FlexiPayment for your holiday home loan as well

You can adjust your monthly payment in Nordea Mobile and Netbank.

Repayment period of up to 30 years

Together we can prepare a repayment schedule that suits your finances.

Unsecured loan also available

If you need to renovate your holiday home, one good option to consider would be FlexiCredit.

The most flexible holiday home loan on the market

Our holiday home loan is similar to a home loan. You can apply for it in Nordea Mobile or Netbank, and you can negotiate with us on the loan either online or in branch.

Buying a holiday home is also similar to buying an ordinary home. Once you’ve notified us that you’ve found the right property, we’ll call you on the next banking day at the latest.

Our holiday home loan is also flexible, thanks to the same unique FlexiPayment feature as in our home loans. You can use this feature to decrease or increase individual monthly payments free of charge and without having to ask us first. You can add more flexibility by negotiating with us on instalment-free months at the beginning of the loan period.  

How to move from loan application to closing the transaction

Down payment and collateral on a holiday home loan

The holiday home itself is placed as collateral for the loan. But you still need some savings or other collateral to complete the transaction.

The collateral value of a holiday home is usually 75% of its market value, which means you need to pay 25% of the cost from your personal savings or to provide other collateral to cover the remaining part of the loan. Market value means the price at which the holiday home is sold.

Contrary to home loans, an OwnGuarantee or state guarantee is not accepted as collateral for a holiday home loan.

Do you need a holiday home loan without collateral?

If you’re buying a holiday home for a low cost or renovating your holiday home, our unsecured FlexiCredit might be your best choice. You can apply for a loan without collateral to make a single major purchase or many smaller ones.

With FlexiCredit, you can borrow between 2,000 and 50,000 euros with a repayment period of 1–8 years.

Interest rate and margin
Loan costs

Holiday home loan interest rate and margin

The interest rate on a holiday home loan consists of the margin and the reference rate, such as the 12-month or 3-month Euribor.

The loan margin is determined for each customer individually in the loan negotiations. A holiday home loan often includes other smaller expenses, including an initial opening fee or repayment fees. The total of all these costs is expressed through the annual percentage rate of charge (APR).

Example of a loan and the annual percentage rate of charge (APR)

Example calculation: You take out a loan of 150,000 euros. The loan period is 24 years and the interest rate is 4.20% (April 2024). The APR is 4.4%, including an opening fee of 600 euros and a monthly fee of 2.50 euros for the automatic debiting of loan payments. The number of payments is 288. The total amount of the loan and loan costs is 240,582 euros. The monthly payment (annuity) is 830 euros. 

The amount of the loan, the loan period and the interest are a representative example for the home loans offered by Nordea. Please note that the example calculation above is indicative and does not necessarily correspond to the actual annual percentage rate of charge on the loan to be granted to you. You can check the fees and prices of our home loans from our tariff below.
