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