Owning Your Dream Apartment in 2024: Navigating the KPA Requirements and Process

Living in the heart of the city with easy access to amenities is a dream for many. With limited land space in metropolitan areas, apartments have become an ideal housing option for individuals and families.

However, purchasing an apartment outright may not be feasible for everyone. This is where the Kredit Pemilikan Apartemen (KPA), or Apartment Ownership Loan, comes in as a smart solution to owning a vertical residence in the city.

Buying an apartment with KPR?

The good news is that, just like landed houses, in Indonesia apartments can now be purchased with an installment scheme similar to the Home Ownership Credit (KPR) called the Apartment Ownership Credit (KPA).

KPA is a financing solution specially designed to help people own an apartment by paying in instalments.

What is Apartment Ownership Credit (KPA)?

KPA or Apartment Ownership Credit is the solution for you who want to own your dream apartment. Similar to KPR for houses, KPA is a financial product from a bank that allows you to apply for a credit and buy an apartment by paying in installments.

The KPA payment system is similar to KPR. You will pay monthly installments with a predetermined tenor. KPA helps you reach relatively expensive apartments with a lighter payment method.

However, since apartment prices are generally high, KPA requirements may be stricter and can only be met by people with certain incomes. KPA installment tenors are available from 5 to 20 years.

Benefits and advantages of applying for KPA

Apartment Ownership Credit (KPA) is the solution for you who want to own your dream apartment, even if you have limited funds. Just like KPR for houses, KPA allows you to buy a new, used apartment, or even take over the credit from the previous owner.

  • KPA helps you realize your dream of owning an apartment without having to spend all the money upfront.
  • KPA provides a guarantee from the bank in the form of insurance, so you are protected from the risk of credit default.
  • Buying an apartment with KPA, especially with a long tenor, can minimize losses because the selling value of property tends to increase from year to year.

 

KPA Interest Rates: Types and Ranges

Similar to mortgages, KPA (Kredit Pemilikan Apartemen) also has an interest rate system. The interest rate varies across banks, but currently generally ranges between 4% - 8% for well-known developers.

There are two types of interest rates: fixed and floating. Fixed rates typically apply during the first year of installments, followed by a floating rate system. Some banks also offer fixed rates for 1-15 years of the installment period.

Tips for Choosing a KPA Interest Rate

Before choosing a KPA, consider the following:

  • Compare interest rates across several banks.
  • Select the type of interest rate that suits your needs and financial capabilities.
  • Consider the KPA term.
  • Understand all the fees and terms of the KPA.

Choosing a KPA is a significant decision. Consult a financial or banking expert to help you select the right KPA.

  • Indonesian citizen (WNI) with a minimum age of 21 years or already married
  • Have a permanent job (employee, professional, or entrepreneur)
  • Have a good credit score
  • Have worked for at least 1 year
  • pplicant's age must not be more than 65 years when the tenor ends

1. Submission and Analysis

First, visit a bank that provides KPA and fill out the application form. Complete the required files, such as pay slips, proof of income, and personal data. The bank's analyst team will examine the completeness and your ability to pay the instalments.

2. Interview

If you pass the analysis stage, you will be invited for an interview. The bank team will ask about your work, income, expenses, and debts. Answer honestly and openly to convince the bank that you are eligible for a KPA.

3. Credit Agreement

The final stage is the credit agreement before a notary. At this stage, you will sign the KPA agreement document and submit the apartment's legal documents. After the agreement, you are ready to receive the KPA funds and buy your dream apartment!
