Home Equity Loan Fees

When you have taken out a 20% equity loan, the repayment amount is 20% of the actual value of your real estate. When the value of your home decreases, the amount you repay also decreases, so you are safe when real estate values drop after the purchase.

Repay your equity loan within 25 years (or if your loan period ends, if it is less than 25 years) or if you are selling your home, whichever comes first. We do not offer fines for early repayments of your equity loan. It is not possible to carry over an existent loan to a new real estate object.

For more information on how to repay the loan and how much you can anticipate for the management charge from the sixth year, see the Help to Buyers Guide of the Federal Authorities. Management of payments of fees by purchasers for equity loan after five years of possession.
