Mortgage?
A mortgage is a loan that’s used to purchase a property. The difference between a loan and a mortgage is that the mortgage is secured against the property being purchased. This means that the mortgage lender legally owns the property until the mortgage is fully paid off.
If you do not repay the mortgage the mortgage lender takes possession of the property. Mortgage terms generally range from five to 35 years.
