Real security interest on registered land that allows the creditor to seize and sell the property in case of non-repayment of a debt. The mortgage is registered in the land register by the land registrar.
A mortgage allows a property owner to pledge their land as collateral to obtain a bank loan. If the loan is not repaid, the bank can have the land seized and sold.
Before any purchase, you must verify that there is no outstanding mortgage on the land. This verification is carried out with the Land Registry Office.
