Taking out a new mortgage

So you’ve decided to buy a home? Clarify your financial situation, search for the perfect property and find a mortgage.

What to consider when taking out a mortgage

1. Keep an eye on interest rates

Familiarize yourself with the market by monitoring interest rates changes.

2. Work out what you can afford

Use a mortgage calculator to work out what you can afford and how much your monthly payments are likely to be. Don’t forget that you can withdraw retirement savings ahead of time in order to purchase a property.

3. Think about how many tranches you would like

Mortgages are often split into multiple tranches. If you split your mortgage into two tranches, one on a five-year and the other on a ten-year term, you will have to remortgage in five years’ time. At this point, you will have to accept whatever deal your lender offers you. Clients who are able to redeem the maturing tranche are in a better position to negotiate.

4. Compare before you sign

Before you take out a mortgage, compare the deals available from multiple lenders to ensure you get the best one. You can also take advantage of the expertise offered by HypoPlus, the mortgage specialists of the Comparis group. Your personal adviser will compare the best rates on the Swiss market and negotiate on your behalf – with the HypoPlus approach: independent, professional and straightforward.
