The mortgage is a requirement considered effective by credit financial institutions, banks and savings banks, and it is mainly used by institutions for loans and credits, called mortgage for being the right guaranteed by actual mortgage, and whose great confidence has led to a considerable development of credit and favored territorial credit and, in many cases, the creation of the so-called real estate bubble.
The mortgage is a property law of warranty and value realization, which is to secure the performance of an obligation (usually payment of a loan or lending) in an asset (usually property) which, if the obligation is fulfilled, remains in power of its owner.
