits your budget and goals.
4. Compare Loan Packages
Compare interest rates, lock-in periods, early repayment rules and flexibility.
Even small rate differences can save you thousands.
5. Prepare for “Extra” Costs
Beyond the property price, budget for stamp duty, legal fees, renovation and maintenance.
A 6–12 month emergency fund keeps you ready for surprises.
