Real estate and mortgages |
|
The term real estate is used to define the various things which are encompassed in land along with all the other things that are fixed to the land permanently. This includes all the aspects like the buildings and the other forms of property that are stationary and fixed to a particular location. The word real estate is also a legal term that is included in the jurisdiction of many countries like the U.S. The word real estate is often closely associated with the word real property. It is also called realty at times. Though it is in contrast, it is also associated with personal property and is often called chattel or personal property. There are situations in real estate where the word also refers to the land and other fixtures together. The real estate differs from the words real property in terms of the ownership of the rights and that of the land. Both the words real estate and real property are used mainly in the common law. The civil laws jurisdiction uses the same to define the immovable property. The past few years have made many of the economists realise the lack of the proper control in the real estate laws. These laws can act as a real barrier when it comes to the investment in the same in many of the developing countries. In most of the countries that are rich or poor the property including the buildings and other elements adds up to as a large part of the total wealth of the same. The most advanced of the economies the main sources of the capitals that most of the individuals and the other smaller companies use to purchase and also for improvising their lands and other buildings are the mortgage loans. This one of the loans options for which the real property itself constitutes the deposits. Most of the banks today are more than happy to give such favourable loans and rates in very large parts. In this option even if the borrower is not able to meet the payment demands the lender can then take the borrower to the court. The lender can foreclose and file a court action through which the bank will also allow the lender to take back the property. But in most of the developing countries there are no options for the lender to foreclose the same. Posted by subhasis on Wednesday Apr 16 reply Comments |
