Yes. In case you do not already own a plot of land and have acquired undivided rights on a land as well as a ‘droit de surélévation’ of an existing building, then MHC Ltd can offer you a loan for the construction of a house/apartment on the upper slab of the existing building, provided all parties give their consent to borrow.

The amount you can borrow will depend on how much you can repay. We consider the following in our assessment of your request and repayment capacity: 

  • income
  • age
  • co-applicant’s income
  • repayment term
  • existing loan commitments

The loan ceiling varies from client to client. It depends on how much you earn and your existing loan commitments. Generally speaking, you can borrow up to 95%* of the project cost.
