Developer makes house ownership, umrah trip possible for bumiputra

IJM Land and Andalusia Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd representatives launching the Beli Rumah, Jom Umrah campaign for bumiputra, which is on until July 31.

BUMIPUTRA house buyers who are anxious about finding the funds for their umrah now have some help with IJM Land’s “Beli Rumah, Jom Umrah” campaign.

A collaboration between IJM Land Bhd and Andalusia Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd, one of the top umrah travel agencies in Malaysia, gives potential bumiputra buyers in IJM Land’s Seremban 2, Seremban 2 Heights or Seri Binjai @ Rahang projects the opportunity to travel to Saudi Arabia for the umrah.

IJM Land central region senior general manager Hoo Kim See said the promotion, which ends on July 31, will help partially lift the financial burden off bumiputra house buyers.

“We understand that Muslims see the pilgrimage as a personal success for their spiritually.

“However, embarking on the trip requires a hefty amount from their savings, and purchasing a home is not a walk in the park either. We know both are equally important for them.

“By introducing this promotion, we hope to put their minds at ease,” said Hoo.

For every unit purchased, IJM Land is offering buyers an all-expenses-paid 12-day trip for two to perform the umrah.

The trip will include air tickets, accommodation on a twin-sharing basis at Hilton Towers, Mecca, for six nights and Mawaddah al Waha/Mawaddah al Huda, Madinah for four nights, ground transport and international buffet.

In addition to the trip, IJM Land offers accessible ownership package to assist buyers, ranging from low down payments, 0% interest instalment plans up to 36 months via credit card, free two-year S2 Club subscription fee, subsidy on legal documentation fee and other benefits.

As for IJM Land’s loyal customers, they will enjoy an additional rebate ranging from 1% to 1.5% under the IJM Land’s Purchaser Priority Programme.

Hoo added that bumiputra who wished to buy property but were not ready to embark on their pilgrimage could transfer the trip over to their parents.

“Buying a home is a big investment in life that needs careful financial planning whereas performing the umrah is definitely a privilege of a lifetime and can bring great rewards to the pilgrims.

Some of the properties on sale under the Beli Rumah, Jom Umrah campaign are the 20x70 two-storey link homes priced from RM488,110, 22x70 link homes from RM558,410 and 24x80 super-link homes priced from RM661,010 as well as the two-storey semi-detached homes priced from RM925,110.

Some of the properties are completed and ready for buyers to move in, which involves additional savings in terms of interest.

To top it off, buyers can view the actual property before paying the deposit upon request.

“For us at IJM Land, we want to make house purchases a real possibility,” said Hoo.
