What Does It Consist Of?

A mortgage is a notarized document that formalizes an agreement where a bank provides a fixed amount of money to an individual, which must be repaid with interest through periodic payments over a set period. The borrower guarantees repayment by offering a property they own as collateral.

Types of Mortgage Procedures

Mortgages
Contracts where an individual guarantees a debt or obligation with a property, typically real estate. In case of default, the property may be auctioned to cover the debt. These contracts provide financing for various needs. Borrowers have the right to choose a notary for advice.
Mortgage Cancellations
The process of formally recording in the Land Registry that a mortgage debt has been satisfied, thus removing the encumbrance. This requires payment of applicable taxes and registration in the Land Registry.
Novations and Subrogations
Modifications to an existing mortgage, which may involve changes to borrowers, creditors, loan terms, principal, interest rates, or other conditions.
Pre-Transparency Material Acts
Notarial procedures related to consumer mortgages that allow the borrower to review and discuss mortgage terms with the notary calmly and without pressure. This service is free and involves only the client and the notary.
Dations in Payment
Agreements where a property is transferred in exchange for the cancellation of an existing debt, thereby releasing the former debtor.
