I seem to remember something along the lines of five years. Of course, people re-mortgage each time. WHen I visited my future wife's family I was flabbergasted when I found out. I just had visions of an old silent movie with the girl tied to the railroad track and the farm being seized by some guy with a big mustache.

Most home loans here are 15-25 years, renewed every 305 years. If you finance more than 85% or the home value you pay an extra insurance fee, and financing above 95% of value is extremely rare.
