Step 2: Document Verification & Property Valuation – 1–2 Weeks

After pre-approval, the bank requires verification of documents and an appraisal of the property.

Documents typically required:

• Proof of equity and assets.

• Pay slips, tax assessments, or accountant letters.

• Property purchase contract.

• Up-to-date Tabu (property registration) or eligibility certificate.

Property appraisal:

• Scheduling: 3–7 days.

Step 3: Final Approval & Signing: 1–2 Weeks

• Sign the mortgage and guarantor documents.

• Set up property and life insurance with the bank as beneficiary.

• Register the mortgage lien (Tabu / Israel Lands Authority).

• Receive funds (typically 7–10 days after signing).
