Key points at a glance
This information page is aimed at people living in Lostorf (roughly 3’952 residents (postal code 4654)), in the canton of Solothurn, who want to organise their insurance, tax matters and cover in line with Swiss law. Assur-IA supports households and the self-employed with a clear treatment of "Mortgage and financing" — premiums, deductibles, deductions and responsibilities — without replacing individual tax or legal advice.
In Switzerland some rules are cantonal (tax rates, deductions, allowances), others federal (LAMal, federal law). In Lostorf, your actual circumstances — renting or owning, employment status, household size, vehicles, cross-border income — therefore shape risk and priorities far more than the postal code. The nearest municipalities — Stüsslingen (2 km), Obergösgen (2 km), Winznau (2 km) — each have their own local page as well. The sections below list the key points to check.

Mortgage and financing in Lostorf: rate, affordability, protection
Anyone buying or renewing a mortgage in Lostorf 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.
Financing goes hand in hand with protection: depending on the situation, lenders require or recommend building insurance, loss-of-earnings or death-risk cover. For tax, mortgage interest is generally deductible — and the trade-off between direct amortisation and indirect amortisation via pillar 3a should be worked out over ten to fifteen years.

- Direct vs. indirect amortisation (pillar 3a) and the tax effect.
