Discover the Schwäbisch Hall home buyers savings account

What is the Schwäbisch Hall home loan?

The Schwäbisch Hall home loan combines a traditional home loan solution with a home buyers savings scheme. It applies to the financing of projects for your main residence in Luxembourg or in bordering regions. For example: purchase, renovation, construction or loan repayments.

What are the benefits of a Schwäbisch Hall home loan?

• You finance the purchase of your home,
• The interest debit and amounts saved are tax deductible,
• You know the fixed interest rate in advance for both your savings and home loan.

How does a Schwäbisch Hall home loan work?

Phase 1: the home savings scheme

First, you take out a bullet loan with BGL BNP Paribas_(2).

At the same time, you pay a portion of your savings into a home buyers savings account. You deduct the amounts from your taxes*.

Thanks to the bullet loan system, during this initial period you only pay the loan interest and make no capital repayments.

At the end of this contract, your investment will help repay the first part of the bullet loan taken out with BGL BNP Paribas.

Phase 2 : the amortised

At the end of the home buyers savings contract, you’ll need to repay the second portion of the loan. At this point, you have two options:
Either take out an amortised loan with BGL BNP Paribas₍₂₎, under the applicable terms and conditions,
Or take out an amortised Schwäbisch Hall loan, at the guaranteed fixed rate at the time the home buyers savings scheme is set up.

This solution offers your security. Ideally, we’ll be able to offer you a more favourable interest rate. Otherwise, you have access to the interest rate initially negotiated with Schwäbisch Hall.

This means you can save for the future while financing your home today! Since the loan structure is different to a standard solution, this results in a cost difference.

However, it may be in your favour, depending on the tax allowances you may be entitled to. Potential tax allowances will depend on the number of people in your household and your individual situation.

 An in-depth discussion with your advisor will help you find the best solution.
They’ll assess your project, needs and situation with you. They can offer you a personalised solution to finance your real estate project _(2).

How much is tax deductible?

Since the 2017 tax reforms, tax allowances on home buyers savings accounts depend on taxpayer ages. Taxpayers aged under 40 benefit from a higher tax-deductible ceiling.

Tip

A home buyers savings account doesn’t necessarily need to be attached to a home loan! You can start building your savings to help you purchase your home later on, while already benefiting from tax breaks. Not only do you benefit from tax reductions – your savings are also guaranteed. What’s more, you receive interest income at a rate agreed on with our partner Schwäbisch Hall, when the savings scheme is set up.
