To have your own apartment is probably the dream of every young family. However, not everyone can afford such a luxury: the value of real estate is currently breaking all records. But do not be upset! Thanks to the recently appeared type of lending - mortgages - this desire of young people has become feasible!

The essence of the mortgage

Mortgage is nothing more than a loan for the purchase of a property (apartment or house). Unlike other types of loans, this offer is long-term, issued for about 10-15 years. And this is quite understandable: not everyone will be able to pull huge payments in the case of providing a mortgage for a short time. And if you divide this amount by a long 120 or more months, you get a very real value.

The second feature of the mortgage is the obligatory pledge of the purchased property as loan security. The bank needs this to gain confidence in the next day. After all, even if the client does not pay alldebts on time, the creditor will only benefit: the apartment / house will become his property.

The third distinguishing feature of the type of lending in question (this is what you need to get a mortgage without fail) is the presence of a down payment. If, when receiving a consumer loan, no one asks about the availability of own funds, then here you simply cannot do without them. Usually the minimum value of the first installment is 10-20% of the value of the property.

Stages of mortgage registration

If you want to get a loan to buy an apartment / house, you should do the following basic steps:

• Find your desired property. It should be noted that new buildings are more preferable for the bank. So, often when buying an apartment in a newly built house, the lender issues a loan at more attractive interest rates.
• Prepare the required package of documents.
• Apply to the bank for a mortgage. It is best to contact several organizations at once. Perhaps one of them will approve the loan.
• If the response to the submitted application is positive, contact the branch of the financial institution to draw up a loan agreement.
• If necessary, arrange insurance for real estate, life and he alth of the borrower.

As you can see, getting a loan for real estate is not so easy, this process will take a lot of time. But nothing in the future can be compared with the result of such a case - living in your apartment. Moreover, knowing the main stagesmortgage processing, everything can be done much faster.

Mortgage: conditions for obtaining

Now most financial institutions offer their services in issuing a loan for the purchase of real estate. All their products have their own distinctive features, their own criteria and requirements. But there are several basic conditions that are almost the same in many companies. They are:

• The value of interest rates in this type of lending most often takes values from 10 to 16% per annum. No bank can give exact information on this matter, since it depends on many factors (borrower's income, mortgage term, etc.).

• Terms of lending. This item is selected based on the solvency of the borrower and his own wishes.
• Repayment of debt in the form of monthly payments to the bank account. The values of all amounts are agreed in advance in the loan agreement.

• Conducting appraisal work. This is done by independent appraisal agencies. Required in order tofor the bank to verify the reality of the named cost of the apartment/house.
• Providing income statements. This will allow the lender not to doubt the solvency of the borrower.

Insurance and mortgages

When applying for a mortgage loan, the provision ofinsurance policy for the purchased property. This is done in order to protect both the borrower and the bank from unforeseen situations: fires, earthquakes, etc. As you know, such insurance is valid in most cases for one year. But this does not mean at all that after this time you can forget about real estate insurance! The subject of the loan must be protected from risks until the client of the financial institution fully repays the loan payments.

The property insurance policy is not the only required document from the UK. So, very often the lender needs other insurance when applying for a mortgage. Namely: a life and he alth insurance policy, the borrower's performance. Of course, according to Russian law, banks do not have the right to force a client to take out this type of insurance. Financial institutions, in principle, do so, but at the same time make a reservation that if they refuse it, the interest rate will rise by 1 percentage point.

It is worth noting that not always a bank client can buy the required policy in any insurance company. Most often, the lender puts forward his requirements for the choice of the latter, and sometimes provides a list of accredited companies, among which you can choose the most suitable one.
