The term "mortgage" at least once heard almost every person. However, not all until the end understand its value and the difference from the classical loan, incl. consumer.
Mortgage - the history of the emergence
The term "mortgage" is one of the few concepts that have passed through time and firmly settled in modern language, while maintaining their lexical importance. Mortgage as a type of property-cash relationship takes its beginning during the times of ancient Greece (approximately in the VI century. BC). Previously, if it is impossible to return a cash loan, the borrower himself switched to the ownership of the lender, becoming so slave.
The transition from personal dependence to the property marked the appearance of a mortgage. Now, if it is impossible to pay the loan, the lender to the ownership of the borrower crossed the lender. At the same time, a special pillar was installed on the site, which in Greek sounds like Hypotheka (Mortgage). The presence of the structure said that the ownership is pledged.

If we are talking about the acquisition or construction of a house or apartment, the provision of funds provided by the Bank can act as acquired real estate and other immovable property of the borrower - residential building, apartment or room, garage or cottage, premises used for commercial activities.
If the period of insolvency of the borrower comes, the bank has the right to realize the laid property or arrange him in his property.
