FAQ
What is a mortgage deed and what does it do?
A mortgage deed records a lender's security interest in a property until the loan is repaid. It documents that the property serves as collateral, setting out the parties, the property, and the loan amount, and giving the lender rights if the borrower fails to repay the debt.
What information should a mortgage deed contain?
It should identify the lender and borrower, describe the property precisely, and state the loan amount and repayment terms. Include the date, any interest or conditions, and signature lines. Accurate property and party details are essential so the security interest is enforceable and properly recorded.
What is the difference between a mortgage deed and a promissory note?
A promissory note is the borrower's personal promise to repay the loan, while a mortgage deed pledges the property as security for that debt. The note creates the obligation to pay, and the deed gives the lender a claim on the property if payments are not made.
