Articles 6390 +3

To apply for most loan products, virtually no financial costs are required on the part of the potential borrower. The times when banks charged fees for processing loan applications are a thing of the past and the most you will have to spend money on today is making several copies of your passport. A completely different situation arises in the housing loan market, where a person wishing to buy real estate inevitably faces additional mortgage costs, the amount of which can amount to tens of thousands of rubles.

Additional costs when applying for a mortgage

Which branch should I apply to?

You must apply for a mortgage at the following Sberbank branches:

  • in a branch located at the place of registration of the future borrower;
  • at the branch at the location of the property for which the mortgage loan is taken;
  • at the registration address of the organization in which the applicant works.

The borrower, before applying for a mortgage loan, should be absolutely sure that he will be able to make timely payments to the bank, as well as be confident in the stability and reliability of his employer. You need to be able to predict your expenses in order to avoid problems when repaying your mortgage.

If you are in doubt about whether you will have difficulties repaying your mortgage loan, it is recommended that you pre-calculate your monthly payment amount using the mortgage calculator on our website. The mortgage payment amount can be calculated using both the annuity and differentiated options.

How to take out a loan and how to use it

First of all, you need to register on the DomClick portal. A preliminary mortgage calculation can be made without registration. But to create a mortgage application, you can’t do without a personal account on the portal. The application is reviewed within 3 working days. You can also submit an application directly at a bank branch, but then the loan rate will be higher.

A mortgage loan is issued either at the place where the borrower is registered, at the place of state accreditation of the client’s employer, or at the location of the purchased property. Funds can be disbursed either at once or in installments.

The loan is repaid in equal payments every month. The mortgage amount can be repaid ahead of schedule, either partially or in full - to do this, you need to submit an application to a Sberbank branch or online through your Sberbank Online personal account. Early repayment is free of charge.

Step-by-step instructions for obtaining a mortgage

To obtain a mortgage loan from Sberbank, you must complete several mandatory steps. Let's look at the procedure for getting a mortgage step by step.

Stage 1. Choosing the right mortgage program The bank has a large number of different programs for future borrowers, varying depending on the subject and terms of the agreement. In particular, you can get a loan for a residential building, an apartment (in a new building or a finished one), a plot of land, a garage or a parking space.
Stage 2. Choosing a type of mortgage loan In addition to choosing the appropriate program, for example, for purchasing a private home, the borrower can also select a specific type of mortgage lending.
For example, if a citizen wants to get a mortgage at a preferential rate for the purchase of an apartment in a new building, then he can use the State Support 2020 loan. There are also special programs for mortgages for new buildings, state support for mortgages for large families, military mortgages and others.
Stage 3. Preparation of documents An employee of the bank's mortgage department must provide a list of documents required to obtain a mortgage loan. As a rule, you will need the following documents:
  • certificate in form 2-NDFL;
  • a copy of the work book;
  • TIN;
  • SNILS;
  • marriage certificate;
  • child's birth certificate;
  • other documents.
Stage 4. Filing an application The application can be submitted via the Internet or at any Sberbank branch in person.
Stage 5. Valuation of real estate If the application is approved, you will need to order a real estate appraisal report for a mortgage from an appraisal company.
You must contact the bank with the prepared report, after which the amount of the mortgage loan issued is determined, which will be paid to the seller as the cost of the purchased apartment (or other property).
Stage 6. Drawing up a mortgage loan agreement After signing the purchase and sale agreement for the apartment and transferring funds to the seller, the borrower will be able to register ownership rights in the Unified State Register of Real Estate, issue an insurance policy for the property and enter into an agreement with the bank.

After checking the documents provided by the borrower, a specialist in the mortgage department of Sberbank will set a day on which the borrower needs to conclude an agreement with the seller of the apartment, draw up an insurance contract for the property being purchased or for the collateral.

What can't you do without?

The size of the final amount that the borrower must have at his disposal to successfully complete all stages of the mortgage transaction is largely determined by whether the process of obtaining a loan and purchasing a home will be carried out on his own or with the involvement of brokers and realtors, whose commissions amount to up to 80% of the total costs. Let’s imagine that you decide to do without intermediaries, that is, you will independently prepare documents for the bank, search for an apartment and negotiate with the seller. In this case, all your costs can be divided into several groups:

Filing an application. As we noted earlier, the procedure for considering your candidacy is free in absolutely all banks. Provided that the bank makes a positive decision on your candidacy the first time, no additional payments will be required on your part. Otherwise, the situation will arise for those who were unable to immediately obtain the bank’s consent and for those who were unable to reach a deal within the time allotted by the lender. The attitude of banks towards such persons may be different: for some, re-examination of the application is free, while others charge a fee of 1,500 to 2,000 rubles, thereby increasing the costs of applying for a mortgage.

Property valuation. A mandatory condition for granting a loan in all banks is the conclusion by the borrower of an insurance contract for the risk of damage to real estate, which will be purchased using a mortgage loan. Before you proceed directly to insurance, you need to understand how much the home you plan to buy actually costs. This is necessary in order to conclude an agreement with the insurer, who is only interested in the market price. Since the value included in the contract does not always correspond to the market, you will need to contact an independent appraiser who can determine its real value. Today, the fee for assessing an apartment for a mortgage ranges from 3,000 to 6,000 rubles.

Collateral insurance. It is this type of mortgage loan expense that will be the most significant, due to the fact that the price of the insurer’s services directly depends on the cost of housing, which acts as collateral for the loan. Traditionally, the borrower is offered the choice of insuring real estate, his own life and title, that is, the right of ownership. The first type of insurance is mandatory, and the remaining two are optional. Let's assume that your budget is limited and you decide to limit yourself to only the mandatory program. In this case, the fee for insurance services will be from 0.2 to 0.7% of the price of the apartment. Accordingly, the maximum annual payment for an apartment worth 7,000,000 rubles will be 49,000 rubles. At the same time, we must not forget that this payment is not a one-time payment and will be made annually throughout the entire period of debt servicing.

Requirements for obtaining

To be approved, a future borrower must meet certain requirements. The conditions for obtaining a loan from Sberbank are as follows:

  1. Availability of Russian citizenship;
  2. Age at the time of receiving the loan is more than 21 years old, and at the time of repayment of the loan - no more than 75 years;
  3. Work experience at the last place of employment for more than six months and at least 1 year of total work experience over the last five years;
  4. The borrower's spouse will act as an obligatory co-borrower, regardless of his age and solvency.

No more than three citizens can be co-borrowers under a mortgage lending agreement, the amount of their income is taken into account when calculating the maximum mortgage.

Up to what age can you get it?

The age of the borrower is related to the selected program and the term of the mortgage. If applying under the regular program, a Sberbank employee must make sure that at the time of full repayment of the loan, the borrower should not be older than 75 years of age.

For example, if an application is submitted by a citizen aged 63, he will be able to take out a mortgage from a bank for a maximum of only 12 years, until he turns 75.

When providing a mortgage loan using 2 documents (without a work book and a 2-NDFL certificate), the borrower is obliged to fully repay the debt to the bank before the age of 60.

Under the military mortgage program, the age limit of a military personnel cannot exceed 45 years.

If you already have a mortgage with Sberbank

It is possible to take out another mortgage without paying off the first one in full, but it may come with some complications. Sberbank does not provide this opportunity to all citizens.

It is possible to take out a mortgage loan from a bank if you already have one mortgage, but the borrower must meet certain requirements:

  • First of all, you will need to confirm your solvency. An individual's monthly income must be sufficient to repay both the old and new mortgages. Sberbank employees will be able to approve a client’s loan application only if the borrower’s regular payment on the loan is no more than 20% of his confirmed salary;
  • The client applying for a second mortgage must not be in arrears on the old loan, i.e. he must have a good credit history.
  • It will not be possible to get a new mortgage loan without “closing” at least 65% of the previous one. The probability of issuing a mortgage to a bank client increases, the less debt there is on the first mortgage;
  • Insurance and a deposit of the property are mandatory. If the value of the collateral property is less than the amount of debt accumulated on the previous loan, then Sberbank will not approve the application for a new mortgage loan.

If you have a bad credit history

Many citizens wonder whether it is possible to get a mortgage if the borrower has a bad credit history.

If the borrower previously received a loan from a bank and at the same time violated his obligations under the loan agreement (paid irregularly, made late payments), and has a damaged credit history, then this may serve as an obstacle to obtaining a mortgage from Sberbank.

A borrower with a bad credit history can apply, but the bank may compromise and only approve it in certain cases, for example:

  • if the borrower receives a salary on a Sberbank plastic card. This will make it easier for the bank to collect the required monthly mortgage payment. The bank will simply be able to automatically write off funds on a certain day of the month;
  • if the borrower takes out a mortgage loan with a down payment of at least 50 percent of the cost of the purchased property;
  • in the case of a small mortgage loan. If, for example, you buy an inexpensive apartment in a Khrushchev building, the bank can issue a mortgage. And if a citizen wants to purchase a large residential building, then Sberbank will most likely reject the application.

Therefore, you need to understand what you can count on when applying to a bank if you have a bad credit history. Perhaps after refusal, you will have to apply to another bank.

What is a mortgage?

A mortgage is a long-term bank loan issued for the purchase of a specific property. It is secured by a mortgage for the bank, entered in the land and mortgage register of the property whose purchase or construction is financed by this loan. Difficult? Only at first glance.

The mortgage amount is usually at least several hundred thousand rubles (and in some cases can reach several millions). A mortgage loan is provided for several years or even decades (currently banks provide real estate loans for up to 35 years).

Economists note that it is best to take out a mortgage for a period of no more than 15-20 years. It should be remembered that the longer the loan terms, the greater the overpayment amount.

If you can afford to pay a slightly higher premium, you should shorten the loan term.

The security for the purchase of an apartment or the construction of a single-family home is a mortgage to the bank, entered into the land and mortgage register that is kept for the property.

A land and mortgage registry is a document that describes the legal status of a property. Thanks to the information it contains, it is possible to determine who has what rights to this property. The land and mortgage register consists of four sections. The mortgage is entered in the fourth section of the land and mortgage register.

The mortgage provides security and allows the bank to lay claim to the property regardless of whose property it is. This means that even if the person who received the loan sells the property, the bank has the right to assert its claims against it.

Required set of documents

To draw up a mortgage agreement, the client must submit the necessary documents to Sberbank. As a rule, the standard list consists of the following papers:

  • the application itself, filled out on the bank’s letterhead (can also be filled out online on the website);
  • passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation and copies of passports of co-borrowers;
  • 2-NDFL certificate or other document in the bank form confirming income;
  • a copy of the work record book or a certificate from the employer containing information about the position and length of service;
  • TIN;
  • SNILS;
  • Extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate for collateral (if necessary);

In addition to these documents, Sberbank employees may additionally request other documents depending on the mortgage program:

  • certificate of participation in the NIS (savings-based mortgage system) for providing housing to military personnel - to obtain a Military mortgage;
  • birth certificate of children and marriage - to obtain a Mortgage with state support for families with children.
  • a certificate for maternity (family) capital, a certificate from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation about the balance of funds in the account - to obtain a loan under the “mortgage plus mat. capital".

When is the down payment made on a Sberbank mortgage?

The down payment for a mortgage usually comes from the future homeowners' own funds. Most often this amount is divided into 2 parts.

mortgage for a new building

The first is an advance or deposit. In the first case, if the transaction does not take place for one reason or another, the entire amount is returned to the buyer. In the second case, if the buyer is the culprit for abandoning the home, then the money remains with the seller, and if the seller, then he compensates the second party for the deposit in double the amount.

The amount of the first part of the advance is determined by agreement between the parties. More often this is an amount in the range of 50,000-100,000 rubles. It is handed over to the seller upon signing the preliminary purchase and sale agreement.

The second part is given on the day of registration of the transaction, when the main purchase and sale agreement is drawn up. The loan documentation is signed on the same date.

If we are talking about cash, then the necessary inscriptions are made on the purchase and sale agreements (both preliminary and main). Additionally, specifically for Sberbank, they write a receipt confirming receipt of funds. It is advisable that the seller write it personally and sign it only in the presence of the buyer.

If a non-cash transfer is intended, then a bank document confirming the fact of transfer of money is sufficient.

Can a client take a deferment on mortgage payments?

A deferment on a mortgage taken out from Sberbank can be made only if the borrower has documented the reasons why he is currently unable to pay the loan.

To apply for a deferment, the bank client must fill out an application to the bank in a free form, in which he needs to write about the reasons for the deferment, for example, layoffs at work, etc.

The grounds for deferment of mortgage payments from a bank may include:

  • the borrower's conscription into the army;
  • loss of job;
  • the birth of a child in the borrower’s family;
  • going on maternity leave;
  • delay of wages;
  • loss of a breadwinner;

If the bank approves the application for deferment, the terms of the mortgage loan agreement will be subject to change - the size of the monthly payment is reduced or the mortgage term is increased.

A deferment at Sberbank can be provided for a period of 1 to 3 years, based on the reasons specified by the borrower in the application. But it does not relieve the borrower from having to pay interest on the mortgage agreement.

How much should the salary be?

The bank does not have a specific salary amount for issuing a mortgage. It will depend on several factors, for example, on what kind of real estate the client wants to purchase with loan funds.

If he is going to buy a country house worth 15 million rubles, and his salary is 25 thousand rubles, then his application, of course, will not be approved. The cost of making regular mortgage payments cannot exceed 50% of the documented salary or other income of the potential borrower.

We are talking only about wages reflected in the certificate in form 2-NDFL or in the form of Sberbank. If the client cannot document his earnings (for example, he receives his salary in an envelope), then the bank will not approve the application for a mortgage loan.

If the borrower’s income is insufficient to obtain a mortgage, the bank can take into account the client’s additional earnings, for example, funds from renting out an apartment under a rental agreement, interest on a deposit and other types of income.

How long should the work experience be?

To take out a mortgage from Sberbank under standard programs, the borrower’s work experience must be:

  • more than six months at the last place of employment;
  • for at least 12 months over the past five years.

But the bank can make an exception for its clients who receive wages on a Sberbank card. In this case, only the first condition must be met - the mortgage is issued if he worked for at least 6 months at his last job.

I plan to purchase an apartment with a mortgage and rent it out daily. What is the best way to pay taxes?

Divorced with husband. There is an apartment with a joint mortgage. At the moment, my husband lives alone in this apartment.

The apartment has a mortgage in 1/4 shares. According to a written agreement with my wife, I received a deduction on interest in the amount of 3/4 (for myself and children).

I have paid 2/3 of the mortgage payments, the property on the mortgage with the 2nd borrower (not married) for 1/2 share each.

The question is the following: in the shared participation agreement there is a clause that I, as a participant in shared construction, bear the costs associated with the transfer of funds to the Developer.

The husband paid the mortgage, the wife was a co-borrower, is it possible to transfer the apartment entirely to the wife after the mortgage is paid off?

Please answer the question. And having moved into a house taken out with a mortgage (maternity capital)

The apartment was purchased with a mortgage as a common joint property. After some time, the family broke up, and for many years I have been paying the mortgage and all expenses for the apartment alone.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to find out the reason for the disapproval of a mortgage application from a bank. Such information cannot be provided to clients by bank employees. In order to increase the likelihood of approval of the application at Sberbank, the borrower needs to familiarize himself in detail with all the terms and conditions of mortgage lending.

The most common reasons for refusal to issue a mortgage for the purchase of an apartment in Sberbank are:

  • insufficient income of a citizen;
  • bad credit history;
  • borrower age mismatch;
  • the borrower has uncovered loans to other banks;
  • inconsistency of information submitted by the borrower, corrections, inaccuracies in documents.

At Sberbank, citizens of the Russian Federation can take out a mortgage loan under various programs, including for the purchase of an apartment in a new building from a developer, secondary housing, or a private house. Individual conditions apply to each borrower. Before taking out a mortgage loan from Sberbank, you must carefully study all the bank's requirements.

After choosing a suitable program, the client needs to submit an application, prepare the necessary documents, select a property, discuss all the conditions with the seller and come to an agreement, order a report from an appraiser, conclude a purchase and sale agreement, register the property in Rosreestr, and only then execute a mortgage agreement loan.

If a citizen has a reliable job with a high salary, has a good credit history, then the chances of getting a mortgage are very high.

But, if the borrower works for a salary “in an envelope”, cannot confirm its size, has a bad credit history, and cannot attract guarantors, then the bank will make a negative decision on the application for a mortgage loan.

Registration procedure

The procedure itself depends on what kind of housing the loan is issued for - primary or secondary. The primary one is much simpler. It is necessary to choose a developer from those who work under the bank’s affiliate program. After the application is approved, the property is registered as collateral, and then the loan funds are transferred.


If you want to get a mortgage loan, you should carefully study all the conditions and the procedure itself.

In the case of an apartment or house from the secondary market, the procedure is more complicated, since the client will have to provide an assessment and documents for the property for verification by specialists from the credit department.

Boundaries of the borrower's rights regarding the collateral apartment

Every future borrower should learn to distinguish between reasonable and legal restrictions on property rights in housing with encumbrances and cunning bank tricks. For example, some restrictions are really necessary, such as:

  • rental of mortgaged housing;
  • uncoordinated redevelopment;
  • ban on the sale of collateral.

Is it possible to get a mortgage from Sberbank with a bad credit history?

If a client previously took out a loan or mortgage and had problems with payments: there were delays, payments were received by the bank irregularly, then the bank can add him to the database of clients with a bad credit history. And then the chances of getting a mortgage from banks are reduced to zero.

Sberbank may consider a potential borrower for a mortgage even with a bad credit history. The bank will make concessions to the client only if the borrower’s credit history is not seriously damaged, and also if:

  • the client receives wages on a Sberbank card. In this case, it will be easier for the bank to request the required amount of monthly payment from him. It will simply automatically debit money on a specific date;
  • the client will take out a mortgage with a down payment of 50% of the cost of housing;
  • the client wants to take out a mortgage for a small amount. For example, if he wants to buy an apartment on the secondary market, the bank can approve the application. If the client plans to buy a country house or apartment, then the bank may refuse.
  • Reasons for refusal to issue a mortgage at Sberbank

    It will not be possible to find out the reason for the refusal to issue a mortgage. This is confidential information, so bank employees do not disclose it. Therefore, a potential borrower should carefully study all the rules and comply with the necessary conditions in order for his application to be approved.

    Most often, Sberbank refuses to issue a mortgage for the purchase of housing for the following reasons:

    • bad credit history;
    • inaccurate information in documents submitted to the bank (for example, certificate 2-NDFL is not true);
    • presence of other outstanding loans;
    • insufficient income of the borrower;
    • non-compliance with basic requirements - for example, a person does not fit the age range.

    Sberbank offers clients a large number of mortgage programs that are suitable for purchasing a new building, an apartment on the secondary market, a house and even a garage . The bank has developed individual programs for each client. Before taking out a mortgage from Sberbank, you need to read the terms and conditions of its provision.

    If the borrower is satisfied with everything, then he sends an application, collects documents, looks for housing, negotiates with the seller, provides real estate documents to the bank, draws up a purchase and sale agreement, registers ownership of the property, arranges insurance and only then signs the mortgage agreement.

    If the client has a positive credit history, a stable job with good earnings, and has collateral, then he is more likely to have his mortgage application approved.

    If the client cannot confirm his income, has a negative credit history, and has no co-borrowers, then the bank will refuse to issue him a mortgage.
