Below is a reminder of the documents required to begin the process, according to the requested purpose:
Documents required for the analysis of the selected property
5 For these purposes, the maximum approved financing percentage may not be exceeded, and shall be calculated against the commercial value of the lot or housing determined in the commercial appraisal of the property.
For subsequent disbursements: following authorization of the property visit, an appraisal will be conducted, and its report must reflect the progress of the works. After the final disbursement, Fondo Nacional del Ahorro may request a new appraisal in order to verify that all disbursed funds were used for the purpose for which they were requested—a condition set forth in the Credit and Leasing Habitacional Regulations. If this condition is not met, the entity may require early repayment of the entire obligation. The cost of the new appraisal will be borne by the entity.
Other required documents
The loan must be secured by a first-priority mortgage in favor of Fondo Nacional del Ahorro S. A., constituted over the property being financed. Said mortgage shall be accepted by Fondo Nacional del Ahorro S. A. following the appraisal of the property or properties and a favorable opinion from the title study.
Not applicable to Leasing Habitacional.
