Buying Your First Home in Sarawak: 5 Things You Should Know
Start Your Journey to Homeownership with Confidence
Last Updated June 4, 2025

Thinking of buying your first home in Sarawak? Whether you’re newly married, starting a family, or simply ready to move out of the rental cycle, purchasing a house is a major milestone. With the right information, your journey can be smoother—and much more rewarding.
Here are 5 essential tips to guide you in buying your first house in Kuching or anywhere in Sarawak
Understand Your Budget and Financing Options
Before falling in love with a house, it’s crucial to know what you can afford. Explore your loan eligibility with different banks and compare interest rates. First-time buyers in Malaysia can also enjoy benefits like the My First Home Scheme (Skim Rumah Pertamaku) and stamp duty exemptions.
At TSW Sarawak, we work closely with trusted financial institutions to assist buyers in securing flexible and competitive housing loans.
Choose the Right Developer
Your home is a long-term investment, so choosing a developer with a solid track record is important. Look for one that delivers on time, uses quality materials, and has good customer service.
TSW Sarawak has built a reputation for crafting affordable homes in Kuching that don’t compromise on design, space, or functionality. Our projects in Matang and Petra Jaya are thoughtfully planned for modern family living.
Why Location Matters
The best homes are not just well-built—they’re well-located. Consider factors such as distance to schools, shops, hospitals, and your workplace.
Areas like Taman Wangsa 3 in Matang are ideal for families and first-time homeowners. You’ll find peace and quiet while still enjoying quick access to essentials like Emart Matang, local schools, and even Damai Beach for weekend getaways.
Think Long-Term and Future-Proof
A house is not just for now—it’s for the future. Will it still fit your lifestyle in 5 to 10 years? Look for features like:
• Extra rooms for future kids or a home office
• Large car porches for growing families
• Safe and peaceful neighborhoods for children
TSW homes are designed with spacious layouts that allow your family to grow without outgrowing your space.
Visit the Show Unit and Ask Questions
Photos can only show so much. Visiting a show house lets you experience the space, layout, and finishing firsthand. Don’t hesitate to ask about materials used, expected handover dates, and after-sales service.
