Recommendation and conclusion
A prominent feature of real property investment is that, it involves the expenditure of large sums if money. As a result, investors in real property hardly fund their projects alone instead they borrow part or all of their capital requirement form financial institutions. Lender usually require collateral securities form their borrower before granting loans to them. this provide an avenue through which loan made to borrower could be recovered in the event of unfavourable business condition or a default by the borrowers.
In mortgage transaction a person who borrows money with a property as security for the loan is know as a mortgage while mortgage is a person who lends money to another under the condition stated above.
The lest in respect of which the property is created is called mortgage lest.
Generally mortgage transaction involves the acquisition of a loan with an interest in property as security. The mortgage transfer his read property to the mortgage to declare his willingness to repay a loan and also provide means by which such loans could be indirectly recovered. The mortgage terms also empower the mortgage to reclaim his property after repaying his dest. Mortgage transaction arises due to lack of trust and uncertainties in the business world.
Mortgage is a Norman French term which originated form the various modes of operation of pledges (Walmsely p.56).
A destor in the olden days pledged his farm-land to a creditor by transferring the physical enjoyment to him if the revenue were large enough they repaid the loan immediately but if not the money for repayment had to be raised separately. The former arrangement was called a “phle pledge” (mortgage) while the late a “dead pledge” (mortgage thus the word “mortgage was formed form dead pledge”) (mortgage) which represent a situation where the preceded form a security property could not repay the loan borrowed. Resulting in a search for alternative mean through which repayment could be made.
As the practice of mortgage developed father, it because usual to transfer the destros land outright the creditor on the ground that the destors could redeem it if the debtor defaults the land automatically becomes the creditors. The principles is effective till date and maintain that the property serves as a security only and should therefore be released whenever the loan is repaid.
In Nigeria today there is large-scale default in mortgage repayment by mortgage due to the adverse economic circumstances. Lenders thus resort to auction sales of mortgage securities in order to cover their operating cost. This practice however is usually against the intention of most financial institutions in Nigeria because of the harsh picture it paints of such an establishment in the eyes of the society.
