Mortgage and financing in Bowil: rate, affordability, protection
Anyone buying or renewing a mortgage in Bowil operates within the usual framework: equity (at least 20%, part of it "hard" equity), an affordability calculation with a notional rate and mandatory amortisation of the second mortgage. Whether a fixed-rate mortgage, SARON or a combination suits you better depends on rate expectations, risk capacity and planning horizon.
Plan the protection at the same time: building cover, loss of earnings and death-risk cover belong in the package depending on the loan-to-value. And it pays to look at the tax details — mortgage interest is usually deductible, and indirect amortisation via a 3a account is often preferable to direct amortisation. A projection over 10–15 years brings clarity.
Work through before signing
- Affordability if rates rise (notional interest rate).
- Rate model: fixed, SARON or mixed — matched to horizon and risk capacity.
- Direct vs. indirect amortisation (pillar 3a) and the tax effect.
