Second mortgage

When do I need a second mortgage?

The first mortgage is limited to two thirds of the real estate value. The second mortgage, therefore, serves to finance the rest of the credit that exceeds the first mortgage.

The bank finances a maximum of 80% of the value of the property, divided into two mortgages:

  • First mortgage: max. 67% of the real estate value
  • Second mortgage: max. 13% of the real estate value

Example: The purchase price is CHF 1,000,000 and the buyer has CHF 250,000 (25%) in equity. In this case, the mortgage loan would be 75%. This means that the first mortgage amounts to CHF 650,000 (65%) and the second mortgage CHF 100,000 (10%).
