Understand the loan structure

Ask whether the rate is fixed or variable, how long the term runs, and which fees apply. Request the lender’s explanation in writing and compare complete terms.

Account for the deposit

A larger deposit reduces the amount borrowed, but keep room for moving costs and an emergency reserve. Discuss suitable options with a qualified advisor.
