Is it possible to take a mortgage in Russia without an initial installment
Mortgage in Russia is associated with lifelong bondage, which is due to high house prices in comparison with average incomes and a high interest rate (from 10% and higher). As a result, the payment schedule for the average family is stretched almost to retirement. The average term of mortgage loans is 17 years. During this time, the borrower overpays two or three times the cost of the apartment.
Often the borrower has difficulties with the initial payment, but rather with his absence. What to do if the first installment for a mortgage you have not accumulated yet, and you do not want to rent a house any more? And how to save up, if renting an apartment "eats" an impressive portion of income !? To take a mortgage without an initial installment often seems like the only solution to the housing issue for many borrowers, but is it real? What are the features and pitfalls of such a loan?
An important point - to take a mortgage without an initial payment is possible only in the secondary real estate market, since lending in the primary housing sector involves high risks (double sales, long-term construction and others). If these risks are added to the likelihood of non-repayment of a long-term loan, issued without a down payment, the bank's risks multiply. Naturally, on such terms, credit institutions are not ready and will not work.
As the banks justly consider , a mortgage without a down payment is a rather risky business, therefore the interest rate in this case will be higher than for a mortgage with an advance.
Also keep in mind that when you register for a mortgage, you will need the services of an appraiser and insurance of the real estate itself.
There are two possibilities to take a mortgage without an initial installment. The first option is to issue a consumer loan in one bank for the first installment and the mortgage itself. At the same time, revenues should allow repayment of both loans, therefore, this option is suitable for borrowers with high solvency. According to the requirements of banks, no more than 30% of the net monthly income of the borrower should go to repay a mortgage. Net income - all documented income (wages, pensions, allowances, etc.), net of obligations (loans, alimony).
So, to take a mortgage without an initial payment can young able-bodied people with high official wages, with a positive credit history, wishing to purchase housing in the secondary market, and ideally - having a free liquid real estate (their own or third parties) for a second mortgage.
