Regardless of everything else, I don’t understand your example. How long should the remaining term be? Longer than the 6 years, I assume? Also, the question arises why the bank would offer something like that? The bank also has to "secure" the business, which would not be very favorable in an interest rate environment of 6%. But that would get too financial-mathematical now. And overall you must not forget one thing either: the entire processing and associated administration... I can’t imagine that a bank sees any advantage there unless it is afraid that the whole thing is going downhill.Possibly yes, for example: The financing at 1.8% has been running for, for example, 9 years and is fixed for another 6 years, but interest rates are now at 6%. The bank asks: How about we refinance now for the entire remaining term at 2.5%. That is exactly your example. I would definitely consider whether you wouldn’t go along with the upward adjustment...
