Overview
Formally registering a real estate mortgage grants the financing entity priority over the property in case of debtor default, compared to other creditors who didn't register a similar mortgage, making correct registration an essential step, not merely a formality.
When more than one mortgage exists on the same property, registration order determines each creditor's priority in enforcing against the property, and we carefully review this order when assessing any party's position.
Regulatory Basis
Real estate mortgage falls under the Registered Real Estate Mortgage Law, which sets registration procedures, its effect, and the financing entity's right to enforce against the property upon default.
How We Handle Real Estate Mortgages
We draft the mortgage contract precisely reflecting the parties' agreement, then complete registration procedures with the competent authority to ensure its effectiveness against third parties.
Who Needs This Service
A company offering property as financing collateral that needs a mortgage contract drafted and registered protecting both parties' rights.
A financing entity that needs their priority ranking assessed among multiple mortgages registered on the same property.
We track cases where the financing party assumes that simply signing the mortgage contract is enough to protect their right, overlooking the need to complete formal registration procedures with the competent authority, an oversight that may render their mortgage unenforceable against another creditor who registered a later mortgage on the same property but moved faster to actually complete registration first.
Additional Considerations
This guarantee connects directly with the terms of the underlying bank financing it accompanies.
To confirm the property is free of other restrictions, reviewing the title deed under our real estate and property law service deserves equal attention before accepting any mortgage.
