A mortgage is a loan specifically designed to finance the purchase of a property. It enables borrowers to obtain substantial funds needed for buying a home or property at comparatively low interest rates and with manageable repayment terms. To ensure you secure the most favourable terms, it is crucial to shop around and compare offers from different lenders. The property purchased with the mortgage serves as collateral for the loan. It is important to understand that if there are defaults in repayment, the lender has the legal right to repossess the property to recover the outstanding amount.
