Credit

While planning a real estate purchase transaction, the interested parties frequently ask questions about borrowing opportunities.

In such cases they are referred to our independent credit intermediary partner where, thanks to existing financial institution relationships covering the whole market, the clients are presented with several offers. After that they are able to select the most suitable construction.

Credit application process in 11 steps

  1. The client selects the most suitable property from the offered choices.
  2. Upon consent by the client, the relevant contact details are transferred to our intermediary partner, facilitating the fastest way of contacting the would-be buyer.
  3. Following a quick data check, our credit intermediary partner contacts the financial institutions with a potential to provide credit to the customer in the specific circumstances.
  4. Our client selects the offer with the most suitable conditions.
  5. Assisted by our intermediary partner, the customer gathers the documents deemed necessary for credit appraisal according to the requirements of the particular financial institution.
  6. The credit application is submitted. After that, that bank appoints an appraiser to establish the lending value of the specific real estate. During the appraisal the financial institution may request further documentation. In certain cases a (additional) guarantor or collateral may be required.
  7. The credit appraisal is completed which, all being well, gives the green light for purchasing the selected residential property or investment.
  8. The attorney responsible for drafting the sale and purchase agreement is given the formal requirements of the lending financial institution applicable to sales contracts, based on which the agreement is drawn up. The sales agreement is signed, a copy of which is handed over to the lending institution. The internal proceedings necessary for signing the credit agreement are initiated accordingly.
  9. The credit agreement is signed and notarised.
  10. The own contribution is paid by the buyer (debtor) in full. The buyer submits the declaration of own funds and the applicable home insurance policy.
