Thomas, 35, has taken out a €250,000 20-year mortgage in 2022.
This is not an isolated example: in many cases you can optimize and reduce the cost of your loan, and creditor insurance can significantly reduce the overall cost of a mortgage.
Loan insurance is not just a formality imposed by the bank. It protects both the borrower and the lending institution in the event of death, disability or incapacity. But what many people don't realize is that this insurance can represent up to 30% of the total cost of property financing.
Since 2022, the Lemoine law has made it possible to change loan insurance at any time, without waiting for the anniversary date. The result: savings of up to €15,000 on the total cost of credit. The law also reduces the right to be forgotten to 5 years for certain illnesses, and abolishes the medical questionnaire for loans under €200,000, subject to age conditions at the end of the loan. Thanks to this reform, every borrower can finally regain control over his or her real estate financing and find an insurance better suited to his or her budget and situation.
With my health problems I still managed to finalize my purchase on the advice of our broker who optimized the duration of my purchase so as not to have a health questionnaire (duration, percentage insured).
