What should you know about a home equity loan?


A home equity loan is secured against your property and lets you use the money without the bank specifying what you can spend it on. Because the loan is backed by property, you can generally borrow a larger amount over a longer term than with an unsecured personal loan. However, the application process is more involved: alongside your verified income, the bank assesses the value of the property and whether it meets its lending criteria. When comparing offers, look beyond the interest rate. Consider upfront costs, the loan term, early repayment conditions and the total amount repayable.

The loan can also be used to buy, build, extend or renovate a home, provided both you and the property meet the bank’s requirements. Interest rates, loan terms, eligibility criteria and other conditions can vary significantly between banks, so it’s worth comparing several offers before deciding

When could it be the right solution?

For anyone looking to make a considered, financially sound decision about their property, whatever their stage of life.

Major renovations

If you’re planning substantial upgrades or alterations and would prefer not to account for every expense with invoices.

Managing existing debts

Refinancing or combining several higher-cost loans may be an option if it results in more favourable terms and more manageable repayments.

Business plans

You may be able to use the funds for start-up costs, development or investment. In this case, it’s especially important to consider the risks of taking out a personal loan to fund a business.

Larger family expenses

It may also help finance education, healthcare, a car purchase or other significant expenses.

How much could you realistically borrow?


The amount you can borrow depends on more than your property’s value. The bank also assesses the monthly repayments you can afford based on your verified income. Factors that may affect the available loan amount include:

  1. 1

    the value and type of property offered as security

  2. 2

    your verified net income

  3. 3

    your existing loans and credit limits

  4. 4

    your chosen loan term

  5. 5

    the borrowers’ ages

  6. 6

    the bank’s own lending criteria

What do you need to qualify?

These are the general requirements. Each bank assesses applications individually.

Verified, eligible income

The bank needs to confirm that your income can support the monthly repayments over the long term

Eligible property

The property offered as security must meet the bank’s valuation and lending criteria.

A good credit history

The bank will also check your credit record, including any arrears or late payments.

Age requirements

Age limits at the time of application and at the end of the loan term may vary between banks.

Repayments within income limits

Your existing and proposed loan repayments must fall within the applicable debt-to-income limit.

Bank approval

Meeting the legal requirements does not guarantee approval. The bank assesses your application against its own lending criteria.

Questions and answers

Everything you need to know about home equity loans

The use of the loan amount is not tied to a specific housing-related purpose. You can use it, for example, for renovations, purchasing a car, education, business plans, or settling existing debts.

With a general-purpose mortgage loan, it is typically not necessary to verify the use of the loan funds with invoices.


Primarily, real estate of appropriate value and with a clear legal status is eligible. Acceptable property types and conditions may vary by bank.

Yes, this is possible if the property owner consents to the registration of the mortgage and assumes the role of the mortgagor.

No down payment in the traditional sense is required, but the bank will not finance the full value of the property. Consequently, the value of the collateral limits the amount that can be borrowed.

A general-purpose mortgage loan requires real estate collateral, and the application process may take longer and incur higher costs. In return, however, a larger loan amount and a longer term may be available.

Costs such as valuation, notary, land registry, and loan disbursement fees may arise. Some banks may offer promotional deals to cover certain fees, either in part or in full.

Yes, partial or full early repayment is possible. The associated fees and conditions are set out in the contract and the specific bank's schedule of charges.

Az átfutási idő függ a dokumentumok rendelkezésre állásától, az értékbecsléstől, a banki bírálattól és a szerződéskötéshez kapcsolódó ügyintézéstől.

Since the loan is secured by real estate, the property serving as collateral could be at risk in the event of prolonged non-payment. Therefore, it is particularly important to ensure that the repayment installment remains safely affordable in the long term.
