The early repayment of a loan
Speaking of early repayment of loan these days is not easy. The money missing at all and the hope is that you can pay your rate, extinguish it in advance, and then it would be a dream. However, there are cases where this situation occurs.
From 2 February 2007 the persons who acquire or restructure a house with funds provided of a loan, will no longer have to pay penalties. In fact that contracts of this funding – awarded after February 2 – must not be contained penalty clauses, payable at the lender in case of early repayment of the loan itself.
Here is the text of Decree-Law 31 January 2007, OJ No n.7 26 Del 1-2-2007: 26 of 1-2-2007:
It is no any agreement, even after the conclusion of the contract, including the penalty clause, which agrees that the borrower, which may require early repayment or part of a loan for buying a first home, is expected to a specific provision in favor of the bank lender. The clauses appear in violation of the prohibition referred to in paragraph 1 shall be null and void and shall not entail the nullity of the contract. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 apply to loan contracts entered into after the date of entry into force of this decree.
The anticipated extension of the loan does not provide that automatically ‘mortgage is canceled: The process was the cost of successful practice, and therefore who extinguished a loan must also take account of these costs.
