Our mortgage models currently include:
- Fixed-rate mortgages with terms of two to ten years
A fixed-rate mortgage guarantees you a consistent interest charge for the selected term. That makes it easier for you to budget for your living costs. The mortgage cannot be terminated during the fixed term. Early withdrawal in exchange for a fee is possible if the property is sold.
- Variable mortgages
Interest rates for variable mortgages are determined by the market and may change with an advance notice of three months. The mortgage can be terminated at any time with a notice period of six months.

We finance residential property (owner-occupied flats, single-family houses) at a maximum of 80% and multy-family houses at a maximum of 75 % of the property's market value - 66% as a first mortgage and 14% as a second mortgage.
We don't finance specialist properties – holiday homes, production facilities, restaurants, business premises and luxury/dream houses, for example.
The market value is the current value of the property being financed and is determined on the basis of an estimate. Your residential property is well-maintained and of high quality.
The equity capital you use to finance your own home must be paid in cash. If you would like to use Pillar 2 funds to purchase your own home, these must be withdrawn. However, at least 10% must always be paid in cash as equity capital.
The annual payment consisting of the mortgage interest rate, amortisation and ancillary costs may not exceed 33% of your net income. To quality for financing from Generali, you must have an excellent credit rating and good solvency.
