The conditions for obtaining a home loan have become more and more restrictive lately.

About one out of two loan applications is accepted today by banks.

Europe 1 takes stock with a specialist in the sector, and evokes the track of a relaxation of the rate of wear.

According to a study by Afib, the French Association of Bancassurance Intermediaries, around one in two mortgage applications are refused today.

In question, the galloping inflation of recent months which has increased borrowing rates.

Europe 1 tells you all about this complex mechanism with Jérôme Cusano, the president of the association.

The wear rate is a problem.

This is the maximum rate that banks are not allowed to exceed when lending money.

The French Association of Bancassurance Intermediaries proposes to modify the calculation so that the conditions under which banks can lend to individuals are relaxed, so that more mortgage files are accepted.

The objective is to validate six out of ten loan applications, as was the case a few months ago, and thus make credit very accessible again.
