Transfer of mortgage from Sberbank to VTB Bank

General concepts

Refinancing is a way of fulfilling debt obligations on favorable terms with a change in the identity of the borrower. This is the same loan, issued to repay the original one from another bank. The purpose of the loan does not matter (car loan, mortgage, etc.).

If there are several obligations, this is the only way to close all loans in exchange for one agreed upon on favorable terms. The procedure allows you to significantly reduce the annual interest and reduce monthly expenses.

Requirements for clients

A group of citizens meeting the following criteria can exercise the right to refinance a mortgage:

1. Citizenship of the Russian Federation.
2. The age limit is 21-70 years at the beginning of the procedure.
3. Permanent registration (registration).
4. Stability of monthly income with a value of at least 10 thousand Russian rubles.
5. Work experience: total – at least one year, at the last place of employment – ​​at least 3 months.

VTB puts forward its own requirements for the possibility of transferring a loan from another bank:

• the duration of loan payments is at least 3 months;
• no overdue payments or debts for the last six months;
• ruble currency;

Refinancing is allowed for the following types of loans:

Overdue credit is not transferable.

Requirements for the borrower

Basic requirements for the candidate if he is applying for a mortgage transfer to another bank:

1. Having Russian citizenship.
2. Registration is permanent or temporary. The Passport must have a registration stamp. If it is not there, then you must provide a registration document.
3. Positive credit history.
4. Age from 20 to 65 years.
5. Work experience at last place was six months. Total work experience over the last 5-6 years from one year.

If this is the first job for a young person, where he has been employed for six months, then many banks require at least a year of experience. Provided that the candidate is under 25 years of age.

At Sberbank, the age requirements are softer. You can get a mortgage from 21 to 75 years of age.

Required documents

A bank client can become a participant in the program if he provides a certain package of documents, which include:

1. Passport of a Russian citizen.
2. Tax return.
3. Certificate from the place of employment.
4. Income report.
5. SNILS.

How does the mortgage refinancing procedure and documents work?

Now we’ll talk in more detail about how to refinance a mortgage loan with another bank and how to transfer a mortgage effectively. This process consists of a number of stages:

1. Contacting the bank for preliminary consultation on refinancing.
2. Collection of documents for approval (application form, passports, income certificate, SNILS, copy of employment record, military service for men under 27 years old, certificate from the bank about the balance of mortgage debt and the absence of current arrears, certificate about the quality of mortgage repayment from the beginning to the current date or statement of cash flow in the account, loan agreement and schedule).
3. Receiving a positive decision on refinancing (4-5 days). Further, it is really about 120 days.
4. Permission from your current bank to transfer the collateral (Sberbank almost always refuses to transfer the collateral, so you need to get a shift refusal from them).
5. Providing documents on your property (appraisal, Unified State Register, etc. a detailed list can be obtained from your loan officer).
6. The refinancing bank issues a new loan and transfers money to your creditor bank to pay off the mortgage (they may first ask for a certificate of the balance of the mortgage). The refinanced loan is closed (when refinancing a mortgage, check the conditions for early repayment of the current mortgage in advance; you may need to write an application for early repayment).
7. Change of mortgage holder for an apartment. This is the most difficult and confusing stage. It differs from bank to bank in terms of implementation. Refinancing a mortgage at the Bank of Moscow and VTB 24 assumes that the banks, independently and without the participation of the borrower, will spend 3-4 months dealing with the transfer of the mortgage between the banks (the security for which the holder of the pledge and the conditions under the mortgage agreement for your apartment are determined) and the registration of a new entry in it by holder. During this period, the mortgage rate will be increased by 2%. The mortgage, if it was provided for in the mortgage agreement, is always in the bank; you do not have it in your hands. At Raiffeisenbank, after paying off a mortgage with a third-party bank, the borrower must himself receive the mortgage from the bank and transfer it to Raiffeisenbank. Next, the new mortgage is registered and a mark is made about the new mortgage holder.

Is it possible to refinance a mortgage with your own bank? This procedure is extremely rare, because it is not profitable for the bank to lose income and, most likely, you will be refused.
