7% mortgage for a Mardakan pool house: 2026 guide
Since 2020, Azerbaijan's 7% state mortgage covers private houses, not only apartments. Not every bank runs it on a garden house, and not every house qualifies. Here are the real 2026 conditions.
Which banks lend 7% on a private house
In 2026 the active players are Kapital Bank, Bank Republic, ABB, Unibank, Rabitəbank. Rate 7–8.5%, term 15–25 years, down payment from 20% for preferential categories and from 30% for everyone else. Maximum loan 250,000 AZN, with 350,000 AZN available for military families, public-sector staff and IT professionals.
House requirements
- Deeds on both house and land; land use «individual residential».
- Solid construction (brick, limestone, monolithic) — no unauthorised build.
- Build year within the last 40 years, or documented major refurbishment.
- Mains utilities: gas, electricity, water.
- Independent appraisal (250–400 AZN).
Borrower requirements
Age 21–65, 6-month formal income record, monthly payment cannot exceed 40% of income. Up to 3 co-borrowers, incomes combined.
The bank's first question is a payslip. If your main income is grey, don't waste time on the mortgage — go straight to seller installments.
