The National Corporation for Housing Loan Insurance stated that the Serbian government adopted today changes to the Programme of long-term housing loans with state subsidies, abolishing the payment of the 10% retention money, which will help citizens get a housing loan more easily.
The abolishment of retention money payment is due to high level of competitiveness of the market of long-term housing loans and reduction of interest rates, as well as competition among banks and lower investment risk.
The down payment to be made by a loan user remains at 5% and the 20% deposit to be paid by the state in the form of a long-term credit with a grace period also remains the same, as well as the part provided by the bank, which is 75% of the real estate that is bought.
