2. Not really and honestly banks usually don't care if you pay in time.
3. Now I'm talking from experience as resident of some European country.
When you are giving a loan to someone to purchase a property as a bank you are not loaning your own money. You loan this money usually from central bank and then "re-loan" it for higher interest to customer. Most of the mortgages in Europe are with fixed interest for some period therefore inflation doesn't really bothers you because bank loaned this money from central bank in times where you get the mortgage when interests were low.
- hsuduebc2 4y agoIt worth noting that these "central bank money" is not giveaway of free cash flow. If another bank have surplus of cash on the end of the day they can lend it to the bank for some interest rate so they can make at least something out of it. This is the way how government controls inflation. When they set higher rates of interest banks usually rise their interest rates because it's simply is easier to let them sit in central banks.
