Why get a mortgage loan

What you need to know about mortgage loans
Property value
The mortgage loan amount depends on the value of the property you want to buy or build. Depending on the programme you choose, you may get up to:
- 90% of the commercial value
- 100% of the purchase agreement value
- 100% of the home improvement budget
Credit history
We determine the amount you can borrow based on your:
- Income and asset status
- Credit history, according to Tiresias SA
Getting loan pre-approval
Fill in the application based on your needs to get pre-approval for the loan amount and term. The loan pre-approval is valid for 45 days. During this time, you need to find a property.
You can apply for loan pre-approval:
- Online from your computer, through myAlpha Web.
- By appointment at a branch on the day and time it suits you.
Final approval
Once you find a property, you bring the supporting documents so we can carry out the engineering inspection and due diligence. As soon as we confirm that the property meets the conditions for a loan, we proceed with the final approval.
Based on your age
You must be up to 75 at loan maturity.
Based on your finances
The loan payment should not affect your day-to-day life. However, when you calculate your available income, take into account the amount you’ll be saving monthly because you won’t be paying any rent.

Fixed or floating interest rate
With floating interest rate, the instalment amount will follow the market interest rate. Meaning, it may decrease or increase.
With fixed interest rate, the instalment amount remains the same for a specified period, irrespective of the market trends.
Lump-sum fees
There are additional costs related to the due diligence and mortgage registration process, such as lawyer, engineer, land registry and National Cadastre fees, etc.
The cost changes depending on the loan, the collateral and the amount.
Annual property insurance
It is mandatory to insure the property you provide as collateral against earthquake and fire.
Subsidised programmes
Depending on your age, income and family status, you may be eligible for a subsidised programme for a new home.
This means you can get a more favourable loan.
Discounts
With some mortgages, you get a discount on the interest rate or the expenses depending on the energy class of the property and your general relationship with Alpha Bank.
Find the right loan for you
Before you apply for a loan, you need to consider:
- How much do I need to borrow – Do you already have part of or, will you borrow the entire amount?
- How am I going to repay it – Will the loan payments come from your salary or another source, such as rental income, or do you plan on selling an asset? In this case, choose a loan you can repay early at no extra charge.
- How much time do I need to repay the loan – Considering the amount you can pay monthly, how much time will you need in total? Do you need a grace period?
- How will I pay for the fees – What are the fees related to the purchase and mortgage lien? Do you already have the amount or do you need a personal loan?
- Am I eligible for a subsidy – Do you meet the conditions for a subsidised loan?
