Step-by-Step Mortgage Application Process

  1. Assess your financial capacity - calculate the maximum affordable payment
  2. Choose a bank - compare rates and conditions at a minimum of 3 banks
  3. Gather documents - passport, income certificate, tax ID number
  4. Submit application - typically 2-5 business days for approval
  5. Choose a property - the apartment must pass the bank's assessment
  6. Property valuation - at the borrower's expense (~3,000-5,000 som)
  7. Insurance - mandatory insurance of the collateral property
  8. Sign the contract before a notary
  9. Registration with the GRS

What Increases Your Chances of Approval

  • Official income is better than undeclared income
  • Good credit history - no arrears
  • Multiple co-borrowers increase the approved loan amount
  • Large down payment (30-40%) reduces the bank's risk
  • Employment in a government organisation - an additional plus

In addition to the down payment, factor in:

  • Property valuation: ~3,000-5,000 som
  • Notary: ~5,000-15,000 som
  • GRS registration: ~2,000-5,000 som
