Loans from the Housing Bank to individuals

You can apply for a loan from the Housing Bank to build or upgrade a house with high standards of environmental sustainability or Accessibility. You can also apply for a loan to buy a home pre-approved by The Housing Bank.

Loans for high-quality housing are available to individuals who are building or significantly upgrading their main home. 

By high standards, we mean the physical and environmental qualities of the building, such as:

  • Using eco-friendly building materials and good waste management practices during the construction period.
  • Ensuring low energy consumption and using renewable energy sources.
  • Avoiding high thresholds or other physical barriers inside and outside the home.

You can choose between three different quality objectives:

  1. Eco-friendly buildings that have low energy consumption and use renewable energy sources.
  2. Lifetime homes with all of the rooms you need on the entrance level and with no physical barriers.
  3. Home upgrades to significantly lower energy consumption and improve accessibility. 

If you are buying a home from a developer, you can also get a loan from the Housing Bank.
