Due to the fact that when registering a mortgage, land becomes the subject of collateral, certain features are associated with the conclusion of the agreement:
- the site should be located no more than 100 meters from the city border, preferably no more than 30 km to increase the chances of receiving a positive decision on the loan application;
- the purpose of the land must be for the purpose of constructing an individual construction project; when registering an allotment for farming, it is not allowed; it is possible to sign an agreement for land for running a personal subsidiary plot during the construction of a structure suitable for living on it;

- the land must be located in an accessible area, to which a road has been built and access is possible.
Since this type of transaction is due to a certain status of the property, and the mortgaged property is considered illiquid - the purchasing power is very low, such loan programs provide for increased interest rates of up to 20% annually. This tariff, in accordance with the bank’s credit policy, allows us to guarantee coverage of the risks of non-payment of debt.

VTB24 is ready to issue a loan for the purchase of land in a fairly large amount compared to other institutions - up to 50 million rubles. Such plots are suitable not only for individual construction purposes, but also for commercial purposes to generate profit for enterprises.

For this purpose, specific deadlines are established that must be strictly observed, or it will be regarded as a violation of the terms of the contract, and the funds are considered to be not used for the intended purpose, which entails termination of the agreement and the imposition of sanctions on the borrower with significant losses and putting the collateral up for public auction in order to sale and receipt of funds to cover mortgage debt.
Their availability is checked at the stage of approval of the application and conclusion of the contract.
Typically, a down payment of 20% is required. Payment of at least part of the debt is not provided through maternity capital funds, the Affordable Housing program and other government subsidies. For comparison, Sberbank of Russia offers a rate of 13% per annum when making a 50% contribution.
