Mortgages Past and Present
Mortgages aren?t what they used to be. And this is not a bad thing.
In the old days, a mortgage was a grim business, which can still be seen in the spelling of the word ? the French for ?dead pledge.? In the old days, a mortgage was a loan that put the house up for security. This was a bit of a risky business, because if you couldn?t repay the mortgage, you would lose your house.
If you?ve played Monopoly, you?ll be used to this kind of mortgage ? the kind where you take out a loan from the bank using the properties you own as security. And you try to pay that mortgage back as soon as possible! In Monopoly, if you have to take out a mortgage, it?s usually an indication of how the game?s going to finish: you are highly unlikely to win.
But we know that Monopoly is unrealistic. In real life, you don?t go to jail (do not pass Go, etc) at the whim of random chance and you do not have to stay in very expensive hotels if you don?t want to. And a mortgage in real life does not spell the end. More often, a mortgage spells the beginning.
A mortgage these days still connects property and loans, but it tends to be the other way around. Instead of taking out a mortgage using a property you already own as the security, a mortgage tends to be a loan you take out to buy a property you don?t own. For this reason, a mortgage is also called a home loan.
However, the property is still security for a mortgage these days. If you are unable to meet the payments required and the lender forecloses on your mortgage, then you will lose ownership of that property. While this is a traumatic experience, it?s not as devastating as a mortgage foreclosure of the old type where you could lose a property that?s been in the family for generations because your business venture went belly-up.
Taking out a mortgage is something people usually have to do when purchasing their first home. It is quite a landmark in a person?s life, and tends to signify maturity. This is because before a lender will allow you to take out a mortgage, they will want to see that you have a steady income of a sufficient level to meet the required payments. You will usually have to put down a deposit on the mortgage (e.g. 10% of the property?s value).
When you are taking out a mortgage, you will have to shop around somewhat, or use the services of a mortgage broker to find the best deal. A mortgage is a loan that accrues compound interest and the rate of interest can vary. Some mortgages have a fixed rate (e.g. 15% p.a.) and others have a floating or variable rate (which goes up and down depending on what the national economy is doing). Other mortgages have a capped rate of interest, where the interest can vary, but may not rise above a certain percentage.
When you take out a mortgage, you will be shown a schedule of repayments. This shows you how much you will repay weekly (or monthly), how long it will take you to pay back the mortgage plus interest, and how much interest you will be paying altogether. This schedule will be different for everyone, as it will vary according to the principal, the interest rate and how long you?ll be paying off the mortgage.
Taking out a mortgage requires the services of a lawyer. This is because the legal side of mortgages (who owns the property, what rights the debtor and creditor have) is a fiddly business (for historical reasons). For this reason, remember to include the lawyer?s fees in the principal.
