KUCHING, Aug 17: Maybank launches Enhanced Green Home Financing Solution of 95% + 5 %, offering a higher financing margin for certified green homes in Malaysia.
The 95% + 5% financing covers 95% of the home’s purchase price, plus an additional 5% to be used for credit insurance and takaful, legal fees, valuation, and stamp duties.
Maybank made known the new mortgage package recently in a press release which stated that to qualify for the Maybank Green Home Financing, properties must be certified green by recognised green building rating tools such as the Green Building Index (GBI) or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
Syed Ahmad Taufik Albar, Group CEO, Maybank Community Financial Services said Maybank’s commitment to sustainability is unwavering.
“The continued momentum to grow sustainable home financing portfolio is very much driven by the Group’s early success in achieving all of its sustainable home financing targets in the past three years, including green homes and solar panel projects.
“The launch of our enhanced Maybank Green Home Financing solutions is a testament to our dedication to meeting the growing demand for sustainable housing. Through these innovative financing options, we aim to empower Malaysians to make environmentally conscious choices more affordable while enjoying the benefits of home ownership,” said Syed Ahmad.
The statement also pointed out that over the years, Maybank has continuously forged strategic partnerships with housing developers to ensure that sustainable housing options are available and affordable, further driving the nation’s shift towards a greener future.
A notable example is Maybank’s recent collaboration with RJ Group for d’Isabelle – high-rise condo units with a “detached in the sky” concept. d’Isabelle offers generous and practical 3 bedroom + 1 study layouts and practical layouts with unique concepts where facilities can be accessed via your balcony. Privacy, ample natural lighting and ventilation are achieved through the units being detached from each other.
This was the first Green Building Index (GBI)-certified residential project in Sarawak which also marked the beginning of Maybank’s significant contribution to the region’s growing green landscape. — DayakDaily
