Understanding Mortgages
What is a Mortgage?
A mortgage is a type of loan where property or jewelry is used as collateral. This kind of loan, known as a mortgage loan, is commonly used in many countries for purposes such as buying a home or covering significant expenses like weddings.
How Mortgages Work
Mortgages can be obtained from banks or money lenders. The main parties involved are the lender (or creditor), the borrower (or debtor), and sometimes a legal representative. Lenders can be money lenders, insurers, banks, or financial institutions that provide funds in exchange for collateral.
The borrower, often referred to as the debtor or mortgagor, receives a loan amount equivalent to the value of the collateral. It's crucial for the borrower to meet all the requirements set by the lender, as failure to do so can result in foreclosure, where the lender takes possession of the property. Foreclosed properties are often available for purchase at reasonable prices.
Legal Considerations
Legal processes related to mortgages should always be conducted under the supervision of a lawyer. All terms, conditions, and involved amounts should be documented and signed by all parties to ensure clarity and legitimacy.
Nowadays, many Certified Financial Planners collaborate with Certified Mortgage Planners to offer mortgage loans to financially stable clients.
Additional Stakeholders
Aside from creditors and borrowers, legal representatives, government agencies, pension funds, and life insurers can also be involved in mortgage processes. Key terms include:
- Freehold: Ownership of land and property.
- Disbursements: Fees for services such as search fees, stamp duty, and land registration.
- Legal Charge: Document detailing the land or property ownership specifics.
- Conveyance: Transfers ownership of unregistered property.
- Sealing Fee: Paid when the lender relinquishes a claim on the land.
- Land Registration: Document detailing land and property ownership.
- Seasoned Mortgage: Regular payment-linked mortgage in the secondary market.
- Mortgage Deed: Document providing ownership details.
Types of Legal Mortgages
There are two main types of legal mortgages:
1. Mortgage by Legal Charge: The lender cannot sell the property but has legal possession; ownership details are recorded for security.
2. Mortgage by Demise: The lender becomes the property's legal owner until the loan is repaid. The lender can auction or sell the property if needed.
Understanding these fundamentals can help you navigate the complex landscape of mortgages more effectively.
