Eligibility and Criteria:

All Italian mortgages are in Euros and will be secured against Italian residential property.  Italian mortgages are full status and therefore proof of income and outgoings is required for an application. Italian lenders assess eligibility on the applicant’s capacity to repay the Italian mortgage.  As a guideline, your existing monthly outgoings as well as the monthly repayment on your new Italian mortgage should not exceed 35% of your gross monthly income.  A percentage of any rental and investment income you receive can also be considered.  Mortgage, rent, personal loans and maintenance commitments are all considered as outgoings. 

Loan to Value Ratio:

The maximum loan to value available is 80% of the purchase price, though 60% is preferable.

Types of Rates and Terms:

Both interest-only and repayment mortgages can be arranged, on a variable or fixed-rate basis, or a combination of both. Terms can be from 5 to 40 years, however loans must be repaid by the age of 85.  Many loans do not have any early redemption penalties.

Minimum Loan Available:

The minimum loan size on an Italian mortgage is normally €250,000.
