You can take out an OwnGuarantee for your housing loan if you intend to
- buy a home in Finland for permanent residence by you or your family
- renovate a home currently used as a permanent residence by you or your family.
Features of OwnGuarantee
When taking out a home loan, the standard security value of a home is 75 % of its value. For remaining part (15 % at maximum or 20 % at maximum for first-time home buyers) you can take out an OwnGuarantee, for example. In addition, you will need your own savings or other security for the remainder.
If you, as the borrower, cannot repay your housing loan and the selling price of the home pledged as security does not suffice to cover the remaining housing loan, an insurance company will pay the bank compensation amounting, at most, to the size of the OwnGuarantee purchased.
The insurance company, however, has the right to collect the compensation it has paid to the bank from the borrower.
Prices
The cost of an OwnGuarantee depends on the amount of the housing loan and the additional security required.
For example, if you buy an apartment worth 100,000 and you have saved 10,000 euros, you will need to borrow 90.000 euros. The security value of the new home will be 75,000 euros, so you will need an OwnGuarantee for 15,000 euros. The cost of such a guarantee is 720 euros.
You can obtain the precise price for the OwnGuarantee you need from our nearest branch or by calling Nordea Customer Service.
