Assur-IA supports households and the self-employed with a clear treatment of "Personal loan and car leasing" — premiums, deductibles, deductions and responsibilities — without replacing individual tax or legal advice.

The nearest municipalities — Wil (3 km), Hüntwangen (4 km), Eglisau (4 km) — each have their own local page as well. Below you will find the relevant reference points for a first assessment.

Mortgage and financing in Rafz: rate, affordability, protection
Anyone buying or renewing a mortgage in Rafz 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
