Life and health insurance for the borrower is not a mandatory type of insurance, but it increases the likelihood of the bank approving the deal.
If you refuse insurance, the bank increases the interest rate by 1% or more. The insurance guarantees the full payment of the mortgage funds to the bank in case of establishing the disability of groups 1 or 2, or the death of the insured person without burdening the heirs.
Mandatory types include construction (property) insurance. The insurance policy is issued after obtaining the ownership of the apartment.
