Non-indexed loans

Non-indexed loans have higher monthly payments than indexed loans. Non-indexed loans do not increase with inflation, so asset growth is faster.

Fixed interest rates for 3 years at a time

  • Loan period up to 25 years.

  • Base loan for up to 70%.

  • Additional loan for 71–80%.

  • Additional loan exceeding 80% up to ISK 6 million above the property valuation.

Indexed loans

Indexed loans have lower monthly payments than non-indexed loans. They are linked to inflation so the principal amount can increase initially. This makes the asset growth slower.

Fixed interest rates for 5 years at a time

  • Loan period up to ****35 years.

  • Base loan for up to 70%.

  • Additional loan for 71–80%.

  • Additional loan exceeding 80% up to ISK 6 million above the property valuation.

Fixed interest rates over the term of the loan

  • Loan period up to 35 years.

  • Base loan for up to 80%.

  • Additional loan exceeding 80% up to ISK 6 million above the property valuation.
