There is state (subsidised) mortgage lending with softer terms and ordinary (commercial) bank mortgages. Terms, amount limits and borrower requirements differ; the parameters of state support are published by the dedicated mortgage agency.
Lenders usually look at citizenship, stable documented income, age and credit history. Subsidised programs can carry extra conditions — for certain categories of citizens, for example.
The key parameters are loan amount, down payment, term and rate. A bigger down payment and shorter term mean less overpayment. Always compute the real rate and schedule on a specific bank offer.
Gather income documents, check your credit history, estimate an affordable monthly payment and save the down payment. Compare several banks — terms vary.
Exact rates and limits change. Verify with the mortgage agency and directly with banks, and follow the Central Bank for general monetary conditions.
