Lånebevis – what is it? A lånebevis (loan approval certificate), or home purchase certificate, is a document that sets out an agreement between the lender (the bank) and the borrower (you), describing the terms of the home loan and information about how much you can borrow.

It's important to remember that the bank runs a business and therefore rarely gives its best offer at the first meeting.

In addition, banks have very different guidelines, and some are more conservative than others. That's why we also obtain multiple offers from different banks. It's your assurance of the best loan, which can save you a great deal of money.

So what is a loan approval certificate?...

In other words, we scan the market for you and find the solution that suits you best, and from there we take up the negotiation with the banks.

We make sure you're ready to buy and have your loan approval certificate in hand before we submit an offer on your future home. The loan approval certificate, also called a home purchase certificate, is your document stating what you're approved to buy a home for.
