Why choose a Widiba mortgage?

Because you can do everything online, wherever you are, with no paper forms to complete and submit: from digital signature to mortgage application, through to uploading all the documents relating to the mortgage holders, any guarantors and the property being bought. In a few simple steps, you can choose the repayment that suits your needs and tailor the right mortgage for you. A mortgage advisor will be at your side at every step of the way. In addition you have a free building survey.

How can I find the right repayment for me?

If you have not yet found your new home and you want to have an idea of the mortgage you can take out, use our free online estimate calculator: select "Simulate with your income", enter your monthly income and discover the repayment that suits you.

What is the maximum sum that can be financed with a mortgage?

The mortgage amount that can usually be borrowed is 80% of the appraised value of the property to be purchased. Some banks finance up to 100% of this value. In this case, they usually charge higher costs or require additional guarantees.

What is the minimum mortgage amount I can apply for?

When applying for a Widiba mortgage, the loan amount cannot be less than €50,000, except in the case of remortgages, for which the minimum loan amount is equal to €80,000.

What are the requirements to apply for a mortgage?

The decision whether or not to grant a mortgage is always subject to the verification of subjective requirements (minimum age, residence, citizenship) and to the applicant's creditworthiness. The final decision is reached after the bank has conducted meticulous investigations with a view to ascertaining the applicant's creditworthiness and the property's suitability as collateral following mortgage registration, as well as other considerations. Indicatively, the borrower is considered to be able to afford mortgage repayments when these do not exceed one third of his/her monthly net income.

Can I apply for a joint mortgage?

Yes, you can apply for a mortgage in your own name or one held jointly with one or more people.

What is the maximum duration of a mortgage?

30 years for all solutions, whether with a fixed rate or a floating rate.

Is there an age limit to apply for a mortgage?

Yes, to apply for a mortgage you must be at least 18 years old. In some cases, the applicant cannot be older than 75 (i.e. have had his/her 76th birthday) at the mortgage expiry date. Based on the age of the applicant and his/her specific needs, we will evaluate together the duration and characteristics of the most suitable mortgage.

What documents do I need to submit when applying for a mortgage?

We will ask you to resubmitthe last three pay slips (the last two Modello Unico forms for self-employed professionals), the latest CUD/730 (single certification), a valid identity document and your tax code. In some cases, we may also ask you for additional documents in order to assess your application more accurately.

How do I make the mortgage payments?

You can simply choose to charge the mortgage repayments to your Widiba account.

Do I have to associate an insurance policy with the mortgage?

For the purpose of granting the mortgage, the Bank requires you to insure the property covered by the mortgage guarantee against damage caused by fire, explosion and lightning for the entire duration of the mortgage.
You can choose freely whether to take out an AXA MPS Fire and Explosion-Widiba insurance policy, which meets this requirement, or the policy of another insurance company that has the minimum contents required by Banca Widiba, described in the “Combinable Products” section of the documents detailing the mortgage conditions, present on the Mortgages page on widiba.it.
This decision will in no way affect the granting or the conditions of the mortgage.

Can the policy be taken out with an insurance company other than the one suggested by Banca Widiba?

Yes, you can choose the insurance policy you prefer provided it has the following minimum contents:

-guarantees covering property damage connected with the following events: fire, lightning and explosions, internal or external to the property, not caused by explosive devices;
-sum insured equal to the new for old value of the property resulting from the valuation report;
-duration at least equal to that of the mortgage;
-single advance premium;
-binding addendum in favour of Banca Widiba

Who is the guarantor?

In addition to the mortgage guarantee, the mortgage can also be backed by any other personal guarantee (surety) deemed appropriate and necessary by the lender. The surety should be issued by a party other than the borrower (the guarantor) as a guarantee of full repayment of the debt taken out by the latter. The guarantor will be held liable for the debt, and the contract is taken out directly between the guarantor and the lender. The surety is ancillary, which means it is not valid if the main contract - the mortgage - is invalid.

What is mortgage registration? What is it for?

Mortgage registration is a form of security for the lender. It confers a right of first refusal on the asset, which protects the lender against the risk of insolvency. Mortgage registration is established through registration in public registers and covers the entire asset to which it relates. The asset belongs to the owner, who can use it freely. When the debt terminates or expires, the mortgage also expires. Lenders require the mortgage to be registered before delivering the amount to be financed: although at this point the sum has virtually already been delivered (and the security deposit paid), the funds are only made available after the mortgage has been duly registered. The mortgage registration of a property includes its "appurtenances" (e.g. garage).

Once I have taken out a mortgage, how can I consult the repayment schedule?

Every month we will send you an instalment deadline notice, through which you can check your payment details. You can also consult your mortgage repayment schedule at any time by signing in to Widiba and typing "My mortgage": - Floating rate mortgage: the repayment schedule may vary from month to month compared to the original schedule annexed to the contract, based on the performance of the benchmark rate (Euribor); - Fixed rate mortgage: the repayment schedule will remain unchanged compared to the annex to the contract.

I have to submit my tax returns: how can I receive the document showing the interest I have paid so far?

Every year (usually between February and March), we will send you a document detailing the mortgage interest you paid during the previous year, in time to submit your tax returns. The document, which can be used for tax deduction purposes, details the mortgage amount, the type of mortgage chosen, the date of execution, the interest expenses paid during the year, and the residual capital as at 31 December.

How can I get the refunds I am entitled to?

By submitting the necessary documentation to an accountant or an authorized tax assistance center. Such documentation should not be annexed to the Modello 730 but to the Modello Unico tax return, and should be preserved and exhibited in the event of controls. As for interest expenses, the issuing bank sends a certifying statement every year. In the absence thereof, the statement may be requested.

Are there any special tax breaks on mortgages?

Yes, there are special tax breaks for first time home buyers: • VAT and/or registration tax equal, respectively, to 4% and 3% (instead of 10% and 7%); • Substitute tax on the purchase of your first home equal to 0.25% of the total mortgage disbursed (instead of the rate of 2% applied to the purchase of your second home); • Fixed mortgage registration and land register fees equal to €168.00 each (instead of 2% and 1% of the purchase); • Deduction of the TASI service tax, at the discretion of individual municipalities; • Deduction of mortgage interest expenses: this corresponds to 19% of the cost incurred by way of interest expenses relating to the mortgage loan taken out for the purchase of your main abode. The tax break can also include the cost of bank investigations and reports, the mortgage taxes paid, and the cost of the relating notary mortgage deed (excluding the cost of the sale deed), up to a maximum of €4,000: therefore, the maximum tax deduction applicable is €760. The beneficiary is the buyer of the property, and must also be the holder of the mortgage agreement.

What is meant by "first home"?

"First home" is a property that meets the following requirements: • The home must be a residential property and not a luxurious property; • The purchaser must be a natural person; • At the time of the purchase, the purchaser must not own another residential property in the same municipality as that of the first home; • The owner must not own another property in the country bought with the first time home buyer tax break; • The owner's residence must be transferred to the municipality of the purchased property within 18 months of signing the deed, on pain of disqualification from the tax breaks (within 12 months, to be able to deduct the relating mortgage interest expenses).

I have finished paying my mortgage instalments. What should I do to cancel the mortgage registration?

Once you have paid off your mortgage, we will ask the Land and Real Estate Tax Agency to cancel the mortgage registration. Once we have submitted the cancellation request to the Land and Real Estate Tax Agency, we will send you a letter confirming that the mortgage has been paid off and that the Property Register has been notified of the mortgage registration cancellation.

What happens if I delay payment of a repayment? What is default interest?

In the event of non or late payment of an instalment, the debtor can be declared in default and therefore is required to pay interest in arrears to compensate the creditor for any damage resulting from the delayed payment. Interest in arrears is greater than the agreed mortgage rate by 1 to 4 percentage points. The bank may terminate the mortgage contract as a result of at least seven - not necessarily consecutive - thirty-day delays in the payment of a mortgage instalment. Consequently, the bank may terminate the contract if 180 days have elapsed from the expiry of at least one unpaid instalment.

Can I repay the mortgage in advance, either fully or in part?

The possibility of making early mortgage repayments is allowed by law. Banks used to determine a fee (penalty) to be paid by the borrower on the capital repaid in advance. By virtue of Law 40/2007 (a.k.a. the Bersani law), mortgages issued for certain purposes are no longer subject to such penalties since 2 February 2007.

What is meant by mortgage replacement and mortgage portability?

Mortgages can be replaced in two ways: through mortgage replacement and mortgage portability. Mortgage replacement involves signing a new mortgage with a new bank. Mortgage portability (a.k.a. remortgage) involves "switching" an existing mortgage from one bank to another, with the possibility of changing the mortgage parameters.

Can the remortgage duration be changed?

Do I have to take out a new policy or can I transfer an existing one?

-guarantees covering property damage connected with the following events: fire, lightning and explosions, internal or external to the property, not caused by explosive devices;
-sum insured equal to the new for old value of the property resulting from the valuation report;
