It is now possible to borrow for 27 years, if 10% of the total amount of the loan is earmarked for works. It used to be 25 years. It was a decision of December 18, 2023, by the Financial Stability Board. This decision was published in Official Journal of 24 December 2023.

A 27-year loan is conditional: at least 10% of the total amount of the loan must be dedicated to renovation works on the property. This work may involve modernization, reclamation, fitting-out or energy renovation.

Prior to this decision, a 27-year loan was granted if the works represented at least 25% of the loan amount.

Reminder

The HSCF advocates a debt ratio that does not exceed 35% of a household’s monthly income, including mortgage insurance. For a household with a monthly income of €3,000, this represents for example €1,050 per month.

Bridge credits are excluded from the effort rate of 35% of revenue, if they do not represent more than 80% of the value of the sale.
