Mortgages in Italy - statistics & facts

A mortgage is a medium- to long-term loan taken out to purchase, build, or renovate a property or land, secured by a lien on the property. In general, the lender approves an amount based on the value of the property and the borrower's creditworthiness. Borrowers receive a lump sum which needs to be repaid in installments at fixed or variable interest rates. A mortgage is a key financial instrument for a house purchase. Due to a rather high homeownership rate, the outstanding value of mortgage lending in Italy reached approximately 392 billion euros in 2020, making it one of the countries with the highest value of outstanding mortgage loans in Europe.
