‘Our customers normally come to us with pre-chosen mortgage schemes from this or that bank, yet no one has ever come with an offer from URALSIB,’ Director of SV Nedvizhimost Ltd Svetlana Scherbinina said to UrBC, explaining the reason why her real estate agency is not at all aware of the bank’s mortgage offers and sees no reason for doing business with URALSIB.

In the meanwhile, the number of Sverdlovsk Region-based banks that deal in mortgage lending keeps growing, and so does the variety of options. However, this has not resulted in greater numbers of given mortgages: this year, the amount of money offered to customers in the form of mortgage loans is quite comparable to last year’s one.
