Our real estate financing offers at a glance

Fixed-rate mortgage

A fixed-rate mortgage is suitable for you if you want to plan your interest costs for real estate financing over the long term and expect interest rates to rise.

Forward fixed-rate mortgage

A forward fixed-rate mortgage is suitable if you want to lock in your interest costs in advance.

Money market mortgage

A money market mortgage is a form of medium- to long-term real estate financing that is based on short-term interest rates.

Construction loan

A construction loan is suitable for financing new construction as well as alteration or comprehensively renovating an existing property.

Fixed-rate mortgage

A fixed-rate mortgage is suitable for you if you want to plan your interest costs for real estate financing over the long term and expect interest rates to rise.

This is because the interest rate remains unchanged throughout the entire term with a fixed-rate mortgage. It is based on the market conditions at the time the mortgage is concluded. For you, the fixed interest rate means expenses that are easier to budget for, because your charge always remains the same.

Forward fixed-rate mortgage

A forward fixed-rate mortgage is suitable if you want to hedge against rising interest rates at an early stage and lock in your interest costs in advance.

With a forward fixed-rate mortgage, the interest rate can be fixed up to three years in advance. This is subject to a surcharge that depends on the lead time and the term of the mortgage. The most profitable arrangement is to close at a low interest rate level when rising interest rates are expected. Since the interest rate remains constant over the entire term, you can precisely plan your budget.

Money market mortgage

A money market mortgage is a form of medium- to long-term real estate financing that is based on short-term interest rates.

With a money market mortgage, you can benefit from low or falling money market interest rates. However, such a mortgage requires a corresponding risk tolerance and risk capability. Within the framework of the twelve-month term, the interest rate can be redefined in fixed periods (one- or three-month interval). At the end of such a period, you can also make a one-time switch to a fixed-rate mortgage.

Construction loan

A construction loan is suitable for financing new construction as well as alteration or comprehensively renovating an existing property.

With a construction loan, you finance new construction as well as alteration or renovation. A separate construction account on a current account basis allows you to pay the invoices of the companies and tradespersons you commission from a single key account. After completion of the construction phase or at previously defined times, you have the option of converting the construction loan into one of our mortgages. The interest rate of the construction loan is variable and based on trends in the money and capital markets. Interest on debt and credit commissions are settled at the end of each quarter and debited directly from your construction account.
