Private loan
LHV Private Loan can be used to finance activities that are important to you
- Buying or renovating property
- Furnishing your home
- Financing larger expenses
- Investing against the collateral of real estate
How is the loan amount determined?
The desired loan amount is, for example, 30,000 € to renovate an existing house, to which no mortgage has been set for the benefit of another bank. The market value of the house is 100,000 €. According to the bank’s assessment, the acceptance level of the collateral is 60%. This means that the bank is willing to issue a loan in the sum of up to 60,000 € against this collateral.
In addition to the collateral, the loan amount depends on the solvency of the client and their credit history.

Price list and terms and conditions
| Loan amount | Starting from 30,000 € a maximum of 70% of the market value of the collateral. The acceptance of the collateral and its percentage rate depends on the location and condition of the collateral. The maximum loan amount also depends on the client’s solvency and credit history. |
| Contract fee | 1% of the loan amount |
| Period | Agreement up to 10 years, payment schedule up to 30 years. The client can optimise their loan payments with a bullet schedule, where the payment amount is accounted on the basis of the 30-year payment schedule, while the term of the loan agreement is up to 10 years. The last monthly payment of the tenth year is the sum of all the unpaid principal payments, i.e. the bullet. When ten years have passed, the client’s agreement and loan terms and conditions are reviewed and usually a new agreement is made for the outstanding loan balance for another ten-year period. |
| Collateral | Real estate, securities or deposit. A private loan can be secured against the applicant’s property (e.g. an apartment or a detached house) that has not been encumbered with loan obligations before other banks. Property located in Tallinn, Tartu or their immediate vicinity is preferred. The property that is used as a collateral for the loan must be insured for the whole loan period. A loan can also be secured with securities or deposits. In special cases we also accept the guarantee of a private person as the security. |
| Interest | From 4.5% + Euribor. |
| Apartment valuation | We offer valuation for new apartments at an affordable price – 75 € |
