Do you want to realize the dream of owning a home? Then plan the long-term financing of your own four walls with a mortgage from AXA now! Calculate your personal interest costs and choose a mortgage that you can afford over the long term.
Would you like to find out if you can really afford the long-term commitment of a mortgage to pay for your own home? The example here shows how to accurately work out what you can afford.
Can you, at least hypothetically, afford to buy your own home? To find out, lenders carry out an affordability calculation before granting you a mortgage to make sure that your income is enough to cover the cost of financing and running a home. The total cost shouldn't be more than a third of your gross household income.
What's the real cost of owning a home? The real cost of financing can be calculated from the size of the mortgage, the actual interest rate, the amortization costs, and the monthly running costs. The total shouldn't be more than a third of your annual household income.
* Imputed interest rate: Lenders use this purely theoretical interest rate to gauge whether you could still afford the mortgage if rates were to rise sharply.
** Repayment: The mortgage is repaid in equal quarterly installments. The second mortgage must be repaid within 15 years or by age 60 at the latest.
*** Ancillary costs: As a rule of thumb, 1 % of the property value should be set aside every year for ancillary and maintenance costs.
**** Sample interest rate: This depends on the lender's actual rates and the term of the mortgage. We have used a rate of 1 % in this example to keep things simple.

AXA uses the 20:80 rule: you pay at least 20 % of the purchase price for your own home from your savings and borrow up to 80 % in the form of first and second mortgages. The higher the percentage you pay with your own funds, the lower your interest payments will be.
When you take out an AXA mortgage, you must pay at least 20 % of the purchase price of the property from your own funds. None of this is allowed to come from an early withdrawal from Pillar 2 or other loans, and pledging Pillar 2 assets is also not permitted.
Mortgage repayment is normally split across two different mortgages:
The running costs of your home shouldn't amount to more than a third of your gross annual income. These costs include interest on the first and second mortgages, ancillary costs, and repayments for the second mortgage.
The minimum mortgage amount is CHF 400,000.
