Virtual Reality in Property Industry

February 28, 2022
The property industry has been evolving and changing with the advancement of technology and the challenges of Covid-19. With the effects and restrictions of the pandemic, the property industry must learn to adapt and overcome the many obstacles in order to survive. A game-changer that has been transforming the way we buy and sell homes in Malaysia is virtual reality (VR).
Typically, homebuyers visit multiple properties before deciding on the one they want to buy. This can be very time-consuming and also expensive if the properties are far from where the buyer lives. VR helps solve this by allowing people to virtually visit and experience properties without leaving the comfort of their homes. One can put on a VR headset or simply view from one’s mobile device and view the property.
LBS Bina Group is one of the property developers which has adopted VR with the use of Matterport. By capturing many pictures, the program combines the pictures and creates a 3D replica of the unit. People can now enjoy virtual tours which allow users to view and move within a property unit with just a click of a button.
Part of the VR advancement that has changed how we design and present property to clients includes virtual home staging and architectural visualisation. Virtual home staging helps to virtually fill up an empty unit with furniture and interior design, enabling homebuyers to view fully furnished units. This can save the cost of actually sourcing and buying suitable furniture to furnish a unit. Architectural visualisation creates 3D models that help potential buyers visualise and imagine the architecture of an upcoming property that has yet to be built. These advancements help to create greater emotional connections when comparing the experience of 3D virtual tours and viewing 2D pictures.
VR allows anyone to view the property over long distances through the use of the internet. Clients are able to virtually visit the properties as and when they want, with no time limit to how long spent viewing the property. The customer experience can be further enhanced with add-ons like mortgage calculators and additional information on the property and neighbourhood. This will help clients get all the necessary information about the property before contacting a real estate agent and arranging a physical visit to the house they are interested in.
In conclusion, VR technology has already been transforming the property industry here in Malaysia. Realising the benefits and uses of VR, an increasing number of property developers, real estate property online portals, and others are adopting VR into their business models.

The LBS team is motivated to rise to the challenge of delivering developments in strategic locations while maintaining affordable prices to meet homebuyers’ needs and to win their trust. We will continue to monitor the market and implement appropriate strategies to ensure our operations are not disrupted. We remain optimistic of our growth prospects for 2022.”

Kebaikan dan Keburukan Dalam Membiayai Semula Rumah Anda
D
on
February 21, 2022
Anda masih ragu-ragu untuk membiayai semula atau refinance rumah anda? Sebelum membuat keputusan sama ada untuk teruskan atau tidak, jom bandingkan kelebihan dan kekurangan membiayai semula rumah di dalam artikel ini.
Apabila anda membuat pinjaman baru, anda akan diberi tempoh masa yang baru untuk menyelesaikan hutang. Bagi sesetengah keadaan, tempoh pinjaman yang lebih lama dan kadar faedah yang lebih rendah akan mengurangkan bayaran ansuran bulanan kepada pihak bank.
Salah satu kebaikan refinance rumah yang pernah dikongsikan di dalam artikel kami sebelum ini ialah anda akan mendapat cashback daripada kenaikan nilai hartanah. Jika anda bijak menggunakan cashback ini, ia boleh digunakan untuk menyelesaikan hutang lain dan seterusnya mengurangkan bayaran komitmen bulanan.
Sebagai contoh, anda mempunyai hutang lain seperti pinjaman peribadi, kereta dan motor. Dengan mendapatkan cashback daripada refinance rumah ini, anda boleh melangsaikan hutang lain dan mengurangkann komitmen bulanan. Apabila komitmen bulanan semakin berkurangan, anda akan mempunyai lebihan tunai setiap bulan yang boleh digunakan sebagai simpanan.
Kami kongsikan suatu situasi dan pengiraan mudah:
Ali mempunyai hutang rumah, kereta dan juga pinjaman peribadi. Berikut merupakan pengiraan komitmen bulanan beliau:
Ansuran bulanan rumah semasa: RM 1 100
Ansuran bulanan pinjaman peribadi: RM 300
Ansuran bulanan kereta: RM500
Jumlah komitmen bulanan: RM 1 900
Sewaktu beliau membuat pinjaman rumah 5 tahun yang lalu, harga rumah tersebut ialah RM 238 000, Ali mengambil keputusan untuk refinance rumahnya setelah harga rumah itu naik kepada RM 400 000.
Dengan membuat pinjaman baru katakan dengan kadar faedah 3.1% dengan margin pinjaman perumahan sebanyak 90% selama 35 tahun. Setelah menyelesaikan semua hutangnya, Ali hanya perlu membayar pinjaman perumahan yang baru ini dengan ansuran bulanan sebanyak RM 1,700. Beliau telah mengurangkan komitmen ansuran bulanan beliau sebanyak rm 200 setiap bulan! Teknik ini juga dinamakan debt consolidation atau penyatuan hutang.
Penafian: Pengiraan yang ditunjukkan bukan nilai yang tepat. Jumlah yang dinyatakan hanya sebagai anggaran bagi memudahkan pemahaman. Sila rujuk kadar berdasarkan tawaran yang disediakan bagi setiap bank.
Jika anda bijak memanfaatkan peluang yang ada, ada sesetengah bank akan memberi rebat dan diskaun sekiranya anda menyelesaikan hutang pinjaman perumahan lebih awal. Ini akan lebih menjimatkan wang anda!
Namun begitu, bukan semua pinjaman perumahan yang menawarkan diskaun pinjaman perumahan ya! Anda perlu berhati-hati kerana terdapat pinjaman perumahan yang mempunyai lock in period.
Lock in period ini secara mudahnya membawa maksud anda akan dikenakan penalti kerana menyelesaikan pinjaman perumahan lebih awal daripada tempoh masa yang ditetapkan. Ya, menyelesaikan hutang lebih awal jika tidak kena dengan caranya, menambah hutang anda pula! Jadi, pastikan anda tahu dan faham tentang jenis pinjaman perumahan yang diambil.
Bagi mereka yang beragama islam, mendapatkan jenis pinjaman islamik pastinya merupakan pilihan utama. Jika sebelum ini, pinjaman lama anda berunsurkan pinjaman konvensional, salah satu cara untuk menukar jenis pinjaman perumahan ini juga boleh dilakukan dengan teknik refinance rumah.
Berikut merupakan beberapa kelebihan pinjaman islamik berbanding pinjaman konvensional:
- Kadar keuntungan siling merupakan keuntungan maksimum yang boleh dikenakan di bawah pembiayaan berasaskan jualan. Keuntungan pinjaman adalah berdasarkan kadar BFR Islamik dan boleh diubah berdasarkan keadaan pasaran ia tidak boleh melebihi kadar keuntungan siling.
- Keuntungan akan dicaj berdasarkan prinsipal yang belum dijelaskan tanpa melibatkan unsur kompaun.Dengan tiadanya unsur kompaun, jumlah keuntungan yang mesti dibayar untuk pembiayaan adalah jauh lebih rendah berbanding pinjaman konvensional yang menjadikan caj pembayaran lewat juga lebih rendah.
Salah satu kelebihan pinjaman rumah bersama ialah anda boleh menggunakan nama bersama pasangan untuk mengukuhkan lagi pinjaman dengan menggabungkan sumber pendapatan daripada dua pihak.
Sekiranya, anda dan pasangan sudah stabil dan mungkin berniat membuat pinjaman perumahan baru untuk menambah rumah dan ini rumah yang ketiga, kebiasaannya, margin pinjaman perumahan yang akan diberikan kepada anda dan pasangan ialah 70 % sahaja.
Oleh itu, anda boleh memanfaatkan teknik refinance rumah ini dengan menukar pinjaman perumahan bersama in, tukar pinjaman di atas nama satu individu , suami sahaja (sebagai contoh) dan isteri akan mempunyai suatu lagi kuota margin perumahan sebanyak 90%!
Bukan sahaja sah di sisi undang-undang, anda juga akan menjimatkan lebih banyak wang bagi proses pembelian rumah ini.
Bagi mendapatkan pembiayaan semula ini, anda akan mengalami proses yang sama semula seperti membeli rumah termasuklah yuran penilaian hartanah atau property valuation.
Berikut merupakan beberapa kos lain yang mungkin terpaksa ditanggung oleh anda sebelum mendapatkan cash out atau cash back daripada rumah yang telah dibiayai semula iaitu:
- yuran pemprosesan bank
- bayaran guaman
- duti setem
- yuran perjanjian jual beli (SPA)
- MRTA
Jika kos yuran yang perlu dibayar ini melebihi daripada apa yang anda dapat daripada cashback, mungkin anda patut fikirkan semula keputusan untuk meneruskan pembiayaan semula rumah ini.
Sebenarnya, tempoh pinjaman yang lebih pendek boleh menjadi salah satu kebaikan refinance rumah. Namun begitu, sekiranya anda tidak mampu atau tidak mempunyai pendapatan yang stabil untuk membayar ansuran bulanan yang lebih mahal ini, ia mungkin seolah-olah jerat yang dipasang terkena diri sendiri.
Oleh itu, sebelum membuat keputusan terburu-buru untuk terus membiayai semula pinjaman perumahan hanya kerana ingin memendekkan tempoh pinjaman hanya kerana anda mempunyai pendapatan sekarang, nilai semula risiko ini dalam masa jangka masa panjang kelak.
Apabila anda membiayai semula pinjaman perumahan atau refinance rumah, ia akan mengambil kira nilaian harga pasaran semasa. Ya, mungkin anda seronok mendapat lebihan wang tunai, tetapi jumlah pinjaman anda juga pastinya bertambah mengikut harga semasa rumah tersebut.
Jika anda ingin menggunakan lebihan duit daripada refinance rumah ini pada saat yang terdesak dan segera, mungkin ia bukan pilihan yang sesuai. Memandangkan proses membiayai semula pinjaman perumahan ini perlu melalui proses yang sama seperti membeli rumah semula, ia pastinya mengambil masa.
Secara anggarannya, tempoh masa yang diperlukan bagi semua proses ini mengambil masa 3 hingga 5 bulan jika tiada sebarang masalah. Sekiranya terdapat masalah lain, ia mungkin akan memakan masa yang lebih lama.
5. Risiko dikenakan penalti jika pinjaman ada lock in period
Seperti yang diterangkan sebelum ini, anda mungkin akan dikenakan penalti sekiranya pinjaman tersebut mempunyai lock in period. Jadi, pastikan anda berhati-hati sebelum meneruskan secara terburu-buru untuk terus pembiayaan semula pinjaman perumahan.
Sebenarnya, adakah refinance rumah atau membiayai semula rumah ini mendatangkan lebih banyak kebaikan atau keburukan? Tiada jawapan yang pasti sebenarnya bagi soalan itu. Semuanya bergantung kepada keadaan kewangan anda sendiri, untuk membuat keputusan yang terbaik. Bak kata pepatah, tepuk dada, tanya selera. Kali ini, tepuk dada, tanya situasi kewangan sendiri. Apapun pilihan anda, semoga ia yang terbaik!

These values translate into making big changes in the Year of the Tiger. As we march into the new year with the pandemic still strapped to our back, the Yang energy associated with the Tiger will renew everyone’s spirit and everyone will be fired up once again. Generosity is at an all-time high and it will be a year of risk-taking and adventure. LBS is cautiously optimistic that this will set new benchmarks and we will offer an even wider range of products and services to the market, as according to Tan Sri Lim Hock San, the Executive Chairman of LBS.
2022 will be the year where LBS adapts digitalisation in our operation, while continuing our aim to provide affordable homes for all Malaysians. This cannot possibly be done without the joint effort of everyone from all departments, and for that, we are eternally grateful and humbled by everyone’s continuous support. This year, we hope to emulate the strength and ferocity of the Tiger, living life well and to the fullest while we continue fighting against COVID-19.
Despite the challenges we faced, we have managed to weather through 2021 with resilience and perseverance as a unit. We projected RM1.2 billion sales target but achieved miles ahead instead, at an astonishing amount of RM1.58 billion. Be rest assured that we are not resting on our achievements as there will be 14 new launches planned for 2022 across Klang Valley, Johor, Pahang, and Perak.
As a way to show our appreciation to our home-buyers, LBS has launched a Chinese New Year campaign called “Bring Happiness Home” where we will be offering Ang-Pows for our home-buyers. This is the ideal moment to secure your forever home and make this new year an auspicious one with LBS; the campaign will last till the end of February 2022.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone Happy Chinese New Year. As we prepare to celebrate the Chinese New Year festivities, remember to remain vigilant and practice COVID-19 SOPs to safeguard our family and loved ones. May this new year bring us good health and good fortune. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, may it be a year that outshines the rest! Stay safe and may we all be in high gear in the year of the Tiger!
10 Qualities of a Good Neighbourhood
D
on
January 27, 2022
Anyone who has ever bought a house knows that this can be scary. Sometimes you find out that the house is nothing like you wanted it to be, only to find out too late. That’s why it’s important to know which neighbourhood is the best fit for you.
A truly great neighbourhood feels like it has been created with you in mind. It is well kept, quiet and there is a high level of pride shared by all the residents. Good neighbours enrich a neighbourhood. They check on each other during a crisis, organize charity events and cleaning days, and share tips for good deals. By the same token, bad neighbours can make life miserable. Through loud music or constant traffic, they can disturb the peace of a whole community.
Ask yourself if your new neighbourhood is suited to you. Neighbours represent an opportunity. Maybe you need what they have. Who knows, they may need what you could bring to them? Know that you are not alone in your neighbourhood; find out what the responsibilities of good neighbours are.
They say that the kind of company you keep can have a big impact on the way you live. The same goes for the kind of neighbours you have. A happy neighbour equals happy life. To have good neighbours, you must first become a good neighbour yourself.
We are always trying to look for a good area to live in, a nice house, and most importantly, good neighbours. This will influence the decision to either move to the area or start looking for another area. To help you decide what your needs and wants are, we have compiled a list of 10 essential qualities that make a neighbourhood feel like home.
A good neighbourhood is a safe, friendly place where most people know one another. A strong sense of community and a commitment to family values help keep a good neighbourhood safe for children and women. This will take the worries off your mind if you are a single woman who is living alone or busy parents who are struggling to ensure their children are free from harm.
The ability to freely explore the area on foot and easy access to public transit. Having both of these qualities makes for seamless travel. It’s safe and easy to get around on foot or by bicycle; you can enjoy great places to shop, as well as diverse entertainment and cultural experiences.
- Nearby healthcare centres
- Nearby public services such as police and fire station
- Nearby schools and higher learning institutions
- Nearby public transportation hub
Good neighbours are some of the best people in your life. If you ever help someone carry in their groceries or lend a hand when they are in need, you are being an exemplary neighbour. Although some people think that neighbours are just random people who live on either side of your home, there are some traits that all good neighbours have. These six rules will help you become a better neighbour today.
- Take the time to create good conditions and build relationships with all neighbours.
- Every time a neighbour does something nice, he or she passes it on to at least two other neighbours.
- Good neighbours can be friends, but they do not have to be best friends.
- A good neighbour knows how to bring people together, forcing this neighbourly communication could end up hurting more than helping.
- Neighbours that know how to respect people. Good neighbours teach their children what boundaries mean, literally and figuratively, by explaining where their property ends and their neighbours begin, and what rules are involved.
- Good neighbours will be helpful during difficult times. Offer to help your neighbours with chores, even if it’s just carrying in the groceries.
Being a good neighbour is as easy as being a good soul. If you wish to have a peaceful and safe neighbourhood, then be an ideal neighbour. This will not only teach you to live peacefully but also be responsible for your actions. The tips below are surely going to help you be a good neighbour.
- Good neighbours keep the whole neighbourhood looking beautiful. By keeping up with basic yard work, making sure that the lawn is mowed, hedges are trimmed, and weeds are kept at bay.
- Bring a level of security to a neighbourhood. When a neighbourhood has good neighbours, there tends to be less crime and everyone feels safer.
- Continue seasonal maintenance. Neighbours who beautify their outdoor space with flowers and other greenery set an example for the rest of the street.
- Actively participate in community changes and decisions. Caring neighbours stay informed about community issues and go to the polls.
- Do not fight for the right to celebrate. The politest neighbours inform others of the gatherings and ask that they let them know if it gets too loud.
- Be conscientious about outdoor decorations. Decorating for the holidays is a great way to spruce up your outdoor space, but make it a house rule to take down your haunted houses and fairy lights within a few weeks of the holidays.
