More and more Russian families are using mortgages to improve their living conditions. Mortgage insurance provided allows you to minimize the risks of the insured (i.e., the borrower of a mortgage loan). The insurer will promptly compensate for damage caused to the insured property and compensate the bank for the remaining portion of payments in the event of the death or disability of the borrower. In accordance with current legislation, obtaining insurance when obtaining a mortgage loan is mandatory.
Mortgage insurance from RESO
offers comprehensive mortgage insurance, allowing you to avoid unpleasant consequences in the event of an insured event. RESO specialists will be able to issue the following types of mortgage insurance:
- Mortgage life insurance. In the event of the death of the policyholder, the insurance company compensates the bank for the remaining portion of the loan to be paid. If the insurance premium exceeds the value of the mortgage, the balance will be paid to the insured's heirs.
- Mortgage health insurance. In case of loss of ability to work as a result of illness or accident (receipt of the first or second group of disability), the insurance company will also pay the bank the outstanding part of the loan.
- Apartment mortgage insurance (property insurance). The property may be damaged as a result of a fire, utility accident or gas explosion, as well as from other reasons. If the insured property is damaged, the insurance company will compensate for the damage caused.
- Apartment mortgage insurance (property rights). If current legislation was violated during the execution of a real estate transaction, the insurance amount will be able to cover losses in the event of loss or limitation of rights to property.
Mortgage insurance is beneficial to all parties to the contract. The bank eliminates the risk of non-payment under the loan agreement, and the borrower will not lose rights to the property if an insured event occurs.
What types of mortgage insurance are considered basic?
There are three main types of mortgage insurance, each of which includes typical cases:
- The first and most important thing is property insurance. The following are considered typical for compensation: cases of fire or fire, floods, earthquakes, natural disasters, including man-made ones, theft of property from an apartment. Insurance covers the entire loan amount to fully compensate for damage in the event of an unforeseen event.
- The second type is personal in nature – life and disability insurance. Insured events include serious illness, injury, and death. It is worth considering that loss of working capacity does not eliminate the obligation to make monthly loan payments.
- The latter type involves title insurance; it minimizes any risks and encroachments on the property purchased by the borrower. These include cases that occur by mistake or as a result of the actions of fraudsters. For example, if in the process of concluding a sales contract the property rights of the seller’s family members who are disabled or under the age of majority, who have the right to claim part of the apartment, were not taken into account. This type of insurance involves payments to the bank in the event of evidence of the illegality of the transaction. That is, if the policyholder is deprived of property rights to housing purchased on credit, the debt to the bank falls on the insurer.

"RESO-Garantiya" - Types of mortgage insurance: apartments and houses
SPJSC "RESO-Garantiya" insures legal entities and capable individuals for mortgages under the following insurance programs:
- from accidents and illnesses;
- property;
- pledged real estate against the risk of loss of ownership.
RESO-Garantiya makes payments for each type of insurance differently. If the borrower dies, the company will pay 100% of the amount, if disability money has not been transferred to him before. The same amount is paid when disability is determined.
But the borrower must remember that filing an application to recognize him as disabled and assigning a group to him must occur during the validity of the insurance contract or no later than 180 days from the date of expiration of its validity. Moreover, if, after paying the premium in full, the client is assigned a more severe disability group or he dies, then he is not entitled to any payments.
If the borrower falls ill and is temporarily unable to work, the company pays 1/30 of the monthly debt for each day of sick leave. This payment should not exceed 0.2% of the total amount for each day. What is noteworthy is that payment starts from 31 days. And for each insured event, no more than 90 days of payment are provided.
What amount will be paid if damage to real estate has been caused depends on the severity of the damage: if the real estate cannot be restored or its repair exceeds the intrinsic value of the property, then the insured amount is paid in full. If the damage can be repaired, then the insurance premium is equal to the amount of restoration repairs.
With title insurance, in the event that the borrower completely loses the property, the insurance is paid at 100%. If part of it is lost, then the premium is equal to the market value of the lost share of the property.
Mortgage insurance at RESO: where is it cheaper to get it?

How not to make a mistake with your choice?
If you don’t know what type of insurance to choose, consider a few points:
- Firstly, the state of your health. If you are not sure about it, and you have been diagnosed with chronic diseases, then it makes sense to take out personal insurance, because if something happens to you, then the entire burden of the loan will fall on the shoulders of your family and friends.
- Secondly, job stability. If the employer’s financial condition is unstable, it makes sense to take out insurance against the risk of job loss and the debtor’s failure to fulfill obligations to the bank.
What happens when the insurance is not paid by the borrower? In this case, the company will simply terminate the contract.
