Foreclosure in Housing Finance and Legal Documentation
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.
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 mortgage, 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 position 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.
i)
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.

intent to create a security.In such motgage,the mortgager delivers the tittle
documents of the property to the mortgagee with the intention to create security
thereon.
