    Post Housing loan payback period now 25 years in Finland

    More and more people in Finland (a quarter of those who have taken a housing loan in the last two years) chose a housing loan payback period of 25 years instead of 20 years.

    Main reason is an increase in interest rates.

    Do think that living in Finland became more expensive in the last 2-3 years?

    What about the deposit? How much deposit to you need to buy a house in Finland? Is it possible to get a no deposit home loan there?
