E N D
Housing Finance: Housing finance is to provide funds which home-buyers need to purchase their homes. Foreclosure: Is the legal process by which a mortgage lender (mortgagee), or other lien holder obtains a termination of a mortgage borrower (mortgagor `s) equitable right of redemption, either by court order or by operation of law after following a specific statutory procedure.
TYPES OF FORECLOSURE 1) Foreclosure by judicial sale: Foreclosure by judicial sale more commonly known as judicial foreclosure means the sale of mortgage property under the supervision of court with the proceeds going first to satisfy the mortgage, the other lien holders and finally the mortgagor/borrower if any proceeds are left. 2) Foreclosure by Power of Sale: Foreclosure by power of sale also known as non-judicial foreclosure in which the power of sale clause is included in the mortgage deed and this process involves the sale of the property by the mortgage holder without court supervision. 3) Strict Foreclosure: Although it is not very common but as a kind of foreclosure, I would like to define what the strict foreclosure means. In strict foreclosure suit is brought by the mortgagee and if successful court orders the defaulter mortgagor to pay the mortgagee within a specified period of time and if the mortgagor fails to do so the mortgage holder gains the title to the property with no obligation to sell it.
LAW RELATING TO THE FORECLOSURE In Pakistan the right to foreclosure is defined under the head of rights and liabilities of mortgagee. The relevant section 77 of Transfer of Property Act 1882 says that the mortgagee has at any time after the mortgage money has become due to him and before a decree has been made for the redemption of the mortgaged property or the mortgage money has been paid or deposited, a right to obtain from the court a decree, that the mortgagor shall be absolutely debarred of his right to redeem the property or a decree that the property be sold, such a suit is called as a suit for foreclosure. Section 67 to 77 deal with the right and liabilities of the mortgagee just as section 60 to 66 have dealt with the rights & liabilities of the mortgagor. The mortgagees remedies by suit are : - 1) On the covenant 2) for sale 3) for foreclosure
MORTGAGE: Mortgage is a security interest in real property, held by lender as a security for debit. To be more specific, It is a transfer of interest in land from the owner, to the mortgage lender on the condition that this interest will be returned to the owner when the terms of mortgage had been satisfied or performed, as such, is a security for the loan that the lender makes to the borrower. The transferor is called “mortgager”, a transferee is called a “mortgagee”, the principle money loan is called mortgage money”, and the instrument by which the transfer is effected is called “mortgage deed”. Kinds of Mortgage: There are six kinds of mortgage a) Simple Mortgage b) Mortgage by Conditional Sale c) Usufructuary mortgage d) English Mortgage f) Equitable mortgage g) Anomalous mortgage
a) Simple Mortgage: A simple mortgage is a mortgage where without delivering possesion of the mortgage property, the mortgagor binds himself personally to pay the mortgage money and agrees expressly or impliedly that in the event of his failure to pay, the mortgagee shall have the right to cause the mortgage property to be sold and the proceeds of the sale to be applied. The period of limitation for filing of suit is twelve years from the date when the money suit becomes due. Registration of mortgage deed is required to make it enforceable under law. b) Mortgage by conditional sale: Is a mortgage where the mortgagor sells the property on the condition. That on default of payment of mortgage money on a certain date, sale shall become absolute. or on the condition that on such payment being made the sale shall become void. Or on condition that on such payment being made the buyer/mortgagee shall transfer the property to seller. Registration required.
c) Usufractuary Mortgage: In this kind of mortgage, the mortgagee is placed in possession and has a right to enjoy the rents and profit until the debt is paid. It is not necessary that mortgagee shall take physical possession and the mortgagor shall continue in possession as lessee of the mortgagee or he may direct the tenants to pay rent to the mortgagee. The title deeds remain with the owner/mortgager. The mortgagee retains possession until the mortgagee money is paid. Registration required. d) English Mortgage: Where the mortgagor binds himself to repay the mortgage money on a certain date and transfer the mortgage property to the mortgagee but subject to a condition that he will retransfer it to a mortgagor upon payment of the mortgage money as agreed .Registration required. e) Equitable Mortgage: Equitable mortgage can be created by deposit of title deed to a creditor with the intent to create a security.
