With the Compte Epargne Logement, you can also fund the property project of your dreams, in other words buy, build or renovate your home or second home, whether you’re a homeowner or tenant.
For CEL opened after 01/03/2011, the prêts épargne logement concern only main homes.

After just 18 months, if the interest you have accrued has already reached a certain level, you can receive a mortgage loan at preferential rates. Depending on the interest accrued and the chosen repayment period (from 2 to 15 years), you could secure a loan of up to € 23,000(2).

If the sale depends on the granting of the loan and the loan is refused, the seller must reimburse all payments.
