Mortgage loan: the initial fee cannot exceed 25% of the applicant's monthly income FreePik



UVA mortgage loans have once again become an option for those who dream of accessing their own home in Argentina . Since April of this year, 23 banks , both public and private, have launched their lines of mortgage loans that adjust their installments based on inflation .

However, there are certain requirements that, in many cases, can leave several potential applicants out of reach, such as: the amount of income they can demonstrate .

The inclusion of private banks means that financial institutions began to compete to offer the best rates , which translates into more affordable installments to pay . In this way, competition between banks means not only lower rates, but also a greater variety of options and flexibility for potential borrowers.

“Since the first mortgage loan announcement was made, there was a huge expectation within the market and among those interested in being able to access a home,” said José Rozados, director of Reporte Inmobiliario, hopefully, within the framework of the seminar held by the College of Notaries of the city of Buenos Aires . Such was the response of consumers that, in the deeds of sale revealed in the month of September , the operations with loans represented 14% of the total : 705 with mortgages out of 5,157 operations.



In this context, the rates of mortgage loans issued range between 3% and 9.5%. The amounts to be lent reach up to $250 million , although in some cases there is no limit .

In general, these loans finance between 75% and 80% of the value of the property , with a single entity, and the Bank of Córdoba (Bancor), which lends 100%. The financing terms vary between 5 and 30 years , and the installments, being UVA loans, are adjusted for inflation . In addition, the installment committed by the borrower must represent between 20% and 30% of monthly income.

There are already 22 banks that launched their mortgage credit lines

How much do you have to earn per month to qualify?​

To access a UVA loan , in most cases, the initial fee to be paid for the loan cannot exceed 25% of the monthly income of the applicant or the family group, with the exception of some banks in which the income-to-fee ratio is 30% .

Below are some concrete examples with approximate figures on how much you have to earn to qualify , taking an average rate of 5.5% to be paid in 20 years and with 80% of the value of the property, with a quote of US$ = $1100 .

For a property that costs US$100,000​



  • Loan amount : $88 million (equivalent to 80% of the property)
  • Initial savings : US$20,000
  • Value of the first installment : $605,340
  • Minimum income required : $2,421,360


A property worth US$80,000​



  • Loan amount : $70.4 million (equivalent to 80% of the property)
  • Initial savings : US$16,000
  • Value of the first installment : $484,272
  • Minimum income required : $1,937,088


A US$50,000 property​



  • Loan amount : $44 million (equivalent to 80% of the property)
  • Initial savings : US$10,000
  • Value of the first installment : $302,670
  • Minimum income required : $1,210,680




While the return of UVA loans and competition between banks facilitate access to home ownership, current economic conditions remain a significant barrier .

For an average family, meeting the minimum income needed to cover the down payment on a loan remains a challenge. In addition, inflation adjustment poses a risk that applicants should carefully consider before embarking on such a loan .
