What you should know
Put simply, a mortgage is a security interest in real property held by a lender as a security for a debt, usually a loan of money, owed by the registered owner of the property.
A mortgage in itself is not a debt, it is the lender’s security for a debt. It is a transfer of an interest in land (or the equivalent) from the owner to the mortgage lender, on the condition that this interest will be returned to the owner when the terms of the mortgage have been satisfied or performed.
In other words, the mortgage is a security for the loan that the lender (called “the mortgagee”) makes to the borrower (called the “mortgagor”).
Of course, most mortgages are held by the banks and other major financial institutions who prepare their documents “in house”.
