Information about the loan

  • Basic features

    An ASP loan is part of the ASP system, intended for buying your first home. You are entitled to an ASP loan if you have opened an ASP account and accumulated money for your first home according to plan. When you buy the home and the terms of the ASP savings agreement are met, you get a state guarantee for the home loan, the basic interest rate of 1% from Danske Bank and an interest bonus of 4% for your savings on that part of the deposit which corresponds to 10% of the purchase or acquisition price of the home.

  • Terms of an ASP loan

    An ASP loan consists of a subsidised-interest loan and a possible additional loan. The statutory maximum amount of the subsidised-interest loan depends on the municipality where the home is located.

    Municipality of dwelling, maximum loan amount/€

    • Helsinki, 215,000
    • Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen, 160,000
    • Tampere, Turku, 140,000
    • Other municipalities, 120,000

    • With the interest subsidy, you are protected against potentially increasing interest levels. The state subsidises your loan interest by 70% for the part in excess of 3.8% during the first 10 years of the loan
    • The interest subsidy and loan term for the additional loan are agreed separately for each customer
    • Usually the home you are about to buy together with the state guarantee for home credit are sufficient collateral for ASP funding

Tips and advice

    Examples
    1. If you start saving immediately and, during two years, save €1,500 each quarter, then you will have €12,000 saved at the end of two years. The amount of the loan is €108,000. The price of the dwelling is €120,000. Danske Bank will pay a bonus interest of 4% on your savings in addition to the regular 1% interest rate.

    2. If you save €650 monthly for two years, you will have accumulated €15,600, in which case the price of your home can be €156,000. In this case, you will already reach the maximum limit for an interest-subsidised loan in such a way that the loan will be divided into a subsidised-interest ASP loan and an additional loan.

  • A home loan is a commitment of several years. This is why you should set the instalment pace in such a way that you can also save, have the flexibility to fulfil other purchases and wishes and prepare for the future. Even a small monthly amount can grow into a proper sum over the years.

  • Different housing companies are at different stages of their lifecycle. Their maintenance has required and will continue to require different measures, which you should be aware of when making the purchase decision and estimating your future living expenses. Our loan experts will be glad to assist you also with the assessment of the financial state of the housing company. We will tell you what to pay attention to in your specific case and what the various items in the financial statement and other official documents of the housing company mean.

  • The new dwelling must look like your own home. The changes and aesthetic repairs that you want should be considered when you are estimating the overall financing need.
