What is a mortgage?

A mortgage is a legal document that creates a security for a loan or other financial consideration, whereby, the registered vessel or share or a share of it is used as security. The person using the vessel as security and receiving the loan is called the mortgagor. The person taking the vessel as security and usually giving the loan is called the mortgagee. Only registered vessels can have mortgages recorded against them. For information on whether a registered vessel has a mortgage, please contact the Registrar at its Port of Registry. A certified or uncertified Transcript of Registry can also be requested from the port. For information on the appropriate fees, please refer to the Vessels Registry Fees Tariff. If the vessel has a name and a port written on the stern, it is a registered vessel. A mortgage is not permitted on licensed vessels. ... more

A mortgage is a loan that you borrow from a financial institution such as a building society in order to buy a property. The key point about a 'mortgage', as opposed to a personal loan for a car or holiday, is that it is secured against the property purchased. This means you could lose your home if you don't keep up the mortgage payments and why mortgage advertisements carry the warning: YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE. However, the whole purpose of share to buy is to increase affordability by joint purchase, NOT by over-stretching your individual repayments. ... more

What this means in layman terms is that a bank allows you to assume the ownership of a piece of property so long as you repay the cost of that property under a set of rates and terms as defined by the bank. A mortgage can be referred to in a variety of different ways. Some call the mortgage a “lien”, which is the amount of money a borrower owes on a property. Whatever is left over from the original loan amount is called the existing lien(s). Others might refer to the mortgage as a trust deed, or deed of trust, which is just the legal document that outlines the terms of the agreement. A bank, otherwise known as a lender will loan you a specific amount of money that will need to be repaid in “X” amount of years at “X” interest rate. Assuming you qualify, the bank will grant you a loan and you will go into contract with that bank and begin making regular monthly payments until your mortgage is paid in full. There are three main types of mortgage transactions: Purchase Rate and Term Refina ... more

Let’s assume the day has arrived that you’d like to buy a house. Chances are you don’t have enough cash in the bank to pay for it in full. Instead, like a car, you would probably prefer to put a small amount down, and make monthly payments on the rest. This is the purpose of a mortgage loan. A mortgage loan is procured by a buyer to pay off the seller of a piece of property in full. The buyer then owes the mortgage lender the total amount borrowed, plus interest and fees. As collateral or guarantee of payment, the lender of the mortgage holds the deed or ownership of said property, until the buyer pays the mortgage off. However, the buyer occupies the property as if it were already his or her own. There are several types of mortgage loans available, and which is best for a particular buyer depends on his or her financial situation and long term plans. Some people plan to stay in a house for thirty years; others make short-term investments to move up the real-estate ladder. Matching the ... more

A mortgage is a method of using property as security for the payment of a debt. Technically the term mortgage (from Law French, lit. "dead pledge") refers to the legal device used in securing the property, but it is also commonly used to refer to the debt secured by the mortgage. In most jurisdictions mortgages are strongly associated with loans secured on real estate rather than other property (such as ships) and in some cases only land may be mortgaged. Arranging a mortgage is seen as the standard method by which individuals or businesses can purchase residential or commercial real estate without the need to pay the full value immediately. ... more
