Reviews
Vitalina, 62 years old : “Immediately after my official retirement, I thought about buying a small house in a village not far from the city. I chose a good village and, having looked for housing there, contacted Rosselkhozbank to get a mortgage. The check was very thorough, but nevertheless my candidacy was approved, because, in addition to the pension, I also have accruals from the family business, which is now managed by the children. My daughter’s husband acted as a guarantor, and they willingly gave me a mortgage. Now I have my dream home!”
Sergei, 58 years old : “I am a military pensioner, however, during my years of service I did not take advantage of the right to purchase my own home with a mortgage. 5 years ago, friends told me that they were taking out a loan using funds from the military savings mortgage system. My wife and I consulted and decided to expand our living space a little. Rosselkhozbank issued a mortgage without any problems, and the funds from the sale of the old apartment were enough for half of the new one, and additionally they used mortgage money. The interest and the down payment were covered by the state, so there is very little time left to pay.”

Categories of pensioners receiving a mortgage
The bank assesses the level and degree of solvency of a pensioner in the same way as other potential borrowers. There are several main categories of pensioners. Banks issue them a mortgage loan much faster and more willingly. Here are the most basic of them:
- Married couples. Banks are issuing housing loans to married couples much faster. The reason is that such people are wealthier and more secure. The optimal advantage is to attract several solvent clients as borrowers.
- Working pensioners. Currently, there are quite a lot of working pensioners who work at 70 and 80 years old. If older people have a decent regular income, the bank will consider them as potential borrowers much more willingly.
- Pensioners with property. If collateral is provided for the mortgage, you can obtain a fairly large loan amount on favorable terms for the borrower.
- Pensioners with a positive history of early lending have a much better chance of applying for and receiving a mortgage loan.
Pensioners who are able to invite a co-borrower deserve special attention. This capacity is played not only by the spouse, but by a relative or close friend, that is, there is no need for mandatory family ties between relatives. It is necessary to ensure that the invited co-borrowers are capable, solvent and preferably employed.
What should the property be like?
The property should not be listed as collateral or have restrictions on its use. The requirement for the seller is to be its owner for 3 or more years, have appropriate documentary evidence, and pay for all utilities.
Housing should not:
- Stand on the register for major repairs or in line for demolition.
- Have redevelopment that is not approved by law.
- Be subject to legal proceedings with possible appeal.
In a situation where several persons have ownership rights, a mortgage is possible only when each of them agrees to the transaction. The property must have a minimum percentage of physical wear and tear, no structural defects, with properly functioning engineering systems, and an area allocated for a kitchen and sanitary facility.
The terms of the program allow you to design residential buildings with concrete, stone or brick foundations and load-bearing structures made of similar materials.
Programs and interest rates
Rosselkhozbank offers 2 mortgage programs for pensioners, an important condition of which is an increase in the rate when refusing life insurance.
Program | Bid | Sum | Term |
Mortgage | from 8.85% | up to 60,000,000 rub. | up to 30 years old |
Target mortgage with housing collateral | from 9.05% | up to 20,000,000 rubles, but not more than 70% of the value of the mortgaged property |
How to make a monthly payment
Both cash and non-cash forms of payment are accepted. To make a payment there are 2 main options:
- visit the organization’s office;
- use the Rosselkhozbank ATM.
In the first case, the mortgage is paid when cash is transferred to the cash desk; pensioners need to present a payment card or inform the employee of its details.
You can do everything yourself through the organization’s ATMs. Another option is to send money using a debit card. If the client has an account opened with Rosselkhozbank, the required payment is made through the online service in a few clicks.
Important: if it is more convenient for a pensioner to use cards and terminals of other banks, an additional commission is charged.
Is it possible to pay off your mortgage early?
Rosselkhozbank allows you to repay part of the amount early or pay 100%. If this is possible, the client writes an application according to the template established by the bank.
Early payments must be made on the day of the monthly payment, which is specified in the agreement. There are no additional fees for the procedure.
Pensioners need to remember that if they want to pay off their mortgage early, they should notify bank employees in advance (at least a month in advance).
Pension loan
Those wishing to obtain a mortgage for pensioners under 75 years of age without guarantors at Rosselkhozbank should remember that such offers do not currently exist. But there is a special pension loan that allows you to receive money for any needs up to 75 years of age.
According to its main provisions, borrowers are able to:
- qualify for up to 500 thousand rubles (minimum 10 thousand);
- pay off the credit institution within 7 years;
- do not worry about the fact that they go to the bank without guarantors and collateral;
- expect an interest rate of 11.5%.
It is important to mention that this proposal only affects pensioners. In this case, the reason for receiving the pension does not matter. But it is extremely important to provide the RSHB employees with a document confirming the fact that the client is indeed a pensioner. It is pointless to count on approval of an application without such documents.
Who is exempt from having to pay a down payment?
The right not to pay a down payment applies only to large families. In this case, the mandatory procedure for contributing a portion of the total amount of the property may occur when maternity capital is included in the transaction.
Pensioners who do not belong to this category must pay from 100,000.
