Perfect timing

When should you act?

The earlier you act, the better you can plan and secure favorable rates.

3-5 years ahead: Forward loan

Lock in today's rates for the future. When rates are rising, this can save thousands.

  • Secure current rates
  • Planning certainty
  • Small surcharge (0.01-0.03% per month)
RECOMMENDED

6-12 months ahead: Optimal

The ideal time to compare. Enough time for negotiations and smooth refinancing.

  • All options open
  • Time to compare
  • No surcharges

Under 3 months: Act fast

Still possible, but act quickly. Your bank is probably already making an extension offer.

  • Quick comparison needed
  • Extension may be more expensive
  • Short-notice review possible

Your refinancing options

Extension with your current bank

Stay with your current bank. Easy, but often not the cheapest option.

  • No new land register entry
  • Little effort
  • Often higher rates than switching
USUALLY CHEAPER

Switching to a new bank

Switch to another bank with better terms. More effort, but often significantly cheaper.

  • Usually better rates
  • New land register entry required
  • We handle the paperwork

Forward loan

Lock in today's rates for later. Ideal when rates are rising.

  • Up to 5 years in advance
  • Rate security
  • Small surcharge

FAQ

Refinancing FAQ

Everything you need to know

What is mortgage refinancing?

Mortgage refinancing is the continuation of your property financing after the fixed rate period ends. You can stay with your bank (extension) or switch to another bank with better terms.

When should I arrange refinancing?

Ideally 6-12 months before your fixed rate period ends. With a forward loan, you can lock in rates up to 5 years in advance. The earlier you act, the more options you have.

What does refinancing cost?

When refinancing, there are usually costs for the land register entry (approx. 0.2-0.5% of the loan amount). These are often more than offset by the interest savings. Our comparison is free for you.

What is a forward loan?

A forward loan secures today's rates for future refinancing (up to 5 years). You pay a small surcharge (approx. 0.01-0.03% per month lead time), but have planning certainty.

Do I have to stay with my bank?

No! You have complete freedom of choice. Often the terms are significantly better when switching. Your current bank doesn't have to offer you good rates. New customers often get better terms.

How much can I save by switching?

Depending on the loan amount and rate difference, you can save several thousand to tens of thousands of euros over the term. With €200,000 remaining debt and 0.3% rate savings, that's already €6,000 over 10 years.
