Most often, applying for a mortgage at a bank entails a lengthy procedure for collecting documents and various certificates, especially if the family has children.
This is understandable; the lender, wanting to protect himself from a reckless transaction, wants to receive the maximum possible amount of information.
Some banks, in an effort to attract customers, have launched a new program that provides a simplified package of documents.
“Victory over formalities” from VTB is just such a program. This offer works throughout the Russian Federation and allows the client to obtain the desired loan with a minimum of documents.
Features of the mortgage “Victory over formalities”
Mortgage is a loan issued by financial institutions for the purchase of real estate. Purchasing an apartment is not a cheap pleasure, which means that the amounts issued for such a loan are considerable.
Due to large amounts and long terms, banks receive considerable income in the form of interest, so they can afford to provide lower interest rates on mortgages compared to standard loans.
What is “Victory over formalities” at VTB? This is a relatively new proposal. Unlike other programs, it does not involve collecting a large package of documents.
Due to the lightweight package of documents, this program received a large number of positive reviews and made this offer quite attractive in the eyes of clients.
The main requirement is that the borrower must provide two documents . Both VTB salary clients and those who have never been a client of the bank can apply for such a mortgage.
“Victory over formalities” does not require the provision of income certificates . But if the client really wants to get a mortgage loan, then it is better to try to confirm his solvency with real documents.
What is a mortgage under the “Victory over formalities” campaign?
Purchasing real estate involves significant financial costs. It is not surprising that the lender carefully reviews applications for large long-term loans. Taking into account the noted initial conditions, the special attractiveness of the current VTB 24 mortgage program Victory over formalities is clear. The main difference compared to analogues is the simplicity of the procedure:
- In addition to the application, only 2 documents are provided (civil passport, SNILS);
- confirmation of official income is not required;
- the decision is made within a day.
The received loan can be used to purchase an apartment in a new building or on the secondary market.
Requirements for the borrower
To get a mortgage under the “Victory over formalities” program, you only need to provide two documents:
- passport;
- SNILS.
If the borrower is a man under the age of 27, he will be required to provide a military ID.
If you are determined to receive a loan under this particular program, it would be a good idea to provide maximum information about the employer.
So, be sure to write down complete information about your employer: TIN, legal address of the organization, landline telephone. A salary certificate will not be superfluous, especially since ordering it will not be difficult. The accounting department can easily provide such information.
Of course, you can provide information about your salary using the bank form by filling out a certificate on the spot. But even in this case, the amount of income will not be the least important.
It is important that the income is at least twice as much as the payment on the future mortgage. In case of low wages, it is allowed to attract co-borrowers from outside, but no more than five people.
After all documents are submitted, the bank checks each potential client for reliability. This is a mandatory procedure.
Absolutely any citizen can apply for a mortgage using two documents, the main thing is that he meets the basic requirements of the bank:
- Age limit - at the time of applying for a mortgage, the borrower must be at least 21 years old, at the time of making the last payment he must be no more than 70 years old;
- Work experience – at least 1 year.
These requirements are relevant not only for the main borrower, but also for co-borrowers and guarantors.
Program “Victory over formalities VTB 24”
The issuance of a loan under this scheme is carried out as follows:
- The bank client submits a loan application, which will be reviewed within 5 days.
- The user provides information on the selected real estate product.
- The applicant appears at the financial institution and presents all necessary documents.
- After the inspection is completed, a purchase and sale agreement is concluded with the seller and a mortgage agreement with a financial institution.
The conclusion of the contract will not be carried out without insurance. This service is mandatory, as it provides protection for the purchased property and property rights. What is it for? Primarily for the purpose of guarantees. The apartment is transferred according to documents to the financial institution issuing the loan. Only after the bank client repays the entire debt in full will the rights to own real estate be transferred to him. Bank employees must be sure that if any unforeseen situations develop, measures will be taken to compensate for expenses.
VTB 24 mortgage “Victory over formalities” is extremely popular in 2020. This is due to the fact that the financial organization meets its clients halfway, providing the most favorable conditions for cooperation in order to purchase real estate.
Before you go to the bank to apply for a mortgage, carefully read the loan terms and conditions. You should pay attention not only to the advantages, but also to the disadvantages, among which the level of penalties should be highlighted.
VTB Bank values every client, therefore it provides mortgage lending services on the most favorable terms for users. Despite this, the financial institution takes all possible measures to reduce the risks of possible expenses when collaborating with unscrupulous users.
Reasons for refusal of a mortgage
This turn of events is very undesirable for the borrower, but still quite real. So, for what reasons, most often, does a bank refuse to issue a mortgage:
- Insufficient salary level - just because the bank does not ask for a salary certificate does not mean that it will not pay attention to the low salary. Thus, it is much easier for an officially working citizen with a guaranteed income to get a loan than for an unemployed applicant.
- Lack of collateral - it is very advisable to provide documents for any other expensive property - a car, an apartment - as a guarantee.
- Unreliability of the client - banks can check this point on previously paid loans. If a client has irregularly made payments on loan obligations in other banks, this characterizes him as not very trustworthy. The chance of getting a mortgage drops significantly.
- Availability of other loans - if the borrower is making payments on other loan obligations at the time of application, then income minus these payments will be taken into account. The remaining amount may not be so large, and it may not be enough to apply for a loan.
- If the borrower does not meet the bank's basic requirements, a refusal is inevitable.
- Submitting false information - wanting to make a favorable impression on the bank, the borrower provided incorrect information about himself, for example, submitted incorrect information about employment.
The borrower must understand that the larger the amount he wishes to receive, the more guarantees the bank expects from him.
Mortgage terms
- The minimum loan amount cannot be less than 600 thousand rubles. The maximum limit varies depending on the region where the loan is received, so for residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg this amount reaches 30 million rubles. Borrowers from other regions can count on a limit of 15 million rubles.
- The maximum term for issuing a loan is 20 years; if financial capacity allows, the term may be shorter.
- The rate also varies; the key criterion here is the volume of acquired space. If the property is less than 65 sq. m, then the rate is higher. When purchasing an apartment above the established limit, the rate will decrease by almost a point.
- The down payment on a mortgage directly depends on the type of property purchased. If money is required to purchase an apartment in a new building, the down payment corresponds to 30% of the cost of the property. When purchasing a secondary property, the bank will require a more significant contribution - 40%.
- An important point is that in the “Victory over formalities” program there is no opportunity to use maternity capital to make a down payment. The borrower must provide this amount from his own savings. Maternity capital can be used to repay the principal amount of the debt after receiving approval from the bank for the loan.
These conditions are valid for 2020 . On the bank’s official website you can get all the necessary information on the terms of the “Victory over formalities” program.
Interest rates and mortgage terms
When working with the “Victory over formalities VTB 24” tariff plan, the conditions differ from the classic version and require separate study.
These include the following parameters:
- the maximum loan term is up to 20 years and can be chosen independently;
- the limit of funds available is limited depending on the region of residence of the borrower. Residents of Moscow and the Moscow region can be guaranteed an amount from 600 thousand to 30 million rubles. Regional maximum threshold – 15 million;
- base interest rate, subject to all additional conditions, from 10.35% (from 65 sq.m.) to 10.85% (up to 65 sq.m.) in the absence of some additional parameters;
- When purchasing an apartment of 100 sq.m. or more, the interest rate starts from 9.95% under the “More meters - lower rate” program.
- the down payment is independent of the type of property purchased and has been increased to 30%, which is a kind of additional guarantee for a banking organization;
- payment is made monthly in the traditional way, early repayment is not subject to a penalty;
- payment with maternity capital is not provided.
The personal requirements for the client are as follows:
- age from 25 to 65 years;
- have permanent registration in the region;
- there is no need to confirm income;
- To increase the chance of a positive response, you can attract an additional guarantor.
How to get a mortgage at a lower interest rate
- Taking out insurance - this item is not mandatory for obtaining a loan, but is highly desirable, therefore, if you refuse it, the rate increases by a point, and this already deprives the offer of its former attractiveness.
- Being a salary client means having additional privileges. The bank sees the client’s income and understands the level of his solvency. Additional savings in bank accounts will also serve as a guarantee of reliability.
- Many banks enter into partnership agreements with construction companies or real estate firms. If you purchase real estate through such partners, you can also count on an additional discount.
Mortgage insurance
Taking out insurance is one of the most reluctant points of a loan agreement. However, as we have already indicated, you can refuse it, but you will have to pay for such a decision with your own ruble.
So what does insurance include, and is it really necessary?
What does insurance include:
- Personal policy - it is a guarantee that the insurance company through which the insurance was issued, in the event of the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the insurance contract, will make a payment for you. In the event of the death of the primary borrower, the insurance will fully cover all mortgage costs, and the relatives of the deceased will not be charged for the remainder of the mortgage.
- A collateral property policy is a mandatory condition provided by law - any housing purchased with a mortgage loan must be insured. This will allow compensation for damage in the event of a fire, earthquake or any other natural disaster. In this case, the insurance company will also compensate for all damage incurred.
- Title policy - this type of insurance allows you to protect the rights of a co-owner to this property, even if third parties try to claim any rights to this area, they will not succeed.
Many banks, including VTB, work with certain insurance companies, but the borrower can refuse to take out insurance with the bank and enter into an agreement with any other company.
The main thing is that the insurance policy covers all possible risks and gives the bank guarantees for payments in the event of an insured event.
When choosing an insurance company, it is better to turn to those companies that are accredited by the bank. Their list is available on the official VTB website.
However, you can insure yourself with another company. To do this, after issuing an insurance policy, you must submit it to the bank, the latter will check the selected company.
If it meets all the necessary characteristics, the bank accepts this insurance policy. But be prepared for the fact that this procedure may take time, and the company may not be accredited by the bank.
When purchasing insurance externally, you will have to purchase at least two policies . The first is insurance against damage and loss, the second policy is your choice, this can be a title policy or protection of property rights.
All this is necessary, since while the loan is being repaid, the property is pledged to the bank. Bank insurance is a reliable guarantee.
Mortgage calculator
Even without contacting the bank for advice, you can get preliminary information about the size of the down payment, the loan term and the amount of the monthly payment. All this can be calculated using a mortgage calculator. Here you can see how the interest rate and monthly payment will change with changes in the size of the down payment and the mortgage term.
To use the service, you need to go to the official page of the program, here are the fields that need to be filled out . After setting all the necessary parameters, you will see what monthly payment and interest rate will be provided by the bank under these conditions.
But you need to understand that these are only preliminary calculations. During a personal visit to the bank, a specialist will be able to make a more detailed calculation based on your personal capabilities.
