Professional advice from our experts

Check your opportunities to borrow and calculate the approximate loan amount you can get

Typical example for calculating annual percentage rate

If a loan of EUR 100,000 secured by real estate collateral is granted for the period of 25 years and 300 loan instalments based on the annuity method will be made, the total amount to be paid by such borrower will make EUR 166,874.41, monthly instalment – EUR 547.91. The annual percentage rate will make 4.62 per cent. Annual percentage rate showing the total cost of a loan is calculated by including the below instalments made within the entire loan period:

  • 4.3 % variable interest
  • EUR 400 agreement fee
  • EUR 8.6 mortgage (pledge) registration fee
  • EUR 1 per month minimum fee for main banking services
  • EUR 70 dwelling insurance annual premium


Note. Property valuation costs and the commission for the services provided by a credit intermediary are not included.

Annual percentage rate and the total amount to be paid by the borrower are calculated considering that the loan is disbursed on the agreement signature date and that the terms of the agreement, interest rate and fees do not change within the entire loan period, and the terms and conditions of the agreement are timely implemented. If you fail to fulfil or unduly fulfil the terms of the loan agreement, the risk exists that you may be deprived of the ownership right to the pledged real estate. The mortgaged real estate must be insured in favour of the bank during the entire loan period.

Basic lending conditions
Requirements for the borrower

Loans are available to adult nationals of the Republic of Lithuania and individuals with a permit of permanent residence in Lithuania who are receiving permanent income, in particular:

  • wages
  • other regular income received under author's agreements, from business activity, lease and otherwise supported by relevant documentation

The total amount of monthly instalments paid to various credit institutions should not exceed 40 per cent of your total monthly net income.

Amount and maturity

The amount and maturity of the loan depend on the value of mortgaged property – we can lend you an amount equalling 60 per cent of the value of mortgaged property. The available maturity is up to 15 years.

The loan amount also depends on the assessment of the family’s financial capacity to repay the loan.

CurrencyLoans are available in euros.
Interest

When concluding a credit agreement, you may choose the type of interest rate - variable, fixed or a combination of the two.

Variable interest is interest that consists of a margin and a variable interest component. It consists of the bank's margin, set individually for you, and the 3, 6 or 12-month EURIBOR interbank interest rate of your choice. The EURIBOR variable interest component is first set on the date of disbursement of the first instalment of credit and remains in force until the next interest reset date. On the other interest reset dates, the variable interest component is reset anew. The variable interest component is determined by reference to the EURIBOR value applied two business days before. If the value is negative, the variable interest component is considered to be zero.

Fixed interest is interest where you are individually given a specific fixed interest rate for an agreed credit period. The fixed interest rate can be set for the entire credit period, if the credit period is up to 10 years, or for a partial credit period of 2, 3, 5 or 10 years of your choice. If the credit period is longer than the chosen fixed-rate period, a combination of fixed and variable interest is applied, with variable interest being charged at the end of the fixed-rate period.

The annual interest rate is established individually, having evaluated your financial possibilities, the credit amount, your own share, the credit market situation, and how often and what our services you use.

The interest rate is calculated of the outstanding credit amount, assuming that a year has 360 days.

Securities

Repayment of the loan is normally secured by taking out a mortgage against housing. Requirements:

  • The value of the mortgaged immovable property must be established by property valuers
  • Mortgaged immovable property (other than parcels of land) must be provided with insurance coverage from a property insurance company
Loan repayment

Once the bank has disbursed the funds of the loan, your instalments will be debited from your chosen account on the agreed payment dates. The first instalment is interest only.

Repayment methods

Linear method
The principal is divided into equal portions, which are paid every month. Interest accrued on the outstanding loan portion for the actual number of days will be added to it (the lower the outstanding loan, the lower interest will accrue on it). So over the entire term of the agreement the monthly instalments are gradually decreasing.
Annuity method
The same amount of instalments is paid every month, consisting of the principal and interest. At first interest comprises the larger part of the instalment. It gradually decreases while the principal is increasing, but the amount of the monthly instalment does not change. In calculating the instalment amounts, it will be considered that a year consists of 360 days.
Example of the composite parts of a credit instalment and their change in both cases

If you can afford higher instalments from the beginning, it is worth choosing the linear method because the amount of interest paid will be lower over the whole term.

Grace periodIf you are facing an emergency, you can file us a request to postpone payment o instalments without changing the final loan maturity date. During the grace period only interest is payable.

Borrowing is always associated with the risk of being unable to fulfil your assumed obligations properly and in due time, so before you decide to take out a loan, consider this risk carefully.

Use the home loan calculator to calculate a loan instalment that you could pay the bank every month without difficulty and consider the risk of decreased income. We also recommend considering the risk of increased instalments related to a rise in the interest rate and the risk of borrowing in a foreign currency.

According to the Responsible Lending Regulations of the Bank of Lithuania, we will provide you with instalment samples and other information related to concluding a loan agreement before signing the loan agreement. Please compare the different offers and make an informed decision.

Please note that you need to take out a mortgage against property to secure repayment of the loan. If the assumed financial liabilities are not fulfilled, there occurs a risk to lose title to the property.

The bank has the right to refuse giving out a loan.
