Mortgage in shared construction in Russia. Key Points
Mortgage in shared construction is available to Russians since 2008. The basis of this type of loan is the purchase of an apartment during the construction of the building.
If we talk about the contract with the developer, the following data should be mentioned:
1. All information about the shared construction project;
2. The cost of the apartment and terms of payment for it;
3. The purchase object must have a warranty period of at least 5 years;
4. Also, in the contract, the parties prescribe the period of transfer of residential property to the participant of shared construction;
5. The plan of the apartment, its quadrature is specified;
After signing, the contract is transferred to the state authorities for registration, then to the bank, which transfers the money to the account of the developer. Since the apartment at this time does not yet exist, the borrower’s rights to it become a pledge.
Also, do not forget that the mortgage in shared construction involves life insurance of the borrower and not the object of the loan, which, as already mentioned, in fact.
If the builder violates the terms of the contract, the buyer has the right to terminate it. In this case, the bank returns the borrower the money spent with interest.
