Is it possible to refuse mortgage insurance and is it reasonable

If you calculate the annual mortgage insurance payments, you get quite large sums. And then, quite naturally, the borrower has questions: "Why is this insurance needed at all? And is it possible to do without it?"

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, the borrower does not have the right to completely refuse mortgage property insurance. Insurance campaigns act as a guarantee of security and, in case of unforeseen situations, will be able to protect the interests of both the bank and the borrower. But, despite the mandatory mortgage insurance, the borrower has the right to choose a more suitable company. He can do this both at the time of purchase of housing, and annually when extending the policy. Thus, in order to reduce annual insurance payments, it is necessary to regularly monitor favorable offers, discounts and promotions on the market.
