Introduction
As the mortgage operation creates an
essential contribution to the development of real estate market the impotence
of real estate credit is obvious. It might be used for involvement of
additional investment to the different branches of economy: to agriculture,
commercial activity, housing etc.
In the modern terms of general stagnation,
crisis of non-payments and especially of bankruptcies of enterprises, from one
side, and sharp necessity in renovation and technical re-equipment of
production , from other side, the mortgage becomes the sole decision of
problem.
The system of mortgage crediting for the
Russian enterprises , which possess as a rule enormous fixed assets, from my
point of view, represents not only acceptable, but solely possible in the
present conditions.
The purposes and problems in my thesis work
involve the stage analysis of mortgage process for estimation legal side of
Russia mortgage, study the factors influence on the reduction credit risks. I
will emphasise on the home mortgage, because this kind of mortgage occupies
leading position in this section.
The thesis work consists of three main
chapters, introduction and conclusion.
The introduction deals with the topicality
of the subject matter, purposes and problems posed therein and contents of the
thesis.
The first chapter “The essence of mortgage
crediting” gives a general historical outlook of mortgage lending development
and the reasons of necessity to introduce it in the modern Russia.
The essential second part of thesis deals
with the current legal base on real estate issues and the possibilities to
introduce mortgage lending to the bank activity.
The third part “ The problems and
perspective of development of hypothecate crediting” describes the
international experience in this field. The purpose of this to give overview of
loan contracts in several countries and to describe American models of
hypothecation, which are the most widely used in our mortgage system. Also this
chapter is focuses on the existing problems of the mortgage lending and ways their
optimal solving.
Chapter 1. The essence of mortgage
crediting
1.1. The necessity of mortgage crediting
The establishment of market economy is
impossible without attraction of the population masses to the business and
production activity, and such forms of crediting investment, which will have
not only urgent, paid and returnable character but the mass character, will
have the priority development.
As far as the collateral is necessary
condition for market crediting, and the main part of the population of the
country did not possess at the beginning of the reforms and do not possess at
the present time the large real monetary accumulations and considerable movable
property, so the mortgage becomes the sole variant of getting credit .
The expectation of activity of investment
process is strong as never before for the last years. In this case for
restoration of the economy of the country the long-term credits are necessary,
because it seems that the period of recovery will be long. In the situation
when the wave of unpaid credits overwhelmed the banking system the presentation
by the borrower of the most reliable guarantees of repayment of the loan in the
time of debentures gets the determined meaning in the case of resolving of the
question of granting credit. One of the most reliable means of collateral is
real estate, which becomes the subject of collateral in the case mortgage
crediting. In the case of appropriate care the real estate and the land almost
never lose its value and on the contrary in the future its price will increase.
The actuality of this type of credit
consists of the fact that in the terms of the deep crisis of the production and
of the economy of the country as a whole, it is possible that the sole way for
the national enterprises, which majority is at the edge of bankrupt, to get
long-term credits is the mortgage of real estate belonged to them.
In the case of sharp shortage of financial
sources of housing construction the necessity in dwelling increases for the
account of inflow to Russia of refugees from near abroad and the change of
location of troops.
In these conditions the objective necessity
in long-term credits granted to the population for housing construction occurs
which are not subject considerably to the inflation and which are assured in
maximum form from the point of view of their return. Namely the mortgage credit
is in conformity with these requirements, which is assured by the collateral of
real estate.
The main purpose of creditor is receipt
from borrower of the most reliable guarantees of loan return in the time of
fulfillment of debentures. It is naturally that the creditor must in the first
place have the strict information of financial position of the borrower, check
his paying capacity, the condition of his property, the availability of debts
and so on. But all that is not sufficient, especially, if the long-term
crediting is considered. The mortgage is more reliable form of guarantee (in
contradistinction to individual form – warranty) of payment of loan under real estate
which owner is not deprived of the right to manage it; the mortgage gives the
creditor the right to collect and to sell the property of the borrower in the
case of non-payment of indebtedness in the time of fulfillment of the
obligation.
In the terms of general stagnation, crisis
of non-payments and especially of bankruptcies of enterprises, from one side,
and sharp necessity in renovation and technical re-equipment of production,
from other side, the mortgage becomes the sole decision of problem for enterprise.
Now the banks are ready to give credits for production only in the case of
availability of reliable guarantees of loan return.
The system of mortgage crediting for the
Russian enterprises, which possess as a rule enormous fixed assets, from my point
of view, represents not only acceptable, but solely possible in the present
conditions. The enterprises need for restoration of production in the first
place the renovation of means of production in accordance with modern
technologies. And for realisation of such modernisation the considerable
long-term and relatively cheap credit resources are necessary. The mortgage
credit is in conformity with such conditions.
The history of establishment and the
experience of mortgage crediting in Russia.
The combination of experience of mortgage
crediting of expenses for purchase of land before revolution with the practice
of individual crediting of dwelling construction in the soviet time is the
reliable theoretical foundation for development of recommendations on mortgage
crediting at the present time.
In Russia the first mortgage organizations
appeared in the second part of XVIII century. In contradistinction to the other
countries where the land was the subject of mortgage, in Russia the subject of
mortgage were serfs. In 1860 the state mortgage credit organizations which
existed before reforms were liquidated. After cancellation of serf right by the
decree of the tsar Alexandre II the commission for development of the mortgage
law was organized on which basis the mortgage banks of different form of
property began to arise. However the private banks had the problem of resources
attraction for a long period of time, and in connection with that the necessity
in the state guarantees on attraction of such means appeared. The state took
measures operatively for increase of liquidity of mortgage bonds: the persons
who had them got the possibility either to use them as collateral in the
purpose to get credit or to sell them.
It is important that the section appeared
in the banking legislation, which regulated the activity of mortgage credit
organizations, and then this legislation was divided into two parts: one – for
commercial banks, which were considered as the banks of short-term crediting,
the other – for mortgage banks, which acted on other principles.
The establishment of mortgage credit after
1861 was stipulated by the needs of landowners holding, which faced the
difficulties of the “reconstruction” in the period of reforms. The noblemen
preserved their rights on real estate, but they did not have large capitals.
The need of landowners in means was satisfied for account of land long-term
crediting.
The considerable demand on mortgage loans
was also in the cities among the house-owners from petty bourgeoises and
merchants. The development of trade and business activity, the increase of the
offers of stock values in connection with the wave of joint stock foundation,
required the large cash means.
In the middle of 60 years of XIX century
the mortgage organizations began to appear in Russia, which were founded on the
capitalist principles of functioning. At the end of 80 years the system of
mortgage credit was built, which consisted of corporation, mutual and joint
stock, private and state credit organizations. This system enveloped the
territory of the whole European Russia.
The mortgage banks granted long-term loans
(till some decades) under the collateral of real estate: private lands in the
country and houses (constructions) in the cities. The banks accumulated the
means for granting credits for account of issue of mortgage bonds – mortgage
sheets. These bonds were supported by the property pledged as security in the
bank.
The amount of interest, which was paid by
the borrowers to the bank for granted loan, exceeded the amount of the
interest, which was paid by the bank to the holders of mortgage sheets. This
difference was the main source of the bank profit. The amount of issued into
circulation mortgage sheets should not exceed the joint stock and the stock capital
more than in 10 times.
The joint stock land banks tried to develop
the mortgage crediting also in the cities. However the government limited in
the interests of landowners its operations in the cities in the frames of one
third of the total of unpaid loans.
The joint stock land banks realized its
activity with support and under control of the government. The body, which
effected the immediate control over the bank activity, was special office on
credit affairs of the Ministry of finances. The government realized the control
over issuing of shares and mortgage sheets, provided coordination of private
banks with state - Noble and Peasant – banks.
The structure of the profit of the joint
stock land banks was typical. The long-term loans gave approximately half of
the profit, the short-term credits and the securities, belonged to the bank,
gave the other part of the bank profit.
The mortgage banks invested their capitals
in the state and assured by the government securities, and because of this fact
the demand on their mortgage sheets and shares was increasing constantly. The
demand on the shares grew also because of constant high dividends.
Creating mortgage organizations, the
government saw their tasks in the fact that the land and the city property,
attracted into the banking circulation, was transferred from “weak” to “strong”
owners, who could organize developed production and thus could serve for
increase of welfare of Russia. /11/
In Russia before the revolution the dynamic
market of houses was organized, which was based on strong crediting-financial
system, which was founded on pledges and promissory notes. None the less the
main object of the mortgage crediting was the land but not the dwelling. The
mortgage credit at that time as a rule was associated with land credit and was
granted by the different types of land banks, that is the mortgage without
dwelling dominated. On the contrary for the period after revolution the
granting of credit under dwelling, but without mortgage, was typical, because there
were not conditions for development of mortgage: the land – the invariable
factor of mortgage – was nationalized.
None the less, in the soviet period the
experience of dwelling crediting was formed in our country, which is in
principle the base of mortgage crediting. The practice of crediting of dwelling
construction in the USSR presents considerable interest. So for a long period
of time the organizations of the State Bank of the USSR granted long-term
credits to the population for cooperative and individual dwelling construction.
The typical feature of organization of individual dwelling construction was the
absence of immediate contact of the borrower with bank. The credits were
granted to the population not directly but through the organizations in which
the individual borrowers worked; the enterprises were guarantors of loans
return. The redemption was realized by deduction of payments for credit
directly from salary of the borrowers of their enterprises. The credits for
dwelling were not assured by real estate or other property, and withdrawal of
the property for realization in the purposes of redemption of loan was not
used.
In the future, with the reorganization of
the credit system, the range of the granted credits developed. The loans began
to be granted not only for individual construction of the house, but also for
purchase of dwelling, and for construction of second house. The question of
crediting of dwelling through construction cooperative societies was resolved.
The State Bank of the USSR had separate
elements in the organization of crediting of individual construction which were
typical for mortgage system. Particularly the connection of construction of
house with land was stipulated.
The practice of bank right protection
before the other creditors existed in the form of immediate redemption of the
loan from the value of the house. In the case of insufficient amount from the
sale of the house for covering the claim the receipt of necessary amount for
account of collection of other property of the borrower was stipulated. There
were features of mortgage accountability: in the case of full redemption by the
borrower of indebtedness before the bank or organization, though which the
crediting was organized, the notary was informed of the fact of cancellation of
prohibition on sale or transmission of the house. /9/
The limited combination of home experience
of mortgage crediting of expenses for purchase of land before revolution with
the practice of individual crediting of dwelling construction in the soviet
time is the reliable theoretical foundation for development of recommendations
on mortgage crediting in the transitional period.

crediting in modern Russia
Legislation on Mortgage Crediting
The present chapter describes legal
fundamentals of mortgage crediting in Russia, and also depicts the most
important changes in legislation on mortgage for the last years. At the same
time, I am trying to attract attention to main “perils” of considered legal
relations and specifies basic directions of their optimal overcoming.
The term “mortgage” in legal practice
usually covers two concepts:
1. “Mortgage” (as legal relation) is the
gage of a real estate with the purpose of receiving a mortgage credit (as a
rule, in a bank). For mortgage it is characteristic to leave property with the
debtor. Gage in civil right is one of methods to back obligations - in this
case of bank credit. In so doing, in all cases it is mandatory to register with
the State bodies the gage of any real estate. In case of insolvency of the
debtor, claims of the creditor are satisfied from the proceeds from sold
property with priority before other creditors or by transferring the
incorporated real estate in the property of the pledge.
2. “Mortgage” (as a security) means a
“bond” - debt tool certifying the rights of the pledge on a real estate.
Mortgage usually has a free circulation in the market.
Institute of mortgage has not received in
Russia considerable development till nowadays due to different encumbrances,
both economic and legal, therefore it is regulated by a rather small array of
normative acts.
To the most important of such acts refer
Federal Act of 1998 “On mortgage (gage of the real estate)”. General provisions
on gage, not defined in the indicated law, are contained in appropriate
articles of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Federal Act from 1997 “On
State Registration of Rights on Real Estate and of Transactions With It”
governs registration of real estate, the most important function of the state,
absence of which would make stable turnover of real estate completely
impossible.
Actual realization of bank’s rights on the
mortgage is possible within limits of the law “On execution”. Separate special
provisions, which nevertheless should be taken into account while making
conclusions on the mortgage agreements, are scattered as well in articles of
appropriate laws, such as, for example, the law “On companies of living
accommodation proprietors”. In the mortgage of housing accommodations it is
necessary to follow requirements of the branch housing legislation, including
Housing code of RSFSR, and as well laws and regulations on registration of
citizens in their places of residence. Members of the borrower’s family also
have rights, established by legislation and described in Family and Civil codes
of the Russian Federation. Special acts defend interests of infants, elderly
persons and disabled persons.
Up to the beginning the ninetieth years
mortgage practically missed. Temporary transfer of property rights on real
estate, being the object of mortgage, to the creditor, was a kind of
pseudo-mortgage. After settlement of accounts between the debtor and creditor
rights on the real estate were transferred back. It was necessary to pay twice
rather high State duties, levied from the borrower, and to be ready to run
risks connected with possible dishonesty of the creditor receiving rights on
real estate for undercharge. Besides, term of rights registration was rather
long. In these conditions the above described scheme badly protecting the
borrower, could not be distributed broadly. But also after legalization of the
mortgage as civilized legal institution, in 1992, contradictions between the out-of-date
branch laws did not give lawyers practical possibility to defend effectively
rights, but this time not of a borrower, but of the bank-creditor. /11/
There was an impassable gap between
“socialist” housing legislation and new Russian right.
Unfortunately, recent laws have only partly
corrected this intolerant situation. For example, before acceptance of the law
“On mortgage” there were no serious basis for ejection of insolvent debtor and
his family from the gaged flat. The bank could hope only on transferring
property rights with exception of the right of use or its limitation (depending
on the size of living space per tenant). Nowadays ejection is quite possible,
but under condition of... granting other living quarters in the same city - in
our it means in Moscow, - and with allowance for all existing sanitary
requirements.* There is no court practice on realization of the rights of
creditor banks in new legal conditions. Earlier collection on gaged flat could
be imposed only judicially. With the purpose of avoiding the indicated rule,
there was widely used practice of conclusion with insolvent borrower an
agreement “on buy off”. But from the moment of replacement of initial agreement
with a new one, the mortgage contract was terminated and there emerged
competition with other creditors. Not all banks took it into account and
bargains on purchase and further disposal of the real estate received by
agreement “on buy off” could be recognized invalid.
According to the new act “On mortgage”
contractual selling of real estate is possible.
The most important novelty of this law was
emerging “mortgage bond”-encumbrance as a kind of securities, freely
circulating in the market.** Though Commissions on Securities under President
still has not issued appropriate instruction, but at first glance, there are no
encumbrances for issue of mortgage bonds already nowadays. There is no need to
prove advantages of the mortgage over “simple” agreement on mortgage crediting.
Mortgage bond is a nominal security certifying right of its holder on
fulfillment of liability, backed by mortgage of property indicated in the
agreement on mortgage, without submission of other proofs of existence of this
obligation and the very

right of gage on property indicated in the
agreement on mortgage. The mortgage bond is issued to the initial pledge by
body conducting State registration of mortgage, after actual State registration
of the mortgage and is transferred by fulfillment of endorsement (partly
similar to bill, under condition of observance rules of state registration).
The mortgage ensures payment to the pledge
of capital amount of the debt under the credit agreement or other liability,
backed by mortgage, completely or in a part, foreseen by agreement on mortgage.

The mortgage established for backing of
fulfillment of the credit agreement with condition of paying interest, ensures
as well payment to the creditor of interest on the credit, due to him for usage
of credit.
Usually, mortgage ensures as well payment
to the pledge of the sums due to him:
- as compensation for damages and / or as a
forfeit penalty (fine) in the case of default, delay in performance or other
inadequate fulfillment of obligations, backed by the mortgage;
as interest for wrongful usage of other’s
money resources, foreseen by obligations, backed by the mortgage, or by federal
act.* The problems of possibility to collect percents for usage of other’s
monetary resources from a physical person who is not a businessman is not
solved nowadays and as well there are no positive judicial precedents. The
matter is that in court it is necessary to prove, that the citizen had
possibility for settlement of the debt, but has not returned borrowed money
resources, available to him, and has used them in different way. For
participants of enterprise activity this fact is not proved, but presumed.
as reimbursement of legal costs and other
expenses borne due to imposing collection on gaged property;
* Article 393 of the Civil Code of the
Russian Federation
- as reimbursement of expenses borne in the
course of selling gaged property.
If other is not stipulated in agreement,
the mortgage backs claims of the pledgee in amount existing as of the moment of
their satisfaction at the expense of gaged property.
Provisions of the law on mortgage are
applied to gage of real estate, arrears of housing, provided that it is being
constructed on the plot allotted for construction in the order, established by
the current legislation.* But it is prohibited to accept in gage village house
from family, earning its living by agriculture, because it is impossible to
impose collection on such house.** Here, we can see, potential for fraud. But
if the house itself is constructed on unpaid credit, it is possible to impose
collection on such a house. Common difficulties arising at imposing collection
on housing accommodations will be described below. It is evident, that mortgage
of real estate being in joint property is possible only on consent of all
proprietors. But gage of a share in common property does not require consent of
remaining joint owners. Though, in this case there may arise additional
difficulties in the course of selling the gage, including difficulty connected
with pre-emption right arising for other joint owners.
In agreement on mortgage there should be
indicated the right, by virtue of which the property being subject of the
mortgage belongs to the pledger. In case of housing accommodation it may be
only property right.

Certified by encumbrance
If rights of
mortgage under Ar
ticle 13 of the present Federal
Law are to be certified by encumbrance, this shall be stated in the mortgage
agreement.
The agreement on mortgage should be
attested by a Public Notary and is subject to State registration.* It is put in
force from the moment of such registration. It is very important, that the
credit agreement, which is backed by the mortgage, can be concluded after
registration of the mortgage agreement. Thus the right of the gage arises from
the moment of conclusion of the credit agreement and the borrower risks
nothing, if the credit agreement will not be concluded at all. To make legal
status of the parties unambiguous it is useful to conclude as well preliminary
agreements. Before rise of gage right the property will not be considered charged
as mortgage before the third persons.
* Article10 of the Federal law N102-FL of
July 16, 1998 “On Mortgage”.
Insurance of real estate is conducted in
accordance with conditions of the mortgage agreement, thus the bank - pledgee
has right of preference satisfaction of claims from insurance compensation
before all other creditors. Therefore it is useful to insure gaged property,
insured amounts being not lower than the size of the basic debt with allowance
for interest. The bank has possibility to check availability and state of the
gaged property in a nature and according to documents. Disposal of the gaged
property by the proprietor is possible only on consent of the bank. At any
universal succession (for example, by way of inheritance) the mortgage is
saved, even if the succession took place with violation of law on transfer of
rights. Bargain on disposal of property without consent of the bank is
considered invalid.
In the case of confiscation of real estate
by way of sanction for committing crime, under general rule the gage ceases *,
but the law on mortgage provides its preservation as well in this case**. It
seems, that in this case governs the norm of the special law. That is, the
mortgage is saved as well in the case of transfer of property rights to the
State. But in the case of vindication of gaged property (recovery to the
rightful owner from another's illegal possession according to court decision)
the mortgage ceases. It will happen, for example, in the case of purchase of
living apartments from realtor, to whoms it did not belong to or in the case if
the court considers invalid transfer of rights on living apartments to this
realtor.***
In general, legislation allows multiple
subsequent gage of property, already charged with mortgage, which drastically
reduces credit status of the borrower, expected by the bank as of the date of
concluding agreement. In order to prevent this negative factor it is necessary
to include appropriate forbidding term in each mortgage agreement.
In its part, the bank can concede its
rights on the mortgage. But concession by the pledgee of rights for agreement
on mortgage to other person is valid, if to the same person are conceded rights
of claim from the debtor on the basic liability backed by the mortgage. Or
else, the mortgage always follows the credit. The mortgage simplifies cession
of rights on considered legal relations. Being a circulating in the market
security, the mortgage is transferred by executing the next endorsement (it is
required only subsequent State registration of such transfer). The mortgage is
as well convenient due to the fact that it can be in its turn a subject of
gage.
The foreclosure. The bank can impose
collection on gaged property for satisfaction at the expense of this property
of its claims emerged due to default or inadequate fulfillment of obligations,
backed by the mortgage, in particular in the case of complete or partial
non-payment or delayed payment of amount due. In case of periodic payments: if
there happens violation of installment terms more than three times within 12
months, even if each delay is minor.****

Collection, as a rule, is imposed under
appropriate decision of a court. And, if the pledger is a citizen, the court
can at his request postpone fulfillment of imposed collection for 1 year’s
term, provided that the sum of increasing debt will not exceed cost of the real
estate. Ex curia realization can happen on the basis of the notarially
certified agreement between the parties (the above mentioned “buy off”), but in
this situation the right of gage does not cease.
Mortgage of housing accommodation has
features, which are not applicable to bowers and garden houses. But it remains
not quite clear, how they can actually be differentiated from each other. In
the bower it is also possible to “register” a relative and it suddenly becomes
“the only house of a farmer”. The agreement on mortgage of housing
accommodation can not be concluded by representative (“by proxy”), except for
property of the wards, but in this case are required appropriate sanctions of
authorized State bodies. An apartment house or a flat bought at the expense of
credit of the bank in the property are considered as a gage from the moment of
State registration of the contract on purchase of the apartment house or the
flat (Paragraph 77 of the Laws “On mortgage”). The pledgee under the given gage
is bank or other credit organization, which granted credit for purchase of this
apartment house or this flat. To the gage of apartment house or the flat arising
on the basis of indicated provision of the law, are applied rules governing
gage of real estate arising in pursuance of the agreement. Indicated norm of
the law on mortgage is convenient for the purposes to simplify accumulation of
evidence for possible in the future judicial proving of the bank’s rights.
It is desirable to include all essential
conditions and even all details, being at the first glance of little
significance, in separate agreement. Though, Moscow mortgage program uses
simplified approach. All essential conditions of the mortgage are supposed to
be included in the credit agreement with the bank and in contract on purchase
of the flat, acquired on the credit, and the right of gage will arise by virtue
of the above mentioned provision of Paragraph 77 of the Law “On mortgage”.
To my regret, the problem of “members of
the family” and their possible ejection still remains actual with any even most
legally worked agreement. Imposing collection by the pledgee on the gaged
apartment house or flat and selling of this property are not considered to be a
basis for ejection by purchaser of this apartment house or this flat of jointly
living in this premise pledger and members of his family, if for them it is the
only available premise suitable for permanent residence.
The law makes exception in cases with
mortgage of housing accommodation purchased on the bank credit. Insolvent
tenants under the law on mortgage are obliged to eject by themselves. Though,
this obligation arises within a month’s term after actual selling of this
housing accommodation to third persons.* It is clear, that the price of the
flat with tenants, who are still to be ejected, will
* Article 78 of the Federal law N102-FL of
July 16, 1998 “On Mortgage”.
considerably reduce, unless gangsters will
purchase it with moderate discount. But I think, what even when the law on
mortgage foresees ejection, calling it “duty to release the premise”, there is
no court able to satisfy the claim of purchaser on ejection of the former
tenants without granting them other housing accommodation. The matter is that
in the case of competition (contradiction) of provisions of different laws,
preference is given to special provisions of branch legislation, that is in
this case to Housing Law, instead of the Law “On mortgage”. To this legislation
there exists as well direct reference in the Civil Code: “Members of
proprietor’s family living in belonging to him living quarters have right to
use this premise on conditions, foreseen by housing legislation.”** And Housing
Law foresees ejection without giving other living quarters only in one case: if
tenants systematically destroy or spoil living quarters, or will use it in
improper ways.*** However, this provision was not widely used for many years of
its operation. In all other cases in the court decision on ejection there
should be indicated other living quarters, satisfying to sanitary regulations
and located in the same city, where is obliged to move ejected family.
Therefore the bank should be ready to situation, when in the course of wide
implementation of the program of mortgage crediting it will find necessary to
organize special fund of living apartments for dislodged families.
Perspective direction for protection of the
creditor bank interests is insurance of its risks, but taking into
consideration all above mentioned, it is most likely to increase significantly
the cost of the credit.
2.1.2. The subjects and types of mortgage
and mortgage crediting.
The mortgage of land, enterprises, living
houses, apartments has its own peculiarities. The inhabited house or apartment
can be the object of mortgage if the owner and members of his family live in
other house.
The mortgage can be established on every
real estate, which the creditor has the right to sell or to alienate in other
manner. The mortgage is not permitted with respect to the property, to which it
is impossible to make a claim in accordance with the law.
In accordance with the main purpose the
objects of mortgage distinguish:

In the case of mortgage of the right of
rent of real estate the rules , which regulate mortgage of the property, which
is let out on lease, are used.
The mortgage of land, enterprises, living
houses, apartments has its own peculiarities.
Mortgage holder in accordance with the
mortgage agreement of land and in accordance with the mortgage agreement of
pledge on land can be the bank, which has the license from the Central Bank of
Russian Federation on realization of mortgage operations. In this case the
estimation of land cannot be established in the pledge less than its normative
price.
The normative price for land – is a special
type of payment for land. The price represents the index which characterizes
the value of the land of definite quality and location, proceeding from
potential income for the calculated time of recoupment. The normative price for
land is used in the case of purchase and repayment of land, in the case of
transmission of the land in property, in accordance with inheritance ,
donation, and also in the case of receipt as a collateral of banking credit.
It is necessary, however, to take into
consideration, that neither home experience nor experience of foreign countries
of determination of land price in the modern Russian conditions can provide
strict and reliable result.
The most complicated situation became with
estimation of land. The imperfection of home methodical developments consists
of the fact that they are based in principle on cost estimation of the capital
invested in the land, without taking into consideration its possibilities of
rent formation and real behaviour of both sellers and buyers of land property,
the volume and the structure of demand and offer and so on. Such determined
factors as the size of rent, the possibility of different using of land,
economic solvency of social demographic environment as a bearer of consumer
demand, manpower, competitive relations and so on.
Namely similar methodical approach
determined laughably small size of so named normative price of land. The
richest chernozems of Krasnodarskiy and Stavropolskiy krais, Rostovskiy,
Voronezhskiy, Volgogradskiy and the number of other regions of the country,
which possess the lands of high productivity, are sold at the worthless prices
in accordance with normative state estimations. In the case of such price
policy and tax system the mortgage form of crediting is blocked, and the most
important element of market regulation of land relations is excluded, the
market mechanism of the price self regulation becomes deformed, and not only in
agrarian sphere, but in the whole production economic structure of the country.
/12/
If the object of the mortgage is enterprise
as a whole as the sole property complex, so all the property , belonged to the
enterprise as legal person , enters into the structure of mortgaged property,
including the rights of requirement, patents and other exclusive rights, and
also debts and obligations of this enterprise, which pass to the buyer from the
moment of the state registration of the right of ownership for the purchased
property. The received incomes of the enterprise, the purchased property and
also debts, received by the enterprise in the period of mortgage, enter into
the structure of mortgaged property.* The structure of the property,
transferred to the mortgage of the enterprise, and the estimation of its cost
are determined on the basis of full inventory of the enterprise property. The
act of inventory, the balance sheet and the conclusion of the independent
auditor of the structure and the value of the enterprise property are the
obligatory appendices to the pledge.**
*Item 2 of the Article 340 of Civil Code of
the Russian Federation
** Item 3 of the Article 70 of the law “On
Mortgage”
The mortgage of inhabited house or the
apartment is permitted for providing repayment of the loan, granted for
construction, reconstruction or capital repair of inhabited house (apartment).
The inhabited house (apartment) can be the object of mortgage if the owner and
members of his family live in other house, in accordance with the norms of
living square for occupants. The living rooms, as a part of the whole house,
cannot be the subject of the mortgage on the general basis.
In the terms of economic crisis, which
enveloped all sections of economy, neither the state nor the enterprises could
finance sufficiently the social programs, in particular, housing construction.
The resolution of living problems is laid on the population. However, the major
part of the population does not have the large monetary amounts or considerable
movable property, and that is why the sole variant of the credit receipt for
improving of living conditions becomes mortgage.
The mortgage living credits are subdivided
to the following:
the credits granted for construction of
dwelling;
the credits for purchase of dwelling.
Depending on the subject of crediting the
mortgage loans for construction of dwelling are divided to the credits, granted
immediately to the future owner, and to the loans, granted to contractors.
The pledge becomes very important in the
process of the mortgage crediting of dwelling. The creditor – holder of pledge
in the case of non-fulfillment by the mortgagor of the obligation to return the
loan gets the right to receive non-returned means for account of realization of
mortgaged real estate in immediate order by comparison with the other
creditors. The variety of mortgage is pawning. In the case of pawning in
contradistinction to ordinary mortgage the property is managed not by the
mortgagor but the holder of the pledge, that is bank. So, for the period of
pawning the apartment mortgaged by the borrower is at the disposal of the bank.
The construction of apartment in the
structure of the house with many flats or in the structure of individual living
house and the expenses for its purchase can be the objects of mortgage
crediting. In this case the different variants of combination of object of
collateral and object of crediting are possible: the loan for living
construction is granted under mortgage of dwelling; the loan for living
construction is granted under mortgage of land; the loan for purchase of
dwelling is granted under mortgage of dwelling. /11/
As far as in the last time it is
practically impossible to receive means from the federal treasury for
development of social sphere of region, the municipal banks of mortgage
crediting for support of housing construction began to arise. That is why the
mortgage business became attractive for many commercial structures and also for
the banks.
2.2 The stages of organization of mortgage
relations between the bank and the borrower. The main directions of decrease of
credit risks.
Reduction of credit risk to minimum is the
main target of the right organization of crediting. There are the whole range
of the legal principal of crediting, which shall be observed both by creditors
and borrowers.
The mortgage credits are issued, as a rule,
by the banks, which specialize in granting long-term loans under real estate
mortgage. There are first of all mortgage banks and land banks, which grant
long-term loans on the whole under the mortgage of land. Commercial,
agricultural and other banks can be engaged in the stated operations.
The enterprise or individual, who presumes
to get banking credit, must conclude the credit agreement with the bank in
written form. The preliminary stage is presentation of application for getting
credit. For the bank the receipt of application for granting credit is the
reason for:
examination of credit solvency and
financial soundness of borrower;
conclusion of credit agreement;
conclusion of agreement of credit
assurance.
In Russia the main question in the case of
making decision of crediting in the modern situation is assurance of return of
credit means. Proceeding from that it is necessary to consider the main
methodological and organizational principles of mortgage crediting which is
called in its essence to resolve the present problem.
Before direct estimation of the object of
crediting and granting of credit for dwelling, it is expedient to resolve the
strategic questions of crediting: concerning optimal utmost share of credit in
the cost of the house, and also concerning the tactics of distribution of
credit risk among the creditor, the borrower and the securities investors. /6/
Reduction of credit risk to minimum is the
main target of the right organization of crediting. There are four types of
risks in the western practice of mortgage crediting:
credit;
risk of agent;
risk of interest rates;
risk of advance payment.
The credit risk consists of the fact that
the borrower does not realize payments for redemption of the loan in the
stipulated time. The risk of agent is connected with the possibility of
withdrawal by the clients in uncomfortable moment. The risk of interest rates
is caused by the fact that the price of the means used by the creditor
increases above the interest rate, collected by him from the client for using
the credit, on unpaid loans that leads to losses on these loans. This type of
risk is classic risk of long-term investments, which are financed for account
of short-term deposits or from other short-term sources.
The risk of advance payment consists of the
fact that the borrower pays the indebtedness in advance, when the interest
rates for the credit decrease, and in its essence it is close to the risk of
interest rates, that is why some specialists do not include the stated risk in
separate category.
The main principle of the risk distribution
– to distribute it among those who are better prepared for protection from it.
So, the credit risk (the whole or by parts) can be transferred to insurance
companies, and a part of the risk of agent and the risk of interest rates can
be transferred to the investors of securities. The determination of the optimum
share of the credit in the cost of object of crediting and in the amount of
collateral assures reduction of the risk.
The correlation between the volume of the
loan and the cost of mortgage characterizes the quality of the sources of debts
return and permits to determine, which part of credit can be paid for account
of realization of real estate, and which part of credit will be compensated by
the insurance company. This question shall be the main in the case of
conclusion of the credit agreement. The lower interest of the loan in the size
of the collateral reduces the risk of the bank, but brings down its
competitiveness and it does not attract clients. The increase of the stated
correlation attracts clients, but in this case the risk of creditor grows. At
the present time in the western countries we can see the increase of the share
of loan in the collateral. So in the USA for a long period of time it was
considered as usual the granting of loan in the size of 50% of the estimated
cost of mortgage, and the last time the loans reach 80% of the mortgage.
One of the universal method of assurance of
guarantee of loan return is diversification, which permits to distribute in
even manner the risk among borrowers. The principle of action of this mechanism
consists of the following.
As a rule, not all the clients of the bank
become defaulters at the same time. Usually one client from fifty does not
fulfill obligations on repayment of credit, however, it is very difficult to
determine in good time the concrete defaulter. In such conditions the private
person, who grants credit the other person, bears the whole risk. In
contradistinction to him the bank, which grants credits different clients under
collateral of real estate, can afford considerable number of non-returns of
loans, establishing the norm of interest for their use, which can compensate
this risk. In this case all the depositors become united in original pool on
loans under pledge, and everyone from them participates in compensation of
possible risk.
For assurance of opportune return of
payments the right choice of instrument of housing crediting is rather important,
which could take into consideration all modifications of business solvency of
the client at the different stages of payment of the loan and the real
possibilities of creditor. Among the proposed range of such instruments “the
instrument with regulated delay of payments” (IRDP) is the most popular, which
is recommended by Marisol Ravitse (the Institution of economy of the city, the
USA). The basic interest rate on IRDP is established on some points above, than
the interest rate on interbanking credit market, and that exceeding becomes
constant during all credit period. The payments on loan in this system do not
exceed 30% from the income of family also during all period of loan validity.
/6/
Now we shall consider the main stages of
credit process.
In the case of resolution of question of
granting credit for purchase of dwelling the bank-creditor shall estimate the
possibility of the borrower to assure opportune return of the loan. From this
point of view in the foreign practice there are two main stages in the process
of crediting of dwelling:
analysis of credit solvency of the
borrower;
estimation of the collateral.
These two aspects are in conformity with
two manner of return of granted means: from salary and other incomes of the
borrower or in the result of sale, mortgage. In this case the first variant has
dominated meaning.
2.2.1. The analysis of credit solvency of
the client.
The main purpose of creditor is receipt
from borrower of the most reliable guarantees of loan return in the time of
fulfillment of debentures. It is naturally that the creditor must in the first
place have the strict information of financial position of the borrower, check his
paying capacity, the condition of his property, the availability of debts and
so on.
Before conclusion of credit agreement with
client, the bank shall examine thoroughly the person of the borrower, taking
into consideration three main factors: stability, payment solvency and
readiness to pay debts.
In the case of analysis of the first factor
– the stability – the bank considers the duration of living of the client on
the present location and the stable place of working, taking into consideration
that the changes of work could influence on opportune payment of debts, and the
change of living location will complicate the inquiry of the borrower.
In the process of determination of payment
solvency the incomes of the borrower shall be estimated, including principal
incomes, additional incomes and others, which shall be compared with the
present and proposed expenses. The criterion for making positive decision is
the condition, that the borrower has cash in the size not less than 20% from
the amount of purchased house. For estimation of payment solvency the following
coefficients are used : construction coefficient – the correlation of received
salary and other monthly incomes to the debts on dwelling; opposite to the
construction coefficient the debts coefficient, which characterizes the total
amount of the borrower debts ; the coefficient of correlation of loan to the
value of the house. /9/
In the case of analysis of the borrower
readiness to pay debts it is necessary to take into consideration the fact if
the borrower realized in time all payments in the past. The bank examines all
information, connecting with the creditors of the borrower and using in this
case the services of private agents, who collect information concerning
borrowers and banks-creditors. The banks may use special questionnaires for
receipt by the borrowers of housing credit in the necessary cases in the
process of examination of credit solvency of the client.
In the case when the enterprise is a
borrower or, for instance, farming keeping, the determination of credit
solvency of the received result depends considerably on the quality of
collected information. The credit solvency is determined by the indices, which
permit to reveal exactness of the client in the calculations on previously issued
credits, current financial position, perspectives of its change, possibility to
attract different sources for mobilization of monetary means.
In this purpose “the financial face” of the
enterprise shall be determined in the first place, its financial economic
activity shall be examined in the purpose to provide promptness, payment and return
of credit.
But helping the enterprise, the bank shall
remember about its own interest. This process is realized especially sickly at
the present time – in universal mass non-payments of the enterprises to each
other and to banks. At the present time the information centers are absent ,
which develop information concerning financial position of enterprise and
render such information in accordance with the requirements of interested
individuals. There are many reasons of these facts – confidence of reported
information of financial economic activity of the enterprise. That is why any
creditor is obliged to estimate independently the financial stability of the
future borrower. Simultaneously the reputation of the client is examined – his
honesty and decency in the calculations, attitude to his obligations in the
past. The source of information for analysis of credit solvency of the
enterprise is balance sheet. In the case of consideration of the borrower
reporting the creditor shall determine: has he good payment solvency, is his
balance liquid, has he and in what size proper circulating capital, how
manoeuvrable are his means, to what degree does he depend on the used sources
of the means, is he stable in financial position, what is the perspective of
improvement of his financial economic activity, is his sphere of activity
profitable.
For replying to the established questions
it is necessary to use many indices which method of calculation is presented in
the table 4.

2.2.2. Value appraisement of real estate in
pledge
The mortgage gives the creditor the right
to collect and to sell the property of the borrower in the case of non-payment
of indebtedness in the time of fulfillment of the obligation. That it is
necessary to estimate the value of the property of the borrower more correctly,
chousing more appropriate methods of a valuation.
Accordance with the legislation of the
Russian Federation upon agreement of the mortgagor and the mortgagee (observing
the provisions of Article 67 of Federal Law “ On Mortgage” in the event of
mortgage of a land plot); the appraised value shall be stated in the mortgage
agreement in monetary form.
The parties to the mortgage agreement may
entrust appraisal of the subject of mortgage to an independent professional
organisation.
Value appraisement of real estate in pledge
depends on thee factors: real estate prime cost, profitability and location.
Taking into consideration foreign experience in hypothecary crediting in value
appraisement of real estate mainly three methods can be used: expendable
method, comparative method and profitable method. Expendable method is based in
studing investors’ possibilities in buying real estate in this case one must
take into consideration that the prudent investor would not pay for the object
a higher price than the price which he could pay if he taken the appropriate
land for development and for constructing the analogical building in function
and quality and without great delays in near future.
This method is useful for our country. It
can be used if there is not enough information about comparative sales that is
this method can be in passive markets. At the same time using of the expandable
method as the main method in value appraisement of real estate stimulates a
sharp rise in prices of real and it doesn’t give real market value of the
object.
In value appraisement of real estate of the
market value of the building the building is compared with analogical buildings
soft before, which actual market value is well know. But in this case we must
take into consideration a number of factors correcting the value appraisement.
These factors are location of the building, ecological situation, remoteness of
the industrial works, closeness of health and cultural centers, communication
network. The value appraisement depends also on architectural peculiarity, the
style of building, the type of construction, the disposition of the rooms,
hidden defect in building. The problem of value appraisement is finally decided
by modeling as market price is in the base of the value appraisement. /13/
After obtaining of the loan the borrower
bears the responsibility for safety of the building in pledge and measures for
maintaining of the building. These measures are repairs in time, fire
insurance, insurance against natural calamities for bank interest, refusal
against reconstruction or fortifying of the building without the permission of
the bank and using of the properly for illegal activity.
2.2.3. The sole order of real estate
registration.
The mortgage system cannot function without
the sole for all the country order of registration of objects of real estate,
including dwelling, land, pledge sheets.
At the present time the registration of
real estate is based on the separation of the land from other property
connected with it. The consequence of such situation is registration of
different types of real estate in several state organizations. That is
necessary to consider the experience of foreign country. The original mortgage
begins then when the creditor independently on his location can receive
reliable information of position of the real estate which he is interested in,
including information of previously made mortgages or rent agreements
independently on location of the client.
The agreement on mortgage should be
attested by a Public Notary and is subject to State registration. It is put in
force from the moment of such registration.

agreement shall be submitted to a notary along with the encumbrance. A notary
shall state the time and place of notarisation of the mortgage agreement on
the encumbrance as well as number and stamp the sheets of the encumbrance in
keeping with second part of Item 3 of Article 14 of the present Federal Law.

Non-observance
of rules on state registration of mortgage agreement shall lead to its
nullity. Such agreement shall be considered null and void.
Mortgage
agreement shall be considered concluded and shall enter into force since the
moment of its state registration.
The mortgage system cannot function without
the sole for all the country order of registration of objects of real estate,
including dwelling, land, pledge sheets. The attempts of administrations of
separate regions to establish in the purposes of acceleration of mortgage
introduction the local rules of such accounting can lead to the variety incompatible
with meaning of mortgage and cause negative consequences. At the present time
the registration of real estate is based on the separation of the land from
other property connected with it. The consequence of such situation is registration
of different types of real estate in several state organizations: committees on
land resources and land-tenure regulations, bureau of technical inventory ,
committees of direction of state property, housing committees. Each of these
bodies realizes registration of rights for land, buildings, constructions,
living houses and premises in accordance with its rules. Imperfect accounting
of real estate raises doubts with respect to lawfulness of transaction of
sale-purchase, mortgage, and leads to abuses. In such conditions it is
impossible to provide protection of commercial interests of legal person and
individual in the case of transaction with real estate.
The participants of Business Club of the
journal “Law”, discussing the question of establishment of market economy in
the part of regulation of real estate by the Russian legislation, decided, that
the absence of mechanism of registration of mortgage agreement transferred all
market of real estate in the hands of officials, who nobody knew, who could
paralyze, distort every law, or put the fulfillment of the law in dependence on
their decision, and this is the first condition of transformation of legal
business into criminal business.
Besides, in the case of estimation of
application concerning registration of mortgage of real estate, it is necessary
to take into consideration that the law admits repeated mortgage of real estate
to different persons and at the same time establishes the principle of
seniority.* It consists of the fact that each person whose right appears
earlier, will get the first the satisfaction of his requirements from the
amount received from the sale of the mortgage object. Accordingly each later
holder of mortgage will receive only the rest which is left after full
satisfaction of requirements of previous holders.
It means that in the case of the decision
of the question if it should grant credit under collateral or enter into other
obligation covered by collateral, the future mortgage holder should take into
consideration the fact if the property offered as collateral has already been
mortgaged, and if yes so what will be the volume of the requirement assured by
the mortgage.
On the strength of novelty of the
questions, which concern registration and appearance in connection with this of
the whole range of vagueness it is necessary to consider the experience of
foreign countries, where the systems of real estate registration are rather
strictly developed.
In the countries with developed market
economy the registration of real estate has considerable meaning. It is
considered as the base of market functioning. The real estate registration is
effected in two systems: the system of transactions registration and the system
of rights registration. In the first case the documents, which confirm
fulfillment of transaction, shall be registered and
* Item 1 article 342 of Civil Code of
Russian Federation
filed in special books in chronological
order. This system is typical for majority of the states of the USA, England
and the range of other countries. In this system the main factor is
registration of rights of property, which shall be realized under the agreement
between previous and new owners.
The first owner is obliged to check the
ground of his rights for the land. The new owner who is interested in the fact
that the transaction was assured against faults, shall hire special firm, legal
company, which examines the whole history of property on this land or the
object of real estate for the period of 70 years. It is made in the purpose to
find out if there are any circumstances or unknown previous owners who can have
any rights for this land or the object of real estate. This type of the
registration system has imperfection , which , in accordance with general
opinion, consists of the fact that the system cannot give the purchaser of real
estate or the creditor all necessary information and makes them to suffer
considerable losses, necessary for inspection of content of registered
documents.
In the second case the rights for real
estate are registered. In this case any actions are subject to registration,
which concern the stated rights. The advantage of such registration consists of
the fact that the participants of the market of real estate have the
possibility to receive necessary information from appropriate body without
extra expenses. This system of registration is named Central-European and is
the most popular in the world and presumes that the right of property is
guaranteed by the state. There the lands and the objects of real estate are
subject to the state registration in the land book in which the full and exact
information of real estate is introduced. It is established for these purposes
that all registered rights for coming into power must be introduced into land
book. The guarantee of completeness and rightness of information of real estate
is the most precious thing for this system. It can be reached by introducing
into land book of information which is the most substantial for the
characteristic of the legal position of real estate. First of all the rights of
owners shall be registered, and also the lease of mortgage; the rights,
appeared on the strength of other transactions; the rights of using of real
estate by other persons than the owner /servitudes/, for instance the rights of
establishment of boards with advertisement , the right of passage, different
burdens /fees, arrests, court decrees/, mutual using particularly in
condominiums. The enormous advantage of this system is the possibility to
restore without additional expenses the history of owners of real estate
objects. /9/
The bright proof of the role of Central
Europe system is fixation of keeping of land book not only in the national
legislation of separate countries, but also in the international acts. So the
obligation of the state for keeping of land book is stipulated in the paragraph
of the first article of the first additional protocol of European convention on
human rights .
In accordance with the opinion of A.
Lazarevskiy/ the head of the Division of the methodical assurance of the State
Committee of property of Russia/, the above-mentioned system of registration
when the state guarantees the rights of property, undoubtedly is cheaper than
the registration of transactions. Exactly Russia needs such system. “From our
point of view – he says – the first task is the creation of the sole for our
country system of registration. First, we need register of objects of real
property as physical objects, with statement of strict borders of the land on
the location, with statement of physical parameters of constructions, and the
second register – it is the register of legal rights of owners for this real
estate. Second, the registration of legal rights separate from the first
registration is necessary. In this case the land shall be considered not as a
physical object, but as a range of rights for using of land in the permitted
limits. The rights for change of using, sale, mortgage – all these rights shall
be enumerated in the land book, and also the restrictions.
All the owners shall be named in the
chronological order from the moment of registration of the object of real
estate. The administrator – representative of the state, that is registering
body, must guarantee reliability of realized operations. The observations and recommendations
of doctor Otman Shtekkor /Union of the German mortgage banks/ are devoted to
the problem of the real estate registration. He thinks that for issuing
mortgage credits it is necessary both loan-contractual right and legislation of
mortgage and land books. In the case of creation of system of land books it is
very important to determine in good time the reasons of land registration. It
is also important to provide that the registration records were full. The
purchaser of property must entrust the correctness and completeness of records.
Every interested person shall have the possibility to get quickly et not
expensively reliable information of legal situation on land. Excessively high
tariffs of the land-book administration and notary will only provide deviation
from registration and lead to roundabout transactions. It is especially
important that the information of land-survey will be in strict conformity with
the records of owner rights in the land –book, that the identification of the
lands and the establishment of their legal status can be realized in every
time. /8/
The law “On pledge” stipulates one more
type of registration of real estate – keeping by the mortgagor of the book of
mortgage recording. In this case the mortgagor is obliged not later than ten
days after appearance of mortgage to introduce in the book record of the type
and the object of mortgage, and also the volume of liquidity of the obligation
assured by the collateral. The mortgagor must bear responsibility for opportune
and correct introduction of information of mortgage into the book and also for
deviation because of incomplete and insufficient information from presentation
of the records book for examination.* However, the stated norm does not work.
The Civil Code does not stipulate the obligation of mortgagor to keep book of
mortgage recording, and only establishes, that mortgagor is obliged to inform
every next pawnee of all existed mortgages of this property and to be
responsible for expenses, caused to pawnee by non-fulfillment of these
obligations.** The absence of the norm of keeping by the mortgagor of the book
of mortgage recording in the Civil Code can be possibly explained by the fact
that this

Russian Federation on 29 of May, 1992
N2872-1
* * Item 3 of the article 342 of the Civil
Code of Russian Federation.
question shall be resolved by the law “On
mortgage”. However, the law “On mortgage” does not contain either such norm,
and it is omission of legislator. In my opinion the law “On mortgage” shall
contain norm of obligation of mortgagor to keep the book of mortgage recording
or the book of registration of mortgage into which the mortgagor is obliged not
earlier than ten days after appearance of mortgage to introduce information of
type, object of mortgage and the volume of liquidity of obligation assured by
collateral, and to present it for examination to every interested person.
Besides it is necessary to stipulate also responsibility of mortgagor for
inopportune keeping of records in the book of mortgage registration, for
incompleteness or incorrectness of records and also for deviation from duties
to present the book of mortgage registration to the interested persons.
The original mortgage begins there and then
where and when the creditor independently on his location can receive reliable
information of position of the real estate which he is interested in, including
information of previously made mortgages or rent agreements independently on
location of the client.
The mortgage presumes registration of
mortgage transactions in standard order by the sole body in narrow connection
with legal practice, court, arbitration court, in this result the possibility
of repeated mortgage is excluded. The functioning of this system is impossible
without creation of the unified general base of information of mortgaged real
estate. In this it is its main difference from systems, which are based on
separate information, published in different newspapers and advertisement
editions, which do not bear responsibility for reliability of proposed
information. This problem can be decided with help of central network of
computer communications.
2.2.4 Insurance – important element
decrease of credit risks.
Carrying out of mortgage operations is as
well connected with definite risks, to which refer risk of loss (destruction)
or damage of the subject of gage etc. Insurance allows considerably reduce this
kind of risks.
The legal basis for insurance of mortgage
operations are the norms contained in the Paragraph 3 of the Chapter 23, and
also in the Chapter 48 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, Law of the
Russian Federation from November 27, 1992 No 4015-1 “On organization of
insurance business in Russian Federation” and Federal Law from July 16, 1998 No
102-FЗ “On mortgage (gage of the real estate)” (hereinafter referred to as “law
on mortgage”).
Article 343 of the Civil Code of the
Russian Federation stipulates that the pledger or pledgee depending on who of
them has gaged property, is obliged, if other is not stipulated be the current
legislation or agreement, to insure gaged property at expense of the pledger.
The same provisions are contained and defined in a more detailed way in the
Article 31 of the law on mortgage. Provisions of this law say, that insurance
of the property gaged in accordance with agreement on mortgage, is conducted
pursuant to conditions of the indicated agreement. Thus, in case of absence in
the agreement on mortgage of other conditions on insurance of the gaged real estate,
the pledger is obliged to insure this property at his own expense for a total
cost from risks of losses and damages, and if the total cost of the property
exceeds the size of the backed liabilities – for the sum not less than the sum
of these backed liabilities. /7/
As a rule, the beneficiary according to
agreement on insurance of real estate being subject of the gage, is nominated
the pledgee, that is the creditor under liabilities, backed with the gage.
However and in cases, when the gaged property is insured for the benefit of
other persons (for example, for the benefit of the pledger), for the purpose to
protect interests of the pledgee - creditor, the pledgee has right to satisfy
claims under liabilities backed with the mortgage directly from insurance
indemnity paid in case of loss or damage of the gaged property. The indicated
requirement is subject to satisfaction on priority basis before satisfaction of
claims of other creditors of the pledger and persons, to whose benefit is
carried out insurance.
If pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the agreement of insurance the gaged property is insured for the sum lower than
the total cost of property, than in the case of insured accident which has
entailed loss or damage of insured property, insurance company reimburses to
the pledgee only part of losses calculated proportionally to ratio of the sum
of insurance to full (insurance) cost of the gaged property. Insurance
agreement may stipulate a higher size of insurance indemnity, but not exceeding
the full (insurance) cost of property. The indicated provision referring to
so-called incomplete property insurance, is stipulated in the Article 949 of
the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
Insurance of gaged property is one of
important terms and conditions of agreement on mortgage. Pursuant to the
Article 35 of the law on mortgage if the pledger does not fulfill his
responsibility to insure the gaged property, the pledgee has right to require
advance fulfillment of liabilities, backed by the mortgage, and if such demand
will not be satisfied, the pledgee has right to impose collection on the gaged
property.
Chapter 3. The problems and the
perspectives of mortgage crediting.
3.1. Foreign experience of mortgage
crediting
The examination of the world experience of
mortgage credit organization shows, that this market has considerable
potential.
The mortgage banks appeared for the first
time in Germany in XVIII century. The first mortgage bank was the state bank,
founded in Silesia in 1770 for rendering financial support to large landowners.
At the beginning of XIX century the activity of mortgage banks extended on the
small landlord properties, and then on the peasant lands. In the middle of 60
years of XX century there were in Germany 13 state and 25 private land banks.
The control package of shares of majority of the banks belonged to large banks.
In other countries there is no similar
strict system of mortgage banks. So in the USA in 1916 the land banks were
organized in 12 districts for issuing long-term loans under collateral of land.
At the present time the mortgage credits in the USA are granted on the whole by
loan-savings associations, mutual-savings banks and small farmers banks, which
have regional meaning. /6/
In Canada the mortgage banks are engaged on
the whole in crediting of operations with real estate. At the beginning the
object of their activity was crediting of agriculture under collateral of land
and agricultural constructions, and then – in principle housing construction.
In France the biggest land bank
(“Crédit fonds de terre de France “ ) and its affiliate “ Office of
businessmen ” (“ Comptoir des entrepreneurs ”) grant credits to landowners and
construction companies for housing and production construction. Mortgage
operations are realized also the bank of land crediting (French land bank)
which was founded in 1853. The bank credits on the whole the large construction
for the period from 3 to 20 years.
In the European countries, as Finland,
Sweden, Belgium, Holland there are both private and state mortgage banks. So in
Finland the private banks grant mortgage credits. Real estate serves as
collateral – land and constructions, both production and non-production. The
banks mobilize more than 70% of means by issuing of mortgage bonds. In Sweden
four mortgage banks function which are under state control. They are engaged in
crediting of housing construction, agriculture, shipbuilding, and also trade.
In Belgium the special credit organizations realize operations of granting
long-term loans, which form so-called state credit section. This section
consists of Central department of mortgage crediting, which loans are
guaranteed by the state. In Holland the mortgage credits are granted by
agricultural credit institutions, organized on cooperative basis. They are
unified by the Central cooperative peasant bank (Rabobank).
There are mortgage banks in some developing
countries (Argentina, Mexico, Nigeria and others).
Now we will consider some distinctive
features of organization of mortgage crediting in developed countries. The
experience of these countries in this sphere to some extent can be used in the
conditions of Russia.
For the countries of Romanic German right
(The whole Western Europe, except Denmark) the similar regime of mortgage is
typical: notary certified act, land-survey or land book, publications of
mortgage ant other essential formalities.
The registration of mortgage is realized by
state officials ( in the countries with land book – by the judge). He registers
all acts of law of estate on transactions with real estate (sale, purchase,
servitude , privileges and others) and also forms real and personal card-index.
With his help it is possible to receive real picture of mortgage and privileges
with respect to real estate. All these factors permit creditor to be convinced
of the fact that:
the mortgage property really exists in acts
(with help of land-survey or land book);
the property is not mortgaged (with help of
card-index of registration or judge).
Without above-mentioned services it is
impossible to create good functioned safe mortgage system. Otherwise great
difficulties may appear for organizations which grant loans.
If the creditors do not have strict idea of
mortgaged property, they can suffer losses because of the reason that such
property did not exist. Moreover because of the fault in records, which should
be kept in strict chronological order, the creditor can lose his preferential
right, which will be transferred to other creditors./8/
In other countries the conception of
mortgage is more flexible and less formalized , especially in the countries of
English Saxon right with regime “Equity & Common Law”. Particularly there
is no necessity in naturally certified act, and mortgage can bear general
character, that is the object of mortgage is not emphasized or the publication
is absent. Two above-mentioned systems are used in Denmark.
Why in the case of availability of rich own
experience before revolution and possibility of using of the experience of
developed countries the mortgage in our country did not occupy adequate place?
The claims on this question can be made to
all participants of the market – borrowers, creditors and the state. And even
first of all to the state, because till now the favourable legal base was not
created, by no means the creation of the secondary market is stimulated. The
latter is very important. Many economists think , that this is secondary market
which will become kernel round which the whole structure will begin develop.
Four level similar system (and rather effective) already exists in the USA, in
which federal agency of mortgage crediting is introduced as a additional
element in chain between links “the state” and “mortgage bank” – it is to some
extent the agent of federal government. And there are several such agents in
the USA – Federal National Association, Federal Homebuilding Loan Mortgage
Corporation, Federal Land banks, created for crediting under mortgage of
farming lands and , which act in accordance with the principles of above mentioned
associations, and others. All these organizations represent original areas on
which the present segment of the securities market functions. Receiving the
guarantee from the government these associations buy the pledges from private
financial institutions. In their turn the monetary means come to associations
from the sale of own securities. The profit received from the trade of these
securities is invested to great extent to the homebuilding and in this manner
the retrospective link is effected. /6/
Thus the importance of existing of such
associations is determined by those functions, which they realize: development
of standards of mortgage crediting, assistance in support of liquidity of banks
through refinancing of some types of credits, issuing of own securities for
attraction of new investments in the sphere of homebuilding. It is necessary to
note that this section of the market of debentures is the largest in the world
in accordance with the volume of attracted capital.
The examination of the world experience of
mortgage credit organization shows, that this market has considerable
potential. It is important that it help to resolve one of the most sharp social
question – providing the population with dwelling.
3.2. The problems. The first steps of organization
of mortgage crediting In Russia.
Mortgage crediting – to great extent new
for our country type of banking services, and there are serious obstacles,
which impede its development. The main obstacles are insufficient normative
legal examination of the question, complication of attraction of long-term
resources for mortgage, estimation of different types of risks and payment
solvency of borrower. All these problems impede considerably development of
mortgage in Russia. However nobody doubts that it will be used in all parts in
the future.
The organization of the system of long-term
homebuilding mortgage crediting in Russia becomes complicated because of some
circumstances. The high and unstable rates of inflation determine potentially
important risk of interest rates in the case of long-term crediting. The risk
of homebuilding crediting, connected with the possibility of using of home
property as a collateral, increases also because of insufficient legal
examination of the question of possibility for the bank of making claim on
mortgaged property of the client in the case of nonpayment of the credit by the
borrower. The genuine experience of mortgage operations does not exist, and
1500 commercial banks, which function now, form bad controlled and not very
reliable system.
However, in spite of all problems, some
process in development home crediting is reached for all that. The interest of
the banks to these operations can be explained, first, by existing already now
of real solvent demand on long-term home loans and , second, by foresight in
the future of the large market for mortgage credits, and understanding of the
fact, that now it is possible to occupy good position for receipt in the future
of the share on this market.
The creation full legislative normative
base will provide the passage to the civilized forms of mortgage crediting, to
the mass development of mortgage. As we already noted the result of large and
difficult work was adoption by the State Duma of the law of Russian Federation
“On mortgage”. From the point of view of association of mortgage banks the
adopted law on the whole is in conformity with the purposes and the tasks of
development on the legislative basis of civilized mortgage of home crediting.
However this law is ideal, it can be tested by the practice, by life.
The difficult position was formed in the
practice of mortgage crediting in the agricultural section. The situation is
there so that many farmers have accounts in the local banks, but all the
accounts are empty. In particular, in accordance with the information of the
Institution of business development, after decrease of interests rates on
deposits the confidence of the farmers to the banks reduced in catastrophic
manner.
The peasants now prefer to act by methods related
to natural economy. And also the banks do not invest willingly money into
agricultural section. First, agriculture – it is object of crediting, connected
with the high risk because of its dependence on factors which cannot be
forecast. Second, the existing legislation limits the right to consider as
collateral agricultural property, that is land. Absence of legislation of land
finally influences not only on the sphere of mortgage crediting, but on many
other factors of the market. However, if to speak about private property on
land, it is hardly possible that after adoption of this law today to-morrow we
will get high-developed market of mortgage crediting in agriculture. It is
necessary to recall the example of Lithuania where in the period of government of
Pruskene the land was distributed practically free of charge, however the
peasants did not want to take it. It is possible that the reasons here are
deeper, and even not legal or economic, but psychological . You know, before
1917 the secondary market of mortgage developed in Russia rather successively,
however compulsory interruption of seventy years odd not only cancelled
mechanism of its activity, but led to psychological negative attitude of people
to possibility of undertaking any responsibility. It is absolutely that the
above-mentioned has large meaning in the idea of organization of mortgage
crediting, but it is more important in this relation realization of already
adopted and confirmation of acts and decrees on home questions not adopted yet,
because mortgage home crediting occupies leading positions in this section.
At the same time the laws, adopted by the
State Duma “On mortgage”, “On state registration of rights for the real estate
and transactions on them”, do not signify the large spreading in the regions of
the country of civilized principles of mortgage crediting, because the
financial credit institutions, the banks cannot independently resolve questions
of assurance of liquidity in the case of long-term crediting.
This problem shall be solved with help of
the institution of secondary market of mortgage credits, it is necessary to
create special body, which issues securities, guaranteed by the government. The
Association of mortgage banks from the first days of its organization works for
organization of Federal Agency on home mortgage crediting, in which the role of
the state from the point of view of participation and support is high
especially on this stage of the beginning of civilized mortgage. It is
expedient to consider the mortgage system organized by the government of
Moscow.
3.2.1. The chart of mortgage crediting on
the pattern of Moscow mortgage program.
Taking into consideration the large
concentration of banks, realty firms and other organizations on the real estate
market in Moscow and the experience of financing of transactions with it, the
local market of mortgages is organized in the city which will take part in the
future in the federal market in the case of its organization.
The basis and the point of the beginning of
realization of this idea can be the Decree of the city Government N365 from the
25th of April 1995 “On principles of mortgage crediting in Moscow”.
As we already noted, in the developed
countries the organization and the regulation of mortgage market as a rule are
effected by some state or private organization which acts on behalf or by order
of the state, as for instance “Fenni May” in the USA. In Moscow the similar
city organization is formed for realization of these functions under control of
the Commission on securities – Moscow Mortgage Agency (MMA). /Appendix 1/
The Agency is formed as a municipal
organization with the next gradual sale of its assets to private organizations.
It works with narrow contact with the government of Moscow, under its direction
and control. It participates in development of programs of financing of real
estate market in Moscow, in development of securities market of the city, in
their realization together with appropriate departments of the government.
The general purpose of MMA – assurance of
mortgage crediting by financial resources and the guarantees of their return on
mortgage loans, issued by the banks. There are the following functions,
realized by the agency:
Purchase from banks of mortgage credits,
forming in necessary cases of their pools and sale to other banks, insurance
companies and other financial structures;
Realization and organization of issue and
distribution of securities on credits bought from the banks;
Sale of the right of participation in
credits on the base of agreement and forming of pools of mortgage credits;
Guarantee of return of means, issued by the
banks in the form of loans in accordance with the programs of MMA;
Realization of certification of
participants of mortgages secondary market ;
Development and realization of charts of
mortgage crediting and secondary market in the limits of MMA;
Organization of preparation of skilled
specialists on mortgage, preparation and realization of attestation of
organization of participants of mortgage market in the city.
Mechanism of functioning
The bank which granted mortgage credit,
sells it to MMA and by this method gets the possibility to grant this amount
once more. The bank is obliged to service credit (collection of payments and alienation
of property in the case of non-return of credit). The payments on the amount of
credit are transferred through the bank to MMA. The amount of credit rate shall
be divided between the bank (payment for service) and MMA (payment for
resources).
In the case of resale of credit (MMA
purchases from the creditor the credit and sells it to other bank) the cession
of requirements shall be formed (article 380-382 of the Civil Code of Russian
Federation, part 1). Primary creditor can serve such credit, who bears
responsibility only for quality of service.
In the case of necessity of crediting of
transaction on object of high value, when even large bank cannot (or does not
want) grant loan, MMA forms credit pool for such amount. After purchase of the
share of participant in the credit pool, bank buys the right for receipt of
determined interest from the flow of earnings, received on credits, and also in
proportion from it the rights for mortgage on credit. MMA issues and distributes
for the amount of bought mortgage credits the securities, which have
profitability equal to interest rate of credit less incomes of the bank and
MMA. The securities have different periods of turnover and naturally different
rates. For the purpose that the securities on mortgage were profitable for
investor , their profitability shall be for some points above the profitability
of the state securities. All securities of MMA have guarantees of the Moscow
government.
MMA provides for the bank of creditor the
return of amount of the credit granted by him. The borrower realizes monthly
payments on credit to the bank-creditor in accordance with the schedule of
payments, stipulated by credit agreement. The amount of return of indebtedness
on credit is spent for covering the amount of securities of MMA. The bank
transfers some part of credit rate , equal to income of the agency, stipulated
in it, on its settlement account, and the balance is income of the bank. The
difference of the time of securities redemption which have different period of
turnover and issued on mortgage credits of several banks, and which have
different time of payment on them , smoothes over the peaks of disparity of
need and availability of credit resources of the banks participants of MMA and
possible presentation to payment of securities. In the case of exceed of such
resources the bank can participate in credits of other banks immediately or by
purchase of securities of MMA, and on the contrary, in the case of their
shortage, attract resources of other banks or sell securities to MMA.
The agency on separate pools of mortgage
credits realizes their sale to other financial companies of Moscow and other
cities and regions. Thus, from one side , rather free financial resources of
participants of financial market will be attracted to Moscow, from other side,
rather free for this moment financial resources of Moscow will be transferred
to other regions for decision of problems of homebuilding and home purchase by
population of other cities and regions.
At the present time the range of problems
exists, which impedes development of mortgage crediting. The general
instability of economy, low level of incomes of majority of population by
comparison with the cost of dwelling, high taxes and inflation can be taken to
the factors, which influence negatively on the development of mortgage.
But the most serious problem – it is
insufficient help of the state in financial, organizational and legislative
questions. The state in the countries with developed system of mortgage
crediting, especially on the first stage, undertakes financial support of
long-term crediting. The state support can be realized either with help of
privileged taxation of the banks, constructors and other subjects, connected
with the operations of construction financing or dwelling purchase, or with
help of subsidies of the borrower. The organized help is necessary, first of
all, for organization of the above-mentioned Federal Agency on mortgage
crediting, which could buy from the banks credit obligations and issue
securities under pledges, providing in this form the liquidity of mortgage
credits.
Conclusion
Summing up, it is necessary to note that
the detailed consideration of such type of credit services as mortgage credit
shows its big potential in Russian conditions. Russia – the country of enormous
land riches and exactly mortgage of land, and also of fixed assets of many
enterprises can provide means for transformation of production into the market
conditions.
Mortgage crediting – to great extent new
for our country type of banking services, and there are serious obstacles,
which impede its development. The main obstacles are insufficient normative
legal examination of the question, complication of attraction of long-term
resources for mortgage, estimation of different types of risks and payment
solvency of borrower.
All these problems impede considerably
development of mortgage in Russia. However nobody doubts that it will be used
in all parts in the future. That is why farsighted bankers try already now to
understand this profitable and perspective niche, the more so as there is no
serious competition on the present market. Even in the existing legal and
economic situation several charts of mortgage crediting have been already
developed, which permitted to realise these operations with profit and with
minimum risk.
The possibility of using of mortgage for
homebuilding crediting helps to decide not only the task of financial
assurance, but also the sharp problem for Russia of dwelling.
