How to Make a Mortgage Inquiry?
Mortgage is the process of showing an immovable property as collateral against a loan. If you are considering buying a real estate property, finding out whether there is a mortgage on the property is a critical step to minimize risks in the transaction process.
What is a Mortgage?
A mortgage is the process of pledging real estate to secure a debt. For example, when you take out a mortgage loan, your property is secured by the bank until the debt is paid. If the payment is not made, the bank has the right to seize the property.

You can also make a mortgage inquiry by going to the land registry offices. You can find all mortgage details on the title deed here. Especially those who plan to buy property should not skip this step.
Mortgage Removal Process
If you want to remove the mortgage on an immovable property, you must first pay your debt in full. You can apply to the land registry office with the mortgage release letter you have received from the bank stating that you have paid your debt and have the mortgage removed. This process is usually completed on the same day.
