A bullet loan, nothing else is the loan you described, is rather uncommon in the private sector because
a) it is usually more expensive than an annuity loan (normal loan with interest and repayment)
b) there is usually a gap at the end. To make a bullet loan look cheap or to calculate it nicely, it is often calculated with excessive surpluses of the LV or the fund, which is supposed to be your repayment. After a few years, you will receive a letter stating that the assumed surpluses will probably not be achieved and that you should close your financing gap by taking out another LV.
A bullet loan only makes sense if the repayment is provided by the guaranteed maturity amount of a (unit-linked) LV. Everything that is surplus and then remains is nice, but should not be used for the calculation of the loan. If you actually do it this way, it usually becomes considerably more expensive than a normal loan, which you secure against death with a simple risk LV.
