<p>According to the official definition, the mortgage is a real right of guarantee that serves to protect the creditor against the danger of insolvency.</p>
<p> It attributes to the creditor the power to expropriate the assets covered by the guarantee, whether of the debtor or a third party, and to have the right of first refusal on the assets and on the sum obtained from the expropriation <em><strong>Australia</strong></em>. The mortgaged property remains in fact in the enjoyment of the owner who can continue to freely use it.</p>
<p> The mortgage is established through registration in public registers and, once the debt is extinguished, it too is extinguished. However, the <strong><a href="https://www.loanspal.com.au/2nd-mortgage.php">2nd mortgage loan</a></strong> is also characterized by the right of following, that is, if the debt is not paid off, it follows the asset on which it is burdened even when it changes owner. For this reason it is very important, before buying a house, to check through a specific expert opinion if the property is encumbered by a mortgage.</p>
