A rough guide from common lending limits in Austria (repayments up to about 40% of income, at most 90% of the price, terms up to 35 years). Not a mortgage offer or advice: lenders look at your debts, spending, credit history and the home itself. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
