A mortgage is a long-term loan used to buy property. The home secures the loan: if you stop paying, the lender can repossess the property. You repay principal plus interest over many years, often 20 to 30.

Mortgages are one of the largest financial commitments most people make. Small differences in rate or term change total cost by tens of thousands of euros.

Fixed vs variable mortgages

  • Fixed rate: Same payment for the fixed period; easier to budget.

  • Variable rate: Tracks market or central bank rates; payments can rise or fall.

Variable mortgages often reacted to ECB interest rate changes. Always compare total cost, fees, and early repayment rules, not just the headline rate.

Preparing while you save

bunq does not offer mortgages, but you can build a down payment in a Savings Account, automate transfers with Budgeting, and lock part of your deposit in a Term Deposit if timing and rates suit you. Lenders will review your bank statements and credit score when you apply elsewhere.
