How to compare mortgage structures
Choosing between fixed-rate and SARON financing is mainly a question of stability versus flexibility. The best answer depends on your ability to absorb change, your planned holding period and how likely the project is to evolve in the next few years.
The mortgage should also be assessed alongside your own funds, long-term budget and the role of the property in your broader wealth strategy. A low rate is only useful if the structure remains comfortable and coherent over time.
