Preliminary Loan Approval without real estate appraisal

Bank Millennium proposed a new improvement for persons applying for a mortgage loan. Now they can apply for the loan without the need to bring a home value appraisal document – a simple statement of home value will suffice.

As of now when a Customer does not have an up-to-date home appraisal, for the purposes of analysing the loan application the value of the real estate declared by the Customer will be accepted. The analysis will result in either a positive Preliminary Loan Approval (Polish acronym: WOK) or a negative decision. Preliminary Loan Approval tells the Customer that the requested loan can be had in the requested amount, without the need to pay for home appraisal.
This is yet another stage of the changes. We aim to make the mortgage loan application process as easy as possible for Customers, this is why we resigned from the requirement to have a home value appraisal before the analyst verifies the Customer's credit capacity. In this way, without having to pay any costs, Customers can check the amount and terms and conditions of the loan they can get from us - says Agata Chrzanowska, Director of the Mortgage Banking Marketing Department in Bank Millennium.
Additionally Customers of Bank Millennium are kept informed about important stages of the loan approval process. Persons applying for a mortgage loan will get texts about processing the application already 24 hours after the analyst has decided. Also a text will be used to inform them that the loan has been disbursed – the information ism sent immediately, after the money has been transferred as instructed by the Customer.
