I want to mortgage my property, how much can I raise?
You can mortgage your property on values assessed by our independent Valuers. The valuation is paid for by the applicant and the Co-op lends about 50-60% of the property valuation with a maximum of €200,000 per person per application. No guarantors are needed when a property is mortgaged.
How can I become a member of the Co-op?
If someone is granted a loan, then he is automatically a member of the Co-op. You can become a member even without having to get a loan by simply applying, which costs €35. The Pissouri Co-op numbers more than two thousand (2000) members at the time being.
How many times does the Co-op conduct recapitalisation?
The Co-op recapitalises the loan accounts only once a year in comparison with other banks that might do it even up to four times.
