#1 You can now search in Bahasa Malaysia
Visitors to the website now have the option to toggle between EN and BM –displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the landing page – to access their preferred language. Every section of the website is not only available in Bahasa Malaysia but also boasts exclusive content and features, which can be found under the Berita & Gaya Hidup (News & Lifestyle) tab.
The Bahasa Malaysia version also features the latest version of LoanCare and will also allow users to play around with the features to refine their search to include preferred state, type of property, minimum and maximum price, square foot of space as well as the number of bedrooms.
#2 Instant Home Eligibility Report from up to 17 banks
Want to know if you can afford the property of your dreams? Well the newest version of Loancare, iProperty.com.my’s Home Loan Eligibility Indicator will surely help you out. Introduced in April 2019, the free and simple online tool allows consumers to compare and calculate their home loan eligibility instantly across 17 banks.
Loancare users will also be able to get a personalised home loan eligibility report by just providing their email address. The report will display the list of banks and the corresponding rating ranging from Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor or Not eligible. This will provide consumers with an indication of the property price points that they will be able to afford and also the home loan they are able to qualify for.
#3 Point-of-Interest search
You may have found the home of your dreams but is it in the right neighbourhood? This is where the customised Point-of-Interest feature comes in. Besides location, property type and price, liveability is another important factor for most property seekers.
The customised Point-of-Interest is integrated to the maps of the property you are viewing, thus helping you make a better decision in terms of how convenient it is for you to access your favourite/frequently-visited places (Your Places) such as your office, child’s school and favourite mall.
