Questions about Pay Small Small
Do I need a bank loan?
No. You pay Akristal directly. If you choose to borrow part of the price from your bank, simply indicate the bank when you apply. Akristal can collaborate with your bank so that the loan covers part of the balance, while Pay Small Small takes care of the rest.
How is Pay Small Small different from a mortgage?
A mortgage is a traditional bank loan that you repay with interest over many years, after the bank reviews your income and approves your eligibility. By contrast, Pay Small Small is Akristal’s flexible in‑house payment plan, allowing you to spread payments directly with us over 6 months to 5 years. You also have the option to combine both—using a mortgage for part of the cost and Pay Small Small for the remainder—giving you greater flexibility in how you finance a property.
Which homes can I buy with Pay Small Small?
Selected listings and units in Akristal developments. Ask your broker or agent, or look for "Pay Small Small available" on a development.
Can I pay faster than the schedule?
Tell us when you apply. Your agreement sets out how early payments work.
What if I miss a payment?
Contact us straight away. Your agreement explains what happens with late or missed payments, so read it carefully before you sign.
Is there extra cost for paying in instalments?
Any premium for longer plans is shown in the calculator above and stated in your agreement.
