Tired of living with your parents or in a rented apartment? if you have a small official salary?

There is no legally established amount of salary or other official income sufficient to approve a mortgage. Each bank or financial institution-lender considers the issue of mortgage lending individually, taking into account many factors relating to the borrower and the property that will be the subject of the mortgage.

A positive or negative verdict on the approval of a mortgage loan for real estate depends on the ratio of the officially received salary and:

• the cost of living (set individually for each region);
• family composition: the number of able-bodied family members, the number of minors and those not working for any reason are taken into account;
• necessary living expenses, including expenses of all family members to close previously taken loans.

In a standard situation, when considering an application for a mortgage, the lender tries to approve a loan amount that does not exceed 40-50% of the family’s net total income. If the calculation shows that the funds for accommodation, food and repayment of credit debts exceed the subsistence level for each family member, then obtaining a mortgage can become a reality.

Important! The activities of each bank are specific. Some allow a credit load limit of up to 60% of the borrower’s official income, others do not take into account dependent persons (thereby increasing the “net” income). There are organizations that accept unofficial earnings “on faith,” which also increases the chances of getting a mortgage and the loan amount.

The collateral for mortgage lending is the purchased real estate

You should not hope that banks want to help the borrower. Remember, the collateral for a mortgage loan is the purchased real estate, which is essentially the property of the bank, and in the event of serious violations of obligations to repay the mortgage loan, the collateral can be sold at auction to cover all losses and expenses of the bank. Therefore, be sure to consult with a specialist before agreeing to the “favorable” conditions offered by credit institutions.

Our company is often contacted by clients whose banks refuse mortgage loans because their official salary is insufficient to repay the debt. Our experience suggests that there is a way out, the lack of large incomes is not a reason to remain in uncomfortable living conditions.

"Unified Financial Center" will always advise on the acquisition of a mortgage in complex cases, both in person and by telephone. Our mortgage brokers have worked in banks for many years, are familiar with banking tricks and pitfalls that await the borrower, so they will describe in as much detail as possible what you will have to face and what difficulties you should expect.

Mortgage loan with small white salary

There are several ways to solve the problem. Our experience suggests that you can achieve a positive verdict (approved application for a mortgage) using the following actions:

Fill out the bank's regulated form

When providing a certificate of income, you must make sure that the certificate contains information about the borrower’s length of work (continuous experience of 6 months, some banks require that the experience in one workplace be at least 2 years) and the amount of monthly salary. Usually, a copy of the work book and certificate 2 of the personal income tax act as confirmation. Also, data on the wages of all family members, minus expenses for basic needs, is entered into the bank form. Income must be sufficient to pay loan installments.

Always remember that the bank's security service can always verify the authenticity of the issued certificate and the employer company that issued this certificate.

The certificate must have a blue seal and the signature of the head of the company where the borrower works, the legal details of the company and current contacts must be indicated. The address for submitting the document is indicated on the certificate: “For submission to the bank XXX: branch, number.”

Many banks understand the realities of today, when employees receive most of their salaries in envelopes and the provided certificates indicate the official salary of the borrower, which may differ significantly from the real one. In this case, banks sometimes turn a blind eye to small official salaries and issue a positive verdict in approving the mortgage.

Attention! Heads of organizations (or business owners) often refuse to issue income certificates, citing such refusal as a reluctance to show off their income to the Federal Tax Service. In fact, the information transmitted to the bank is confidential and is not transmitted to the tax service.

Specify additional income

It is easier to take out a mortgage loan with a small salary if you have additional income and the bank allows you to include it in the general calculations. In this case, in addition to the official salary certificate, the following is added to the package of documents:

• an extract with a blue stamp from the pension fund (if one of the family members receives a pension of any type);
• a certificate from the educational institution confirming receipt of a scholarship and its amount (if there are students in the family);
• certificates of receipt of social benefits and various additional sources of income, such as alimony, maternity funds, various benefits and other types of social assistance.

Important! Providing a copy of the housing and vehicle lease with confirmation of timely payment of monthly rent also influences the receipt of a positive response to mortgage approval, even if the salary is small.

Contact co-borrowers and guarantors

If your income is insufficient to pay monthly mortgage installments, it is possible to attract third parties who will act as an “additional factor” for mortgage approval. How does this work? A package of documents is collected for the co-borrower and the guarantor, and accordingly the total income increases.

The following may act as a co-borrower:

• Family member with higher salary. In this case, it is more advisable to take out a mortgage on it, since banks are more willing to issue loans to citizens with high incomes.
• Individual: friends, colleagues, acquaintances and relatives.
• Legal entity. For example, an employer company.

Provide your own savings as a down payment on your mortgage

The bank needs guarantees of the client’s solvency, so the borrower’s own money in the amount of 20-30% of the requested loan amount will be an excellent “insurance”. If there are enough personal funds for such a guarantee, the chances of getting a mortgage increase significantly. In a number of banks, for a first payment of 50% or more of the loan amount, they do not require a certificate of income at all.

Attention! With a down payment of 50% of the mortgage loan amount, many banks do not require income certificates at all. And in such cases, banks often make a decision to approve a mortgage with a favorable interest rate for the borrower.

How to raise your own funds

Since we are talking about an impressive amount, not every person has such “reserves”. There are several solutions to the problem:

• take out a consumer loan (or several) from various organizations;
• borrow from wealthy friends or relatives. As a rule, relatives lend without interest or with an overpayment of less than in banks;
• You can use maternity capital.

It is also possible to get a mortgage with a small salary by taking part in preferential mortgage lending. If the borrower belongs to one of the categories of “beneficiaries” who are helped by the state - a military serviceman, a young public sector specialist, the father or mother of a large or low-income family, then there is a chance to receive a housing loan on preferential terms.

Bank lending programs based on two documents: pros and cons

Bankers are aware that the salary-price ratio for real estate in the Russian Federation is quite conditional. More than half of citizens are unable to provide a certificate of income that meets the requirements of credit institutions.

Therefore, in the current realities, some banks have developed programs under which you can get a loan with just two documents - a passport and another identification document, for example, a foreign passport or SNILS. This is a big plus for a large number of people who want to purchase a home with a mortgage. But this “simplified” mortgage program also has its drawbacks.

Disadvantages of such programs:

• such a program provides for a higher interest rate, which means a larger overpayment;
• the down payment increases to 40-50%;
• The existing credit history is carefully checked; if there are any delays, there is a risk of refusal.

Fraud or a way out of a difficult situation: purchasing documents

Today in the financial market there are services for selling documents with an “official” large salary. Citizens who want to get a mortgage with low incomes often use such services, believing that there is no other way out. In fact, there are a number of negative factors in this approach:

• There is a risk that the bank's security service will check the reputation of the company providing the Form 2 personal income tax certificate. The bank can also make a request to the tax office of the employer’s company and pension fund, where in case of fraud the whole truth will emerge.
• The bank can call the company using the contacts provided and expose the fraud. Moreover, there can be several calls from different phones. As a result, the borrower will be blacklisted by all partner banks.

Payment of wages “in an envelope” is a common phenomenon. It is more difficult for a person whose work is rewarded in this way to get a loan, including a mortgage, but “difficult” does not mean “impossible.” We'll tell you how to get a mortgage if your official salary is low.

A solvent borrower – who is he?

Any bank as a credit institution is interested in providing loans, including mortgages, to the maximum number of clients. If he decides to refuse a mortgage loan, there are 1-3 of three good reasons for this:

• the client is not able to guarantee the bank the return of borrowed funds by any of the methods given in this article below;
• the total income of the borrower’s family is below the indicators provided for by law, according to which all funds or the lion’s share cannot be spent on repaying the loan;
• A large financial institution already has enough mortgagers with confirmed “white” income, and it does not want to enter into loan agreements with clients whom it considers not entirely reliable.

Point 2 requires a detailed analysis - what kind of confirmed income will be considered sufficient to obtain a mortgage loan?

This amount varies depending on the subject of the federation where the person wishing to take out a loan lives, and depends on the following indicators:

• official living wage;
• number of family members;
• mandatory monthly expenses.

The amount of the monthly loan payment should not exceed 40% of the net income of family Z, which is equal to Z=X-Y, where X is the total income, and Y is such constant mandatory expenses as utility bills, rent for rented housing, payment on a previously taken loan etc.

Moreover, after deducting the mentioned 40% from Z, the remaining amount W, divided among all family members, cannot be less than the subsistence level.

The problem with a small white salary will be resolved in favor of the future borrower if it is possible to prove to bank employees that the family has sufficient additional income.

How to confirm additional income

If family members have official income in addition to the salary at the main job of the head of the family, they can be documented without difficulty:

• salary from a part-time job - the same 2-NDFL certificate as from the main job;
• pension - a certificate from the territorial branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation;
• student scholarship - certificate from the university;
• income from securities – an extract from the register of shareholders or a certificate from a broker;
• income from the rental of real estate (country house, garage, etc.) or movable (car) property - a copy of the lease agreement and receipts for receiving money from the tenant;
• alimony, social benefits, maternity leave and other sources - with a corresponding certificate.

Unofficial earnings from freelancing or other work without formalizing an employment relationship can be legalized by filing a tax return at the end of the year and paying 13 percent personal income tax on earnings. A copy of the declaration, signed by tax officials, will serve as strong evidence of income received.

If customers of services (employers) transfer remuneration for such work to a bank card, a card statement will allow you to confirm the income. It is very good if the issuing bank is the same financial institution from which the client is going to take out a mortgage.

An employee with a small “white” income can try to negotiate with the employer about a 2-NDFL certificate, which indicates the full real amount of remuneration for work. After all, this document is intended exclusively for a credit institution, which will not transfer the information received to the tax office.

There is a down payment - there is a mortgage

The chances of receiving a positive decision from the bank on your mortgage loan application are significantly increased by a high down payment. The higher the amount that the borrower is willing to pay immediately, the more loyal the lender will be to him.

A down payment of 10-20% of the mortgage loan amount is most often a prerequisite for obtaining it. A mortgage without a down payment, firstly, is rare, and secondly, it is provided with a much higher interest rate on the loan.

There are at least four sources of down payment:

• own savings (savings);
• loan from relatives or friends;
• maternity capital;
• consumer loan.

If your own funds are not enough, the mortgage applicant can borrow the missing amount from relatives or good friends for a significant period and without interest.

Maternity capital is a one-time government assistance to a Russian family that has a second child (natural or adopted). It is provided in non-cash form, and the family has the right to use these funds to improve their own living conditions, including payments on a mortgage loan, incl. down payment. To exercise this right, you need to contact the branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at your place of residence.

Finally, the borrower can take out a personal loan and use those funds as a down payment on a mortgage loan. But before you decide to take this step, you need to carefully calculate your solvency - whether you can make monthly payments on two loans at the same time, and whether the bank will approve a mortgage for a client who is already paying off a consumer loan. In a difficult situation, you can even seek advice from a credit broker.

It will not be possible to hide the presence of an outstanding consumer loan from the financial institution where you plan to take out a mortgage, since it will be recorded in the borrower’s credit history.

Co-borrowers or guarantors?

A client with a small salary has the right to count on a mortgage loan if he finds wealthy citizens who agree to act as co-borrowers or guarantors.

Co-borrowers can, as a rule, be up to three solvent and capable persons who do not have a criminal record or other problems with the law, and are not burdened with other obligations to banks and other creditors.

Not only a relative of the person in need of a mortgage is suitable for the role of co-borrower. Moreover, the status of a co-borrower does not automatically make this person a shareholder of the acquired real estate and does not give him other rights of the owner (possessor).

One or two persons act as guarantors for a mortgage; sometimes their presence is a prerequisite for the bank’s consent to issue a loan for real estate.

Pledge of property

Another way to take out a mortgage loan with a certificate of a small regular income is to give the bank the movable or immovable property that the borrower already has as additional collateral. This could be a car, apartment, house, cottage, garage, land, etc.

The bank will agree to take the property as collateral and issue a mortgage loan, but only on the condition that the proposed property is liquid.

For example, an apartment in an apartment building classified as a dilapidated housing stock, or a car with high mileage, manufactured more than 10 years ago, cannot be the subject of collateral.

In addition, the borrower will have to bear the cost of appraising the property that he will offer as additional collateral. It is recommended that you first check with the bank which appraiser’s services are best to use – the credit institution itself or third-party specialists.

Preferential mortgage

A preferential mortgage program is also a chance to improve living conditions. Such programs are not only federal, but also regional. They are being implemented to provide housing:

• military personnel;
• state employees;
• young families;
• large families;
• low-income citizens.

A military mortgage is available to a person who has served in the Russian army for at least three years. Its registration must begin with a report to the commander of the military unit; details are set out on the official website of Rosvoenipoteka.

To receive a preferential mortgage, civilians must be on the waiting list for new housing. You should contact the housing department of the city administration and obtain confirmation of your right to benefits, and then contact the bank that issues mortgage loans under preferential programs.

Purchasing a home without borrowing money is not available to many people today. Therefore, buying your own apartment with a mortgage does not lose its relevance. To obtain a mortgage, a number of conditions must be met, including a certain level of income of the borrower. With what salary is it realistic to take out a mortgage, what to do if your income is low, we will tell you further.

What salary do you need to have to get a mortgage?

Registration of a mortgage is regulated by the provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, as well as the Law “On Mortgage (Pledge of Real Estate)”. They establish general requirements for concluding mortgage loans. Questions about the amount of borrowers' income are not regulated by law. Therefore, each banking institution has the right to impose its own conditions on them. The main thing is that the level of earnings (other income) ensures that the debtor can properly repay the loan.

To take out a mortgage from any bank, you must receive an official, stable salary. Irregular earnings or unofficial income will not inspire confidence among creditors. Getting a mortgage loan with a small salary is also difficult. If the client’s income is equal to or close to the minimum wage, then there is a high risk of late payment of the loan and the formation of debt.

In addition, the client’s length of service with the last employer is also important. If the income is good, but the employee has not yet proven himself or is on a probationary period, then the likelihood of his dismissal is high. In such a situation, there is no need to talk about income stability. Before granting a loan, lenders study the client’s income statements and work record.

There is no specific suitable salary for applying for a mortgage; it all depends on the size and duration of the loan. Typically, banks require that loan payments do not exceed 40% of earnings. This figure may vary slightly among different credit institutions; it ranges from 30-50%.

When issuing a mortgage loan, the lender pays attention not only to the amount of income, but also its stability, official status, and length of service in one job. Banks may also take into account the client’s other income, liquid real estate, and the income of other members of his family.

How much should you earn to get a mortgage from Sberbank?

All major lenders provide mortgage loans. Sberbank implements many mortgage programs on different conditions. In most cases, borrowers need to prove their income. In this case, only the main official earnings, confirmed by a 2-NDFL certificate or a certificate in the bank form, are taken into account. Monthly expenses for loan repayments should not exceed half of the client’s earnings. It is better if this figure is within 40%.

In Sberbank branches by region, requirements for borrowers may vary slightly. Some bank programs do not require confirmation of the client’s income (for example, military mortgages, housing for young families).

How to buy an apartment with a small salary

If the client’s financial situation does not fall within the specified criteria, this does not mean that it is impossible to obtain a mortgage. You can increase your chances of getting a loan in other ways.

Is it possible to get a mortgage with a low income?

Low earnings mean for the bank a high risk of non-payment of the loan. In order to reduce it, you can provide the lender with a certain guarantee of receiving borrowed funds. This can be achieved by attracting guarantors or co-borrowers. They will share responsibility with the borrower for non-payment of the loan.

Another way to get a loan with low income is to change the terms of the loan. For example, you can increase the size of the down payment, the loan repayment period, and the loan amount. When enrolling in some special mortgage programs, you can also reduce the client's income requirements.

With a small white income, it is possible to get a mortgage if certain conditions are met. Will a mortgage be issued with a gray salary of 12,000? Usually banks take into account only white earnings confirmed by official certificates. However, additional income can be certified by documents on the client’s expenses, contracts concluded by him and other papers. In combination with the client fulfilling other bank requirements and providing additional guarantees, this may be sufficient.

Will they give me a mortgage with a small salary and no down payment?

A mortgage with a short work history and low income seems impossible for many. But a down payment is not the only way to increase your chances of getting a mortgage. Getting a mortgage loan will also be helped by attracting guarantors, co-borrowers, increasing the loan term and the amount of borrowed funds.

Examples of calculations

In order for a future bank client to assess his chances of receiving a loan, he can calculate the approximate monthly payments on it. This can be done using online calculators, directly at the bank, or independently, having clarified all the lending conditions.

Salary to get a mortgage: 2,000,000

If a client requires a mortgage loan in the amount of RUB 2,000,000, then the calculation will be approximately as follows.

Considering the size of the monthly payment, it turns out that the optimal salary should be 40 -50 thousand rubles.

At what minimum salary do they give a mortgage of 3,500,000

Following the above scheme, we obtain a monthly payment for a loan of 3,500,000 rubles. under the same conditions in the amount of 44,000 rubles. Therefore, the client’s earnings should be no less than 70-80 thousand rubles.

Can they give me a mortgage with a salary of 9000?

As for earnings of 9,000 rubles, for Moscow and St. Petersburg it does not even exceed the minimum wage. Therefore, the likelihood of getting a loan with such income is low. Unless the client has most of the required amount on hand, he can make an initial payment of 50% and provide other guarantees of payment.

Maximum amount for a mortgage with a salary of 20,000

With earnings of 20 thousand rubles. under the specified lending conditions (9%, 120 months), you can count on receiving a mortgage loan in the amount of approximately one million rubles. As the term increases, the available loan amount will increase accordingly.

How to get a mortgage if you have no white income

In the absence of any official income, obtaining a mortgage is also possible. However, this requires providing the bank with other loan repayment guarantees.

Income that can be taken into account other than wages

Let us remind you that banks only accept information about white income from clients. Not all lenders take into account gray income. And a mortgage with a black salary even in the amount of 40,000 rubles. unlikely. In addition to earnings, other sources of client income may be taken into account:

• earnings from part-time work;
• constant income from rent or other transactions;
• pensions, other monthly payments to the client;
• income from securities, deposits, etc.

Large down payment amount

When the client makes a large down payment, the terms of the loan are significantly improved. In these cases, banks reduce loan rates and reduce the requirements for the client’s income level.

Providing collateral

The borrower's obligations to repay the loan secured by collateral are also more profitable for the bank. If the loan is not repaid, he can get his money back by selling the pledged property. Therefore, the client’s income will not play as big a role as in his absence.

Attracting co-borrowers

If the borrower has no income, a co-borrower can come to the rescue. Quite often, spouses play this role. When applying for a mortgage loan for several persons, their total income is taken into account. Therefore, the earnings of the other party may be sufficient to obtain a loan.

Social mortgage lending programs

Many banks today have special lending programs. They are provided under special conditions for a certain category of citizens. When lending under social programs, subsidies and guarantees from the state are often used. Therefore, the requirements for borrowers’ income are reduced or not imposed at all. For example, mortgages for state employees, young professionals, and the military.

Questions and answers

Will they give me a mortgage with a salary of 15,000?

A mortgage with this level of income can be given. This will depend on the amount of the loan required, its term, the availability of a down payment, additional income, guarantors and other guarantees of loan repayment.

How much can you take out a mortgage for with a salary of 16,000?

With a salary of 16 thousand rubles. You should not count on a large loan amount. But if you have a co-borrower with a good income and pay a large down payment, this is possible.

Which bank can I get a mortgage from with an unofficial salary of 18,000?

Any bank will not take into account the client’s unofficial earnings. This creates a high risk of non-payment of the loan. Therefore, in the absence of other income, guarantors, down payment, or co-borrowers, obtaining a loan is unlikely.

Is it possible to get a mortgage with a salary of 25,000?

Obtaining a mortgage is theoretically possible with any income, subject to additional income or guarantees of loan repayment.

How to get a mortgage if your salary is 25 thousand rubles?

With a salary of 25 thousand rubles. To increase the size of the loan, you can enlist the support of guarantors, increase the loan term, attract co-borrowers, or pay a large down payment.

It has long been the practice that in order to obtain a mortgage you need a large salary or another source of a stable flow of money. Today, often a person working for a private entrepreneur cannot confirm the level of income in whole or in part. From the bank’s point of view, such a client is undesirable, because the risk that he will be left without income and will not be able to repay the mortgage payment on time is high. The bank prefers that the client submit a certificate of income from the place of work through the accounting department. There are answers to the question of how to get a mortgage if the official salary is small. We will talk about this in this article.

What salary should you have to get a mortgage?

Most banks have no restrictions on the minimum salary to obtain a mortgage. The limit concerns the amount that the client will be able to receive. A large salary allows you to get a large loan.

Let's figure out how much the salary should be in order to get a mortgage. As a rule, the mortgage loan amount is calculated so that the monthly payment is no more than a quarter of the borrower's monthly income. It is assumed that the borrower’s salary or other income should be enough to pay for housing, purchase food and other first-line goods. The remaining amount will go towards mortgage payments. If it is too small, the mortgage may be denied.

What salary is needed for a mortgage at Sberbank

According to the laws of our country, the monthly mortgage payment cannot exceed 40% of the borrower's monthly income. The average payment on Sberbank mortgage loans is 17 – 20 thousand rubles. Therefore, to get a loan, you need to have a salary of at least 35 - 40 thousand rubles per month.

However, there are several points in this calculation scheme:

• The amount of monthly income includes the income of co-borrowers on this loan. For example, when providing a mortgage to a married couple, the income of both the husband and wife will be taken into account. This allows us to hope that a loan will be approved for spouses with low income.
• Mandatory monthly payments are subtracted from the recorded income. Sberbank may refuse a loan to a client with a high income, but who has payments, for example, alimony, or payments for loans (car loan, consumer loan, etc.).

As you can see, the question of what salary should be in order to get a mortgage is not so simple. To get an accurate answer about whether you will be given a housing loan or not, you can contact the bank’s representative office. And if you don’t want to bother with collecting certificates, use loan calculators. These programs are located on banking websites on the Internet.

To use this program, you need to enter the amount of income in the fields of a special questionnaire. The calculator will show the amount of loan you can qualify for. Of course, you need to remember that this figure will be approximate and can be used to evaluate offers from different banks. The exact calculation of the size of a home loan can only be found at the bank office after submitting the relevant documents.

Mortgage with a salary of 20,000 rubles

Even with a small salary, you can get a mortgage loan. Let's talk about several ways:

1. If one spouse takes out a mortgage and the other becomes a guarantor, the bank considers the earnings of both spouses.
2. Any relative who has more income than the borrower can become a guarantor. We must not forget about the enormous responsibility that will fall on the guarantor.

1. For young families who do not have the money to make a first payment, there are state and municipal programs for providing mortgage loans to young families. This method has a noticeable drawback: it requires providing a significantly larger package of documents.
2. There is a large range of state, regional and city mortgage programs. They are designed specifically for low-income segments of the population: teachers, doctors, military, public sector employees. You can learn more about existing programs from the city administration or on the municipal website. Find out the list of documents from the city administration.
3. A mortgage with a salary of 15,000 rubles is possible. To make a down payment, you can get a consumer loan from the bank. Loans are usually provided without asking for proof of income. It is worth trying to arrange loans so that the bank that issued the mortgage loan does not find out about the consumer loan. If it becomes known about a consumer loan, the bank can deduct the amount of payments from income, and naturally, reduce the amount that they will give you to buy a home.
4. If there are elderly relatives in the family, a loan can be taken out under a pension scheme. Then parts of the payments are divided by the bank between family members, and the financial burden on the borrower will decrease.
5. The solution may be to issue an order at work to pay the mortgage against the employee’s salary. You will receive the amount remaining after repaying the mortgage.

They don’t pay salaries: what to do with the mortgage

Unfortunately, one of the common problems in paying off mortgage payments is non-payment of wages or payments on time. Since the delay in salary is a violation of the employment contract and labor legislation, it is obvious that the client is not to blame for late payments on the loan. To avoid incurring financial damage from bank fines, you need to take a number of actions in time:

• Receive a certificate from the accounting department at the place of employment about the arrears of wages.
• Apply to the bank representative office. In the application, indicate that the reason for the delay in payment of contributions is non-payment of wages, and attach a certificate from the accounting department to the application. After receiving the application, the bank will decide to defer payment. This happens quite rarely. The bank will make this decision if you previously made payments regularly without delays.
• If the bank does not compromise and turns to collectors, it is worth contacting a lawyer specializing in the field of loans or an anti-collection agency. This is often a justified step, because transferring the case to collectors is an illegal step by the bank.

As a rule, the bank compromises and offers clients ways to defer or restructure the debt.

Going to court is the last resort, which banks are quite reluctant to take. The fact is that in the country's judicial practice in such cases, most decisions are made in favor of clients. The bank suffers losses due to the fact that while the trial is ongoing, transactions with the apartment taken on an unpaid mortgage are impossible. It is much more profitable for the bank to find a compromise solution with a client who finds himself in a difficult situation and still get his money. But it is important to remember that loan repayment is primarily the debt of the bank client.

An important point: if you have guarantors, the bank will not make concessions. The unpaid payment will be recovered from the guarantor in full, provided that this is possible in principle (for example, if the guarantor does not work at your company and receives his salary on time).

And of course, you need to sue the unscrupulous employer! According to Russian laws, the employer must repay the salary debt, pay a penalty, and also compensate for the losses you incurred from bank penalties. Don’t be lazy to go to court, the law is on your side.

Black salary: how to get a mortgage

In modern realities, many Russians work unofficially and receive salaries without official registration. Naturally, it will not be possible to obtain a 2-NDFL certificate to confirm your income. But this does not mean that you will not be able to get a mortgage! Many banks accommodate such clients halfway and offer mortgage loans under schemes that do not require proof of income, or request proof of income using their own forms.
Of course, such schemes are risky for the bank and less profitable for the client:

• The interest rate on your mortgage will be higher than the standard interest rate. The increase is one to one and a half percent. A high percentage is a risk payment.
• A number of banks, without increasing the interest rate, increase the client's down payment. The contribution can be up to half the cost of housing. For an apartment worth two million you will have to pay eight hundred to nine hundred thousand.
• The repayment period for such mortgage loans will be tight. The terms will be reduced by three to five years.

Thus, it is possible to get a mortgage loan even with a low salary or a salary “in an envelope”, but in this case the borrower will have to rely only on his own strength. A home loan can become an unbearable burden for a family for many years, and overdue debt can lead to the loss of housing.

For young families, there are state and municipal programs for providing mortgage loans. There is a noticeable drawback. You are required to provide a large package of documents.
You can learn more about existing programs at the city administration or on the municipal website.

A mortgage with a salary of 15,000 rubles is possible

To make a down payment, you can get a consumer loan from a bank.
Loans are provided without proof of income.
Try to apply for a loan so that the bank that provided the mortgage does not find out about it.
If this becomes known, the bank may deduct the amount of payments from income, and naturally, reduce the amount that they will give you to buy a home.

They don't pay salaries - what to do with the mortgage?

A delay in salary is a violation of the employment contract and labor legislation; it is obvious that the client is not to blame for late payments on the loan.

To avoid incurring financial damage, you need to:

• Receive a certificate of arrears of wages from the accounting department at the place of employment
• Apply to the bank representative office. In the application, indicate that the reason for the delay in payment of contributions is non-payment of salaries, attach a certificate from the accounting department to the application
• After receiving the application, the bank will decide to defer payment

The bank will make a positive decision if you have previously made payments regularly without delays.
If the bank does not compromise, you should contact a lawyer. This is often a justified step, because transferring the case to collectors is an illegal step by the bank.

As a rule, the bank offers clients ways to defer or restructure debt.

Going to court is the last resort, which banks are quite reluctant to take. The bank suffers losses. While the trial is ongoing, transactions with the apartment are impossible. It is more profitable for the bank to find a compromise solution with the client and get their money. It is important to remember that loan repayment is primarily the debt of the bank client.

If you have guarantors, the bank will not make concessions. Payment will be collected from the guarantor in full, provided that this is possible.

Black salary - how to get a mortgage

The interest rate on your mortgage will be higher. The increase is 1 - 2%.
Some banks, without increasing the interest rate, increase the down payment. The contribution can be 50% of the cost of housing.
The terms of such mortgage loans will be 3-5 years shorter.

It is possible to get a mortgage loan even with a low salary, but in this case the borrower will have to rely only on his own strength. A loan can become an unbearable burden for a family, and overdue debt can lead to loss of housing.
