Land Law - Legal mortgages
A legal mortgage is one that is established in compliance with sections 1 and 2 of the Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1989 by following specific requirements. It must also be registered on the mortgagor’s title deeds,. This implies that until the debt is paid back in full, the mortgagee will have a legal interest in the land owned by the mortgagor. If the mortgage is not paid off in full, the mortgagor will not be allowed to sell the land or take any other action to get rid of it.
Example
Donna intends to purchase a property for £125,000 and plans to borrow £106,000 from the Tyne and Wear Building Society, thus issuing a mortgage to the lender. Her goal is to pay off the mortgage in ten years. In this case, how would a legitimate mortgage be created?
A legally enforceable agreement would need to be signed by Donna and the Tyne and Wear Building Society. Domba exemplifies this by signing a mortgage deed in accordance with s. 1 LP(MP)A 1989, which needs to be recorded with HM Land Registry. The conditions of the mortgage, as decided upon by the two parties, would be outlined in his mortgage agreement with the Tyne and Wear Building Society.
Dianna would then be able to sell the property before the agreed-upon ten-year period ends as long as he reimburses all of the
complete repayment of the outstanding loan balance, typically accomplished through the selling proceeds. The agreement would then be terminated, and the mortgage could be taken out of the title deeds.
The most popular method of establishing a mortgage is through a legal mortgage.
Naturally, unregistered land can have a legitimate mortgage created on it.
