What is a Mortgage?

What is Mortgage? Mortgage is also known as a debt instrument that is done by giving mortgage rights from the borrower to the lender as collateral for debt payment obligations. In a mortgage, the borrower can still use or utilize the property. Later, if the debt or obligation has been paid in full then the dependents on the property will be canceled.

Mortgage to buy property

Mortgages are usually used by someone or business people to buy property when they don’t have enough money. The purchase value of the property does not need to be paid in full. In return, the borrower must pay off the debt for a certain period which is usually years plus interest on the loan. If the debt is paid off, then the borrower will be free and the property can be taken back entirely.

Mortgage as a claim on property

Because a mortgage is also included as a right or claim on property, when borrowing money, the borrower will use the property as collateral. That is, if the borrower fails to repay his debt or stop paying the mortgage, the lender may confiscate the property which is used as collateral
