My co-borrower has just passed away. What are the consequences for my current loan?

The credit continues and must be supported by the living borrower. The borrower must contact us and provide us with the death certificate. If the borrower had death insurance, then the insurance will cover all or part of the insured loan. If there is no death insurance, then the living borrower must bear the cost of the loan alone.

Up to what age can I borrow?

There is no age limit for borrowing. Our advisors analyze your situation on a case-by-case basis.

How does the credit application procedure work? Do I need to make an appointment to apply for credit?

If your application is accepted, we will schedule an appointment for you at one of our agencies so that you can sign your credit contract.

I am a tenant. Can I take out a long-term loan (84 to 120 months)?

70% of Belgians own property in Belgium. To the extent that a person who rents does not offer the same guarantees as a person who owns their home, their ability to borrow is limited unless there are exceptions. At CPE we generally limit a tenant’s borrowing capacity to 60 months but there may be exceptions, particularly if a guarantee is agreed with the tenant. In any case, we advise you to purchase your home as interest rates on mortgage loans are historically low. Contact us in this regard.
