What are mortgages?

When you and a lender enter into a mortgage, the lender is granted the power to seize your property if you are unable to pay back the loan amount plus interest. Mortgage loans are used to buy a property or to borrow money against the value of a home you currently own.

The three types of mortgage are -

  • Fixed-rate: The main benefit of a fixed-rate loan is that it protects the borrower from unexpected and potentially considerable increases in monthly mortgage payments if interest rates climb.
  • Conventional: A conventional mortgage loan is a "conforming" loan, which basically means that it fits Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac's requirements. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are government-sponsored firms that buy and sell mortgages to investors.
  • Standard adjustable rate: An adjustable-rate mortgage is a house loan with an interest rate that fluctuates dependent on market conditions.

In the given case the corporation liable for the past due amounts-

  • The corporation became individually accountable for the mortgage loan instalments by taking the mortgage.
  • In general, the lender-mortgagee has the option of pursuing the original mortgagor or a transferee who has assumed the mortgage obligation.
