    I have heard Shaikh Ghamidi saying that mortgage is a higher purchase agreement, the bank buys the house and sells or rents it to you with a higher amount. Is it true? I thought that the bank lends you money to buy the house

    It’s actually a hire-purchase agreement. The terms of the loan are only for the house and the bank inspects the house before buying it. They’re not lending you money which you can use at your discretion – they’re in fact buying the house.

    There are some subtle differences though. In both – the higher purchase order and mortgage, the goods can be seized and sold by the Lender upon the Borrower’s failure to pay.

    In mortgage a first lien is the first to be paid when a borrower defaults and the property or asset was used as collateral for the debt. A first lien is paid before all other liens. A bank that holds the first mortgage on a property has the first lien.
