Mortgage
How does the mortgage application process work?
We prepare a tailor-made offer and a list of the required documents at the branch, over the phone or online.
Once the documents have been provided, we will prepare the application and arrange for a land registry extract and property valuation on your behalf. We also offer you the opportunity to take out an insurance policy.
We assess your income, the property and let you know if your mortgage has been approved. The assessment usually takes up to five business days.
We prepare contract documentation, which you then sign at the branch. You can draw the money online in one lump sum or gradually, depending on the purpose of the mortgage.

FAQ
Can I take out a mortgage if I have nothing saved?
We can lend up to 90% of the value of the mortgaged property to clients under the age of 36 (otherwise max. 80%). If you own your own land, we can also count the value of the land and other real estate as equity when you build your house, i.e., it can be used as collateral for the loan, so you won't need at least 10% of your own funds.
How long will everything take before I can draw on the money?
The length of mortgage processing is individual and depends to a great extent on the length of the property valuation. It usually takes five business days for the loan application to be assessed once all the necessary documents have been submitted.
What documents will I need to apply for a mortgage?
This depends on the purpose of your mortgage, your source of income and the subject of the collateral. Some documents, such as a recent extract from the land registry, a cadastral map or a property appraisal, we will procure ourselves to save you the time of going to the authorities. We will need proof of identity, documents for the purpose of the loan – the purchase contract, the construction contract and proof of regular income. Our clients have even simpler processing because they usually do not have to prove their income.
How does property valuation work?
It always depends on the specific property. If it's an apartment or a house in a community with more than 10,000 inhabitants, we can make an estimate of the property online free of charge. In other cases, our expert or outsourced appraiser will perform a free property valuation.
What insurance will I need for my mortgage?
The mortgage loan is secured by a lien on the property, which must be insured. It is also advisable to insure your ability to repay the mortgage. Life insurance can help you avoid future risks associated with the inability to make payments, for example, due to loss of employment, accident and incapacity to work.

Conditions for obtaining the interest rate and a free valuation
The interest rates for special-purpose loans up to 90% of the value of the property with a fixation period of 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years include:
- a discount for mortgage payments by direct debit from an existing current account held with ČSOB or Poštovní spořitelna for at least three months on the condition of an account balance in the amount of at least 1.5 times the monthly mortgage payment
- discount for mortgage payments by direct debit from the co-borrower's current account with ČSOB or Poštovní spořitelna along with a property insurance policy from ČSOB Pojišt'ovna. This discount can be replaced by a discount for taking out a life insurance policy with ČSOB Pojišt'ovna.
If any of these conditions are not met, the interest rate is increased by 0.3 percentage points. The interest rate applies if two people apply for the loan.
The interest rates of the American mortgage are valid provided that two persons apply for the loan and that they set up a direct debit from a current account they have had with ČSOB or Poštovní spořitelna for at least three months.
Failure to meet any of the above conditions is not a barrier to receiving a mortgage loan, but in this case you are not entitled to the relevant interest rate. For more information on the conditions for obtaining the interest rate, please contact the branches of ČSOB and Poštovní spořitelna.
A free property valuation can be obtained when you apply for a valuation as of 17 February 2020. This special offer is valid until revoked.
