Easier access to mortgage
One of the main difficulties that young people face is being able to provide adequate guarantees when they find themselves applying for a bank loan. For those who can rely on the help of their parents, this is a circumventable difficulty. But for the many who lack this leverage, it really succeeds in gaining their complete autonomy.

E' the state so that takes charge of this burden providing the necessary guarantees. As in fact provided in the Decree Law No. 73 of May 25, 2021, qhis public guarantee covers up to 80% of the principal amount of the loan. Specifically, this guarantee is provided to the following categories:
