I would like to express my gratitude to the employees of the Housing Balance cooperative. I would especially like to mention the specialist Vladislav, who accompanied us on the deal! Responsible, responsive, polite, friendly, competent in all matters, sociable, an excellent specialist in his field. The transaction was conducted clearly, smoothly, confidently and legally correctly!
Housing balance is a great opportunity to solve the housing issue!
They approach their work very responsibly and promptly.
I definitely recommend that people who do not know how to solve the housing issue join a cooperative!
In turn, I wish the cooperative prosperity and well-being!

After moving here, some employees got arrogant. That you come up without an appointment! They immediately rolled their eyes. It was a momentary matter. Moreover, there were half of the available staff. Thank you very much to the girl who was the only one who offered help and identified an employee. I don't know, compared to the girls from the office on Myasnikov, some of them are too arrogant here. Get down to the ground. Being in a business center does not mean being a peacock. According to the work of the company itself, it is a solid 5 (even 10 =), but I take off the star for the employees. The company and its role for citizens are super.

Evgenia explained everything clearly, answered questions of interest and suggested all organizational issues (for example, registration). It is very pleasant that the employees of the cooperative give a sense of care and presence at all stages, special thanks to Evgenia

We would like to share our experience of cooperation with the consumer cooperative Housing Balance. This cooperative really helps people to purchase housing by offering flexible conditions and minimal overpayments.
We joined the cooperative in April 2023. From the very beginning, the process was simple and transparent. We decided on the cost of the apartment and a payment schedule was drawn up. According to the plan, we should have accumulated the necessary amount for about 2.5 years, after which the cooperative would purchase real estate. Since we were overpaying, after 1.5 years we received a call from the cooperative and were offered to choose an apartment in Minsk, and already in August 2024 a deal was made!
I would especially like to note the professionalism and responsiveness of the employees of the cooperative. They were always ready to answer all your questions. Special thanks to Igor Kovel for promptly resolving all issues regarding the transaction and signing the necessary documents.
We are very pleased with our choice and recommend Housing Balance to anyone who is looking for a reliable partner to purchase a home. This cooperative really unites forces and brings the future closer!

Having carried out simple mathematical calculations based on the information provided on the website and all the advertising news on the example presented to the company with an apartment in Minsk for 140 thousand rubles, an initial payment of 15 tas and a payment of 986 rubles, it was possible to calculate that the overpayment will amount to approximately 37.5% of the cost of housing (excluding additional payments), while you will be able to move in only after 4 years of savings and you will have to pay for another 11 years, while the usual bank deposit, which they calculated for the same 4 years, will allow you to save up for an apartment in 6 years and 3 months. Accordingly, from the advantages of the cooperative, you will move in 2 years and 3 months earlier, from the disadvantages you will lose not only 37.5% of the overpayment from the cost of the apartment, but all the profit from the accumulation of funds in the period from 6.25 to 15 years, which will amount to 136.1% of the cost of the apartment.
If we measure the benefit only in the financial issue, then the cooperative is more profitable than a loan from a bank, but is inferior to accumulation in the form of a deposit.
If you look at the timing of obtaining housing, the earlier you get housing, the more financially unprofitable the financing option will be: by taking out a loan from a bank you get housing immediately, but pay the most; by joining a cooperative you get housing after the cumulative period and pay less than the loan; and the last option is opening by depositing and collecting the entire amount yourself, you get housing the latest, but the amount you need to give is the minimum of all options.
What can be said about the company itself, a very dubious organization, of course, it's up to everyone to decide for themselves, but after reading the reviews about the company here and on third-party sites (except for the sites of the company itself, there are of course 0 negative reviews), there is absolutely no desire to join.

We had a sad experience with the housing balance.
In August, my wife and I came for a group consultation.
Then we stayed for an individual consultation.
Svetlana Mikhailovna Tanakova conducted the conversation with us.
I have said several times that we had an apartment that we sold and were thinking about a house.
Svetlana described to us the ideal option for buying a house, taking into account the large down payment.
We were satisfied with all the calculations.
We have signed a contract.
Satisfied, with a dream of home, we went home.
The entrance fee has been paid.
A week later, they wanted to deposit a large amount of money, they called Svetlana to accompany the operation, but Julia already picked up the phone.
I told about my intentions and clarified about the contract, which was drawn up for some reason for a 2-room apartment in our city.
Svetlana said that this is a preliminary agreement and then it can be changed as you like closer to the transaction.
To replace housing, to replace the city....
Julia replied that the Housing balance could not buy a house in our city.
Just the apartment.
She offered to consider buying a house in Brest.
It is 240 km from our city)
The conversation did not work out, as Julia did not listen to my wishes and offered Brest.
Having stopped this meaningless conversation, I asked to terminate the contract, as the company had misled us.
Svetlana has apparently been working recently and does not know all the nuances yet.
It turns out that not everywhere the housing balance can buy a house in the Republic of Belarus.
It turns out that there is a list of cities.
Our city was not on the list
We just wasted our time and money on a trip to the office in Minsk.
Then a second time to terminate the contract.
No one was going to return the money immediately.
They promised to return half of it in an hour.
As soon as we started talking about the prosecutor's office, we brought in our lawyer, the Housing Balance in the person of Yulia called back and said that they would refund the entire amount that we had paid.
We did not ask for the cost of the road, paid parking at the office, or two days of lost time to be refunded.
It was only upon termination of the contract that the girl apologized for the whole company.
The money never came
I am completely disappointed with this company.

I do not advise apartment sellers to contact the Housing balance. We were selling an apartment, potential buyers asked for a deal through the Housing Balance. We agreed at first. And then, before the transaction, a "carousel" began, then on one day the transaction, then the Housing balance specialist cannot and on another day the transaction, then again the transfer to another week, etc., then she has already agreed on the registration of the transaction at the Gomel State Registration Agency and they sent the necessary requests to the RCC, but requests to the RCC missing. There is deception all around. And then the most interesting thing, the Housing balance specialist began to say, we will enter the nth amount into the contract, and after signing the contract, but before signing the act, we will go to the bank, you will cash out part of this amount and give it to potential buyers. We successfully refused a deal with such an "office"!

I want to thank you so much to Nadezhda, she initially gave me hope, after which this hope came true))) After communicating with the support, only pleasant emotions always remain. Keep it up.

I would like to express my gratitude to the Housing Balance cooperative for the opportunity to purchase their own housing. This is the case when an organization acts in the interests of people and helps them make their lives better. So it's my turn to check in and I'm very happy! The cumulative stage is left behind and now I will pay for the apartment, already living in it, which is very nice!
I would like to express my special gratitude to the employees of the cooperative: for their ability to answer exciting questions in an accessible way and for their patience when not everything was clear the first time.
I also want to express my special gratitude to Igor, the legal adviser, who accompanied my transaction, showed patience and was as involved as possible in the work on the transaction 🙏

Thanks to JB, I now live in my own apartment. Overpayments are less than in the bank, the staff are all responsive. If you understand their system well, then all doubts that it is mmm disappear. People who write that this is a pyramid scheme just don't want to dive in and figure out exactly how the JB works. The only thing that scares is the rise in inflation, but it's better than just giving money for rental housing

Guys, well, I was at the consultation, I'm generally satisfied.What looks like an oriflame, or there is a worn floor, it is in you (the reviewers) that your stuffiness speaks..no one owes you anything, and there are no freebies in this world.No one is pulling my hair to join.As for me, this is a real, acceptable option to solve the housing issue.All settlement issues can be solved individually, believe me, banks will withdraw three times as much..The best option with housing is to receive an inheritance from a billionaire uncle, or win the lottery..which is most likely a myth and a pleasant dream.In other cases, you will have to strain the rolls.The guys are good, we cooperate!

I attended the presentation of the housing balance.Without an initial payment, allegedly, but no, the accumulative system is the same as saving at home, you pay less, the queue is longer, i.e. if I make contributions figuratively for 900 rubles. then I will move in about a year, but! What prevents me from paying 1000 rubles. in the ban and settling in immediately, secondly, I was confused that I had to put money into their account to save up, it resembles a pyramid system.And finally, the amount that is in the bank, which is the same in total, has something to compare with.I do not deny that everything is competently built on brainwashing)

At the consultation, they tell everything in an accessible language. According to the terms, everything is quite transparent. I am glad that they do not impose anything, but on the contrary, they offer to consider various options, and then only make a decision. A great option for those who do not have a down payment. It will have to wait, but I think it's worth it.

I joined the Housing Balance cooperative, my check-in will be soon. The conditions in the cooperative are very favorable compared to a bank loan. I was consulted at the bank and the payment was more than 2000 rubles, which is a lot, and the payment in the cooperative is less than half. I also compared the overpayments (which is important to me) and was horrified. The overpayment in the bank is 110%, in the cooperative less than 30.

When signing a contract to join a cooperative, everyone is polite, but if you want to leave, the attitude is, to put it mildly, "not very", the feeling that they came to beg, and not for their money. Neither can answer normally where to go, the waiting time does not coincide at all with the stated one, although the recording was 2 weeks in advance, if anything. The document was signed and silently shown to the door🤷 Maybe it's good that we solved the housing issue on our own

Divorce. I can't describe everything anymore. Just the main points: there you buy an apartment not for money, but for "points" (I don't remember how they called this currency). You buy these points already for money and the rate of the score is set by them and according to some murky scheme. And when buying an apartment, the owner is not you (!), but they. Until you pay the full amount..

Overall a good system, but don't match your words and a little unfair.
You pay 5.3% of the amount that is added to your housing, not 5%. Also, in the same month, you receive 0.5% of the debt amount. The result is a 5.8% overpayment immediately after receiving housing. The most annoying thing for you will be if you make a deal in the last days of the month. You will pay 5.8%, and then another 0.5%. As a result, overpayments will amount to 6.3% in the first month.

Если бы не знакомые - не вступила бы, не внушаете доверия. Очень странные консультации (как у орифлейм). Офис, конечно, с ободранным полом тоже такое себе. И сначала мне показалось что по телефону со мной на «отвали» поговорили, дабы втюхать «общую консультацию», то и на личной не было дружеской атмосферы и доверия. Но, знакомые построили - и мы туда же. Еще неудобно что нельзя смотреть свои отчисления как на балансе телефона, очень неудобно что лиц.к. приходит на почту.

Не стоит лезть в это, переплата больше чем в 2 раза
Мне расписала так 3х комнатная квартира (108000бел.р.) на 15 лет без первоначального взноса в месяц 1350р, то есть 15(лет) умножаем на 12(месяцев в году) получаем 180месяцев получаем 243000 от заявленой 108000
Вот и вся математика, а куда идет переплата в 2.25 раза, можете узнать у их консультанта, но и тот складно и заучено выйдет из этого вопроса сухим

Интересный проект. На консультациях всё доступно рассказывают и объясняют что откуда берётся, как считается.
Во время общей консультации появились небольшие вопросы, ответы на которые смог получить лично у консультанта после общей консультации.
Небольшой уютный офис, что говорит о минимализации трат на аренду( что очень хорошо).
На МММ не похоже: все финансы подкреплены большой жилой площадью находящейся в общей собственности членов кооператива.
Накопить можно и самому, но при этом нужно где-то жить и платить за это, ЖБ даёт возможность приобретать жильё по цене съёмного жилья (да, во время периода накопления придётся ужаться финансово, но оно того стоит, ведь после периода накопления будете платить ту же сумму как за съёмное жильё, но уже за своё).
Самой большой проблемой остаётся несоразмерность доходов большей части населения и цены квадратного метро( особенно в Минске она очень высока), но это уже никак не проблема ЖБ.

Схема вроде рабочая. Порядка 13% переплат + 5% налог с стоимости квартиры, немного дороже чем в банке.
А сетевым маркетингом и пирамидой попахивает, потому что обшарпанный офис, продавцы на консультации выглядят и говорят какими то заученными фразами, как то вычурно что ли это все на фоне дешевого офиса. Поэтому доверия мало.
