What Is a Mortgage Loan? How Does It Work?

What Is a Mortgage Loan? How Does It Work?

Living under one’s own roof is a dream come true for many Indians. For the bulk of Indian home buyers, getting a home loan is the final step towards buying a house.

If you’re contemplating homeownership and wondering how to get started, you’re in the right place. We’ll help you understand all the mortgage basics – from what is a mortgage loan to its workings and documentation requirements.

What does mortgage mean?

Before we dive in, let’s get some basic terminologies out of the way. First, what does ‘mortgage’ mean?

Simply put, a mortgage is a loan you can use to refinance or purchase a house. It’s also sometimes referred to as ‘mortgage loan.’ If you don’t have a substantial cash reserve for an upfront payment, a mortgage can help you fund your dream home.

How does mortgage finance work?

To understand how a mortgage works, you must know what collateral means. Collateral is any asset that you promise to a lender. Essentially, it offers lenders security in case a borrower defaults on their loan. Under such circumstances, lenders can liquidate the collateral to get their money back.

With a mortgage, you promise your home as collateral to the lender. The lender will hold your property until full repayment. Loan repayment is made through equated monthly instalments, or EMIs, the size of which depends on the loan amount, interest rate, and tenure. Mortgage tenures can go as high as 30 years.

Besides, you can repay the loan before the term is up. However, before you do so, check if the lender levies any pre-payment charges.
