Responsible lending remains the primary focus of the institution. According to L. Žukovė, the lending process involves a comprehensive, individual assessment of each applicant.
This evaluation considers a wide array of criteria, including the resident’s current income, existing financial obligations, the calculated ratio between these two variables, the applicant’s overall debt load, credit history, the details of the property being purchased, and various other associated risk factors. Regarding down payments for mortgages, the 10% requirement is not universally applicable to every individual taking out a first mortgage. However, this option is available to buyers who intend to purchase or construct a residential property, provided they currently do not own real estate and have not held any property ownership within the last five years.
Despite meeting these eligibility criteria, the final required down payment amount remains subject to a detailed, individual assessment of the client’s specific financial situation. Conversely, residents who already own real estate are subject to a mandatory down payment equivalent to 10% of the total purchase price.
