The law “On pledge” stipulates one more type of registration of real estate – keeping by the mortgagor of the book of mortgage recording. In this case the mortgagor is obliged not later than ten days after appearance of mortgage to introduce in the book record of the type and the object of mortgage, and also the volume of liquidity of the obligation assured by the collateral. The mortgagor must bear responsibility for opportune and correct introduction of information of mortgage into the book and also for deviation because of incomplete and insufficient information from presentation of the records book for examination.* However, the stated norm does not work. The Civil Code does not stipulate the obligation of mortgagor to keep book of mortgage recording, and only establishes, that mortgagor is obliged to inform every next pawnee of all existed mortgages of this property and to be responsible for expenses, caused to pawnee by non-fulfillment of these obligations.** The absence of the norm of keeping by the mortgagor of the book of mortgage recording in the Civil Code can be possibly explained by the fact that this

question shall be resolved by the law “On mortgage”. However, the law “On mortgage” does not contain either such norm, and it is omission of legislator. In my opinion the law “On mortgage” shall contain norm of obligation of mortgagor to keep the book of mortgage recording or the book of registration of mortgage into which the mortgagor is obliged not earlier than ten days after appearance of mortgage to introduce information of type, object of mortgage and the volume of liquidity of obligation assured by collateral, and to present it for examination to every interested person. Besides it is necessary to stipulate also responsibility of mortgagor for inopportune keeping of records in the book of mortgage registration, for incompleteness or incorrectness of records and also for deviation from duties to present the book of mortgage registration to the interested persons.
The original mortgage begins there and then where and when the creditor independently on his location can receive reliable information of position of the real estate which he is interested in, including information of previously made mortgages or rent agreements independently on location of the client.
The mortgage presumes registration of mortgage transactions in standard order by the sole body in narrow connection with legal practice, court, arbitration court, in this result the possibility of repeated mortgage is excluded. The functioning of this system is impossible without creation of the unified general base of information of mortgaged real estate. In this it is its main difference from systems, which are based on separate information, published in different newspapers and advertisement editions, which do not bear responsibility for reliability of proposed information. This problem can be decided with help of central network of computer communications.
2.2.4 Insurance – important element decrease of credit risks.
Carrying out of mortgage operations is as well connected with definite risks, to which refer risk of loss (destruction) or damage of the subject of gage etc. Insurance allows considerably reduce this kind of risks.
The legal basis for insurance of mortgage operations are the norms contained in the Paragraph 3 of the Chapter 23, and also in the Chapter 48 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, Law of the Russian Federation from November 27, 1992 No 4015-1 “On organization of insurance business in Russian Federation” and Federal Law from July 16, 1998 No 102-FЗ “On mortgage (gage of the real estate)” (hereinafter referred to as “law on mortgage”).
Article 343 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation stipulates that the pledger or pledgee depending on who of them has gaged property, is obliged, if other is not stipulated be the current legislation or agreement, to insure gaged property at expense of the pledger. The same provisions are contained and defined in a more detailed way in the Article 31 of the law on mortgage. Provisions of this law say, that insurance of the property gaged in accordance with agreement on mortgage, is conducted pursuant to conditions of the indicated agreement. Thus, in case of absence in the agreement on mortgage of other conditions on insurance of the gaged real estate, the pledger is obliged to insure this property at his own expense for a total cost from risks of losses and damages, and if the total cost of the property exceeds the size of the backed liabilities – for the sum not less than the sum of these backed liabilities. /7/
As a rule, the beneficiary according to agreement on insurance of real estate being subject of the gage, is nominated the pledgee, that is the creditor under liabilities, backed with the gage. However and in cases, when the gaged property is insured for the benefit of other persons (for example, for the benefit of the pledger), for the purpose to protect interests of the pledgee - creditor, the pledgee has right to satisfy claims under liabilities backed with the mortgage directly from insurance indemnity paid in case of loss or damage of the gaged property. The indicated requirement is subject to satisfaction on priority basis before satisfaction of claims of other creditors of the pledger and persons, to whose benefit is carried out insurance.
If pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreement of insurance the gaged property is insured for the sum lower than the total cost of property, than in the case of insured accident which has entailed loss or damage of insured property, insurance company reimburses to the pledgee only part of losses calculated proportionally to ratio of the sum of insurance to full (insurance) cost of the gaged property. Insurance agreement may stipulate a higher size of insurance indemnity, but not exceeding the full (insurance) cost of property. The indicated provision referring to so-called incomplete property insurance, is stipulated in the Article 949 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
Insurance of gaged property is one of important terms and conditions of agreement on mortgage. Pursuant to the Article 35 of the law on mortgage if the pledger does not fulfill his responsibility to insure the gaged property, the pledgee has right to require advance fulfillment of liabilities, backed by the mortgage, and if such demand will not be satisfied, the pledgee has right to impose collection on the gaged property.
Chapter 3. The problems and the perspectives of mortgage crediting.
3.1. Foreign experience of mortgage crediting
The examination of the world experience of mortgage credit organization shows, that this market has considerable potential.
The mortgage banks appeared for the first time in Germany in XVIII century. The first mortgage bank was the state bank, founded in Silesia in 1770 for rendering financial support to large landowners. At the beginning of XIX century the activity of mortgage banks extended on the small landlord properties, and then on the peasant lands. In the middle of 60 years of XX century there were in Germany 13 state and 25 private land banks. The control package of shares of majority of the banks belonged to large banks.
In other countries there is no similar strict system of mortgage banks. So in the USA in 1916 the land banks were organized in 12 districts for issuing long-term loans under collateral of land. At the present time the mortgage credits in the USA are granted on the whole by loan-savings associations, mutual-savings banks and small farmers banks, which have regional meaning. /6/
In Canada the mortgage banks are engaged on the whole in crediting of operations with real estate. At the beginning the object of their activity was crediting of agriculture under collateral of land and agricultural constructions, and then – in principle housing construction.
In France the biggest land bank (“Crédit fonds de terre de France “ ) and its affiliate “ Office of businessmen ” (“ Comptoir des entrepreneurs ”) grant credits to landowners and construction companies for housing and production construction. Mortgage operations are realized also the bank of land crediting (French land bank) which was founded in 1853. The bank credits on the whole the large construction for the period from 3 to 20 years.
In the European countries, as Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Holland there are both private and state mortgage banks. So in Finland the private banks grant mortgage credits. Real estate serves as collateral – land and constructions, both production and non-production. The banks mobilize more than 70% of means by issuing of mortgage bonds. In Sweden four mortgage banks function which are under state control. They are engaged in crediting of housing construction, agriculture, shipbuilding, and also trade. In Belgium the special credit organizations realize operations of granting long-term loans, which form so-called state credit section. This section consists of Central department of mortgage crediting, which loans are guaranteed by the state. In Holland the mortgage credits are granted by agricultural credit institutions, organized on cooperative basis. They are unified by the Central cooperative peasant bank (Rabobank).
There are mortgage banks in some developing countries (Argentina, Mexico, Nigeria and others).
Now we will consider some distinctive features of organization of mortgage crediting in developed countries. The experience of these countries in this sphere to some extent can be used in the conditions of Russia.
For the countries of Romanic German right (The whole Western Europe, except Denmark) the similar regime of mortgage is typical: notary certified act, land-survey or land book, publications of mortgage ant other essential formalities.
The registration of mortgage is realized by state officials ( in the countries with land book – by the judge). He registers all acts of law of estate on transactions with real estate (sale, purchase, servitude , privileges and others) and also forms real and personal card-index. With his help it is possible to receive real picture of mortgage and privileges with respect to real estate. All these factors permit creditor to be convinced of the fact that:
the mortgage property really exists in acts (with help of land-survey or land book);
the property is not mortgaged (with help of card-index of registration or judge).
Without above-mentioned services it is impossible to create good functioned safe mortgage system. Otherwise great difficulties may appear for organizations which grant loans.
If the creditors do not have strict idea of mortgaged property, they can suffer losses because of the reason that such property did not exist. Moreover because of the fault in records, which should be kept in strict chronological order, the creditor can lose his preferential right, which will be transferred to other creditors./8/
In other countries the conception of mortgage is more flexible and less formalized , especially in the countries of English Saxon right with regime “Equity & Common Law”. Particularly there is no necessity in naturally certified act, and mortgage can bear general character, that is the object of mortgage is not emphasized or the publication is absent. Two above-mentioned systems are used in Denmark.
Why in the case of availability of rich own experience before revolution and possibility of using of the experience of developed countries the mortgage in our country did not occupy adequate place?
The claims on this question can be made to all participants of the market – borrowers, creditors and the state. And even first of all to the state, because till now the favourable legal base was not created, by no means the creation of the secondary market is stimulated. The latter is very important. Many economists think , that this is secondary market which will become kernel round which the whole structure will begin develop. Four level similar system (and rather effective) already exists in the USA, in which federal agency of mortgage crediting is introduced as a additional element in chain between links “the state” and “mortgage bank” – it is to some extent the agent of federal government. And there are several such agents in the USA – Federal National Association, Federal Homebuilding Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Land banks, created for crediting under mortgage of farming lands and , which act in accordance with the principles of above mentioned associations, and others. All these organizations represent original areas on which the present segment of the securities market functions. Receiving the guarantee from the government these associations buy the pledges from private financial institutions. In their turn the monetary means come to associations from the sale of own securities. The profit received from the trade of these securities is invested to great extent to the homebuilding and in this manner the retrospective link is effected. /6/
Thus the importance of existing of such associations is determined by those functions, which they realize: development of standards of mortgage crediting, assistance in support of liquidity of banks through refinancing of some types of credits, issuing of own securities for attraction of new investments in the sphere of homebuilding. It is necessary to note that this section of the market of debentures is the largest in the world in accordance with the volume of attracted capital.
The examination of the world experience of mortgage credit organization shows, that this market has considerable potential. It is important that it help to resolve one of the most sharp social question – providing the population with dwelling.
3.2. The problems. The first steps of organization of mortgage crediting In Russia.
Mortgage crediting – to great extent new for our country type of banking services, and there are serious obstacles, which impede its development. The main obstacles are insufficient normative legal examination of the question, complication of attraction of long-term resources for mortgage, estimation of different types of risks and payment solvency of borrower. All these problems impede considerably development of mortgage in Russia. However nobody doubts that it will be used in all parts in the future.
The organization of the system of long-term homebuilding mortgage crediting in Russia becomes complicated because of some circumstances. The high and unstable rates of inflation determine potentially important risk of interest rates in the case of long-term crediting. The risk of homebuilding crediting, connected with the possibility of using of home property as a collateral, increases also because of insufficient legal examination of the question of possibility for the bank of making claim on mortgaged property of the client in the case of nonpayment of the credit by the borrower. The genuine experience of mortgage operations does not exist, and 1500 commercial banks, which function now, form bad controlled and not very reliable system.
However, in spite of all problems, some process in development home crediting is reached for all that. The interest of the banks to these operations can be explained, first, by existing already now of real solvent demand on long-term home loans and , second, by foresight in the future of the large market for mortgage credits, and understanding of the fact, that now it is possible to occupy good position for receipt in the future of the share on this market.
