Mortgage financing: compare independently and structure carefully
Guidance from university-qualified specialists, structured comparison and clear fundamentals for property in Germany and Europe through German lenders.
Essentials
Terms that determine feasibility
Financing becomes easier to plan once the key figures are understood.
- Equity
- Funds contributed from your own resources. More equity will generally reduce the loan-to-value ratio.
- Purchase costs
- Property transfer tax, notary and land-register fees, and possibly agent commission arise in addition to the price.
- Loan-to-value ratio
- The relationship between the loan and the property value, which influences how lenders determine terms.
- Fixed interest period
- The period for which the borrowing rate is fixed. Refinancing is required afterwards at the terms then available.
- Repayment
- The share of each payment that reduces the principal. Higher repayment shortens the term but increases the monthly burden.
Requirements
Income, existing commitments, available equity, the property and its location are commonly reviewed. The lender decides feasibility and terms in each case.
Required documents
Income evidence, proof of equity, property documents and, where available, a draft purchase agreement or land-register extract. Business owners usually need annual accounts.
Property in Europe
Property in Germany and Europe may be financed through German banks. Legal, tax and valuation differences, and potentially restricted saleability, require consideration.
