Mortgages
A dream come true for many: when a pipe dream becomes a home of your own. Having one’s “own four walls” is certainly one of life's major milestones This makes it all the more important to have a solid financing strategy so that you can fully enjoy your new home.
But how do I find the ideal mortgage for my situation? The offering from various banks, insurance companies and pension funds can at first seem confusing.
Therefore, in order to make an informed decision, an independent comparison of providers and mortgage models as well as personalised and situation-specific consultancy are indispensable.

General informations
The future owner is obliged to contribute 20% of the loan value as their own funds, of which at least 10% must not come from second pillar funds. The financing may also comprise additional collateral in the form of other pension funds and life insurance policies or, if necessary, personal contributions.
It should also be noted that any difference between the mortgage value and a higher purchase price must always be financed from the buyer's own funds.
In order to supplement these, pension fund assets may also be withdrawn in advance. However, this can have a considerable impact on the retirement assets as well as the risk benefits; and capital gains tax is incurred. Clarity may be obtained here by comparing advance withdrawal and pledging as well as analysing the pension situation.
