Since the terms and conditions of housing company loans are the same for all shareholders, the loan period, repayment method or reference rate may not be ideal for you and your situation.
The charge for financial costs may also rise along the years if interest rates rise or if your housing company makes a renovation, for example.
A personal loan has many advantages compared to a housing company loan.
First contact your property management company to get information on the terms of the housing company loan, the amount of your share and the payment dates.
We have several options for converting a housing company loan into a personal loan. If you have free collateral, you can apply for a personal loan to convert your share in full or in part. We recommend that you contact us well in advance and fill in a loan application.
Once you have sent us your loan application, we will call you and book an appointment for a loan negotiation to discuss the best options for you.
The biggest expenses in a home loan consist of the loan margin you have negotiated and the reference rate you have chosen, such as the 12-month Euribor. However, a 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 calculation: You take out a loan of 151,000 euros. The loan period is 23 years and the interest rate is 3.25% (October 2024). The APR is 3.4%, 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 276. The total amount of the loan and loan costs is 216,956 euros. The monthly payment (annuity) is 781 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 APR on the loan that you will be granted. You can check the fees and prices of our home loans from our tariff below.

Consumers are not granted loans in any other currency than euro.
A housing loan is considered to be currency credit if the loan is granted in a foreign currency other than that of the EU Members State or the state of belonging to the European Economic Area where the consumer resides. Furthermore, a housing loan is considered to be foreign currency credit if the consumer receives his or her income in another currency of a state of the European Economic Area or in currency of a state of European Economic Area.
A foreign exchange risk occurs when the borrower's income or assets to be used to repay the credit are not in the same currency as the credit or the credit is not in the currency of borrower's country of residence. A foreign exchange risk refers to the change in price of one currency in relation to another. During the loan period, the value of the credit or the monthly payment may increase in relation to the borrower's income or assets or the currency of the borrower's country of residence.
If the foreign currency of the borrower's country of residence, income or assets falls by 20 per cent in relation to the euro, the borrower receives a warning that the borrower's loan amount will increase in borrower's national currency.
