A mortgage: how to make a better decision

It is important to consider the nuances regarding repayment mortgage, the details of which are specified in the body of the contract. Pay attention to the typical things that bank employees do not like to mention aloud. The real overpayment may be more than it is written in capital letters in the promotional materials. Various commissions and interest on these and other additional payments can greatly increase the cost of housing, increasing the advertising interest rate by half, and sometimes two times. A mortgage with annuity payments, where payments are made in equal installments during the term of the mortgage, is not advantageous . It is better to choose options, where the payments are reduced in proportion to the remaining loan amount. The more frequent the changes of the payment amount take place, the more profitable for the recipient of a loan the contract is.

Ads for mortages often promise a way to get a property “right now”, guaranteeing standard registration and certification. The thing you might not expect is that it can say that the apartment pledged. Thus, the tenant can be registered only with the permission of the bank. Also, the bank can refuse to allow you to sell or to lease the apartment.  At the same time, another bank could provide the borrower with greater freedom. It’s important to clarify these factors in advance.

Getting a mortgage, you're getting into a close relationship with the bank as well. From the contract and applications, you'll learn that the bank has the right to check your location to make sure you disappear, and that they get all your payments properly. The bank also cares about the employment of the borrower. In case income gets lower the bank may require the early repayment of a mortgage loan. You are required to submit certain information to the bank annually. It is usually information about a lack of public debt, and data on incomes. Also, the credit institution has the right in the contract to ask you for this information at any other time in its sole discretion. In short term mortgage the borrower must submit documents to the bank for change of residence, marital status, change of place of work and other cases specified in the contract. All these difficulties will continue until you have paid the full amount of money owed to the bank on a mortgage. Thus, you must be mentally prepared for this close interaction.

If there is a situation when a client, thinking over the proposed version of the mortgage contract, wants to make amendments and additions to some of its points the bank usually refuses, offering only one option - a standard contract. The process of the contract agreement with the bank is rather formal. The new version of the agreement must be endorsed by the representatives of numerous banking services, and then it must be sent to be signed by the head of the bank. It is doubtful that a major bank will agree to such a cumbersome mechanism for an average borrower. Therefore, if you are not satisfied with something in the contract, you either need to look for another bank which offers mortgage loans, or to reconsider your opinion and sign an agreement on the terms of the bank.

To sum up, I want to warn the potential borrower, who got the approval of the application for a mortgage loan not to be excessively emotional. Before the finish line once again pay attention to these typical details in the contract. Hire a competent lawyer to read and evaluate the contract. Only after this, make a decision on whether to accept the terms of the mortgage and move into a new apartment.
