I see. I'm a bit surprised, I thought Pr1ma vetted all applications to make sure it matches eligibility criteria. Apparently, they didn't really look into the applicants ability to get a loan. As for Pr1ma Lakefront, that link I gave mentioned that more than 8700 applications were made for the ~1900 available units. With that kind of number, even with 75% loan rejection rate, there'd still be enough applicants to fill the vacancies.
By the way, I don't really understand how Pr1ma applicants can fail to get such small loans. The units only costs RM270k if I'm not mistaken, so ~RM320/sqft. That's peanuts for a household income of RM10k/month. Now, eligibility has even been extended to household incomes up to RM15k/month. My household income is below that, yet I can easily afford Lakefront Residence and settle the loan in just a few years.
The cost is RM 280k I think.
To be honest with you, not only that the loan rejection rate is high for PR1MA projects, the other thing is, many people who registered, backed off!
Reason being is that, when they applied for PR1MA, they didn't have a house. But due to a very long waiting list and they also do not know whether they'll be lucky for their names to be balloted, so they have already bought their own homes or have made other kinds of arrangements.
That's why you see that even if you have many applicants, in the end many units cannot be sold.
This is the fact, you can even go and see Alam Damai. Almost completing, but at least 30% are unsold. You yourself can go and apply for the units today if you want, provided that you meet the eligibility criteria.
