Q: Which interest rate is best for me?

What is fixed interest rate? In this formula, you benefit from an interest rate which will be identical for the entire duration of the execution of the loan / mortgage credit. This is a particularly interesting formula when rates are low and likely to increase over time. Currently interest rates are historically low and this is therefore the ideal formula. What is the semi-fixed interest rate? In this formula, you benefit from a fixed rate for a period of 10 years and then a rate review takes place. This formula is interesting when rates are likely to increase in the future. What is the graduated interest rate? In this formula, you repay more interest than capital. The monthly payments are linked to the index and increase by €30 to €40 every two years. This is a particularly interesting formula for young people whose professional salary is expected to increase over the course of their career.

Question 1

What documents do I need to apply for credit?

nathalie · Accepted Answer

The identity card of each borrower in order of validity or a valid passport. If the borrower is a foreigner but resides in Belgium or Luxembourg, he/she will have to present a Luxembourg resident card or a Belgian residence card. The last 3 original salary slips of each borrower as well as the last 3 bank statements proving the collection of your salary on your bank account.

Question 2

How long does it take for the borrowed funds to be deposited into my account?

A H · Accepted Answer

Once your credit contract is signed in our offices, your money is paid into your bank account within 24 hours. If you are a resident of Luxembourg, you will have to wait 48 hours and if the amount of the credit is superior to the sum of 25.000,00 €, a delay of 3 working days is required.

Question 3

I am married, can I borrow alone or does my wife have to sign the credit contract with me?

adeline · Accepted Answer

If you are married under the legal community regime or without a marriage contract, you cannot borrow alone and in this case, your wife or husband must sign the credit contract with you. If you are married under the regime of separation of property, you can sign a credit contract alone.

Question 4

How long is the mortgage loan?

Accepted Answer

The duration of the credit can be spread over a period of 10 to 30 years depending on the age of the borrower(s) and the amount of the loan.

Over this duration, two cycles can be distinguished:

the “depreciation(s) of capital” i.e. repayment of capital to the credit provider. In a word, the repayment of the amount lent to you.
the “interest” that must be paid by the borrower.
It is always in your interest to repay the capital as quickly as possible and therefore to favor a fixed rate mortgage loan/credit for the shortest possible duration.

For what ? Because the more capital you repay, the less interest you will have paid upon closing the loan/mortgage credit contract.

Question 5

What are “conditions precedent”?

Accepted Answer

These are clauses indicated in the sales agreement which condition the birth of the legal effects of the loan / mortgage credit contract on the fulfillment of one or more conditions stipulated concretely in the notarial deed. The condition being in this case obtaining the agreement of the bank. It is therefore above all a protection for the future buyer in the event that his credit request is refused by the banking organization.

Thus, when you sign your sales agreement, it will be subject to the suspensive condition that you obtain your loan/mortgage credit within the time limit set when signing the sales agreement before the notary or with the real estate agency.

Concretely, this means that if you do not obtain your loan / mortgage credit within the agreed deadline, it is void (cancelled) unless you obtain an extension of the deadline to obtain your loan / mortgage credit.

In this case, things are returned to their original state and each party to the sales agreement is released from their obligations. The seller could thus agree to sell his property to another candidate buyer who would sign a new notarized sales agreement.

At Crédit Populaire Européen, we are committed to giving you a quick response so that you can notify the seller as quickly as possible.
