Severance payments: The secret key to unlocking the doors to your new home

If you are looking for a way to take advantage of your severance pay to take the step towards your own home, you've come to the right place. At Conaltura we want to help you transform this savings into the key that will open the doors to your future.

🏡 What are severance payments and what are they for?

Severance payments are a benefit that you receive each year from your employer and are equivalent to one month's salary for each year worked. These funds are destined to:
✔ Buying a home or making improvements to your home.
✔ Pay property-related taxes.
✔ Cover educational expenses.
✔ Serve as a backup in case of unemployment.

We are sure you already knew this, but we want to emphasize the importance of using them wisely. Investing in new housing is one of the best decisions to make.The value of your property increases over time and helps you to build equity.

🔑 How to use your severance pay to buy a home

Taking advantage of this benefit is easier than you think. Just follow these steps:

1. Request the letter of authorization

Your employer must provide you with a letter authorizing the withdrawal of your severance pay with the following information:
✔ Company logo and data.
✔ Name and identification of employer.
✔ Amount authorized and type of withdrawal (total or partial).
✔ Names and identification of the beneficiary (may be the employee or a third party).
💡 Tip: The letter should refer to Article 21 of Law 1429 of 2010, which regulates this type of withdrawal.

2. Visit your severance fund

Go to the entity where you have your severance payments with the authorization letter and your original identification card (take a copy with you). There you will request the immobilization of the funds to be used for the purchase of a home.

3. Present the documentation of the property

With the authorization letter and the confirmation of the severance fund, deliver the document of separation of housing in the corresponding entity. This process guarantees that the funds will be used exclusively for the purchase of your home.
