Yachtie Mortgage Example:

Purchase price: 500.000€
Down payment: 150.000€
Loan amount: 350.000€
Rate: 3.25%
Term: 20 years
Monthly payment: 1.986€ + insurance

This mortgage is a variable rate mortgage, based on a margin of 1,30% above the 3 month EURIBOR index for a duration of 20 years
The current rate for 20 years is 2,9%

Your monthly repayment is fixed for 12 months and revised annually.

The advantage of this mortgage is that if the interest rates rise considerably, the monthly repayment will never increase more than the rate of inflation; therefore, you maintain constant repayments in relation to inflation throughout the term of the loan. The term of your loan will increase or decrease according to the interest rate applicable (with a maximum of 5 years more for a loan of 20 years
For an example: for an amount borrowed of 350 000 € and a duration of 20 years, the monthly repayment will be 1985 €/month + insurance.
The inflation last year was 1,7%. If we keep the same inflation and if the rate increase, your monthly repayment will be capped at 1985 € and the duration could stay the same or could be changed (if the variation of the rate is important).

This yachtie mortgage offers the possibility :
- to make a total repayment without penalty at any repayment date.
- to change to a fixed rate at any repayment date.
- to modulate the amount of your monthly repayment according your budget
- to transfer the loan to a new purchase

LOAN APPROVAL WITHIN SEVEN WORKING DAYS

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT. CHANGES IN THE EXCHANGE RATE MAY INCREASE THE STERLING EQUIVALENT OF YOUR DEBT.
