Mortgage
A mortgage is a method of using
property (real or personal) as
security for the payment of a
debt.The term mortgage (from
Law French, lit. dead pledge) refers to the legal device used for this purpose, but it is also commonly used to refer to the debt secured by the mortgage, the
mortgage loan. 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 and businesses can purchase residential and commercial real estate without the need to pay the full value immediately. See
mortgage loan for residential mortgage lending, and
commercial mortgage for lending against commercial property.
