Your loan hinges on your Debt Service Ratio (DSR) — how much of your income already goes to repayments. Banks want a healthy DSR, stable income and clean records. To pass, clear small debts before applying, keep your documents in order, and get pre-assessed. All three Shah Alam launches sit under RM500k, which keeps the loan size manageable.
What DSR means
DSR compares your monthly debt commitments (car, cards, personal loans, PTPTN, the new mortgage) to your net income. The lower your existing commitments, the more room you have to borrow. Banks each set their own comfort thresholds, so a strong DSR widens your options and improves your rate.
Documents banks typically want
- Latest payslips (usually 3 months) and EPF statement.
- Bank statements (often 3–6 months) showing salary credits.
- Latest EA form / income tax (BE) for income proof.
- Identity documents and, for the self-employed, business records.
How to strengthen your application
- Clear or reduce small debts (cards, personal loans, PTPTN arrears).
- Keep salary credits clean and consistent for a few months.
- Avoid new commitments (e.g. a car loan) right before applying.
- Get a pre-assessment so you know your realistic ceiling.
💡 Because Sena @ Astrum, Bayu @ Mori Park and Aurora Residences start under RM500k, the loan amounts stay manageable, which helps DSR.
