Foreclosure results in a loss for the lender and is obviously quite detrimental to the borrower; as a result, it is the last resort. Most of the time, lenders attempt to work with the borrower to come up with a better solution, such as extending the repayment period in order to lower payments. 2, record 1, English, - foreclosure

There is no doubt that under a common-law mortgage the debt did not become extinguished by a foreclosure order. As is well known the old mortgage, which has been known for hundreds of years, was a conveyance of the land to the mortgagee, subject to certain rights on the part of the mortgagor. If the mortgagor failed to pay according to the terms of the mortgage he lost his rights and the mortgagee became the absolute owner of the lands without more. 3, record 3, English, - common%2Dlaw%20mortgage

Ne pas confondre les termes «hypothèque en common law» et «hypothèque de common law». Le terme «hypothèque en common law» désigne l'hypothèque telle qu'elle était conçue par le régime de la common law, avant que les dispositions législatives ne la privent d'effet dans ses principaux attributs ou encore plus anciennement, avant que l'equity ne la modifie considérablement dans son essence. L'hypothèque en common law opérait le transfert du titre de propriété sous condition résolutoire, et le défaut par le débiteur de s'acquitter de ses obligations à la date prévue lui faisait perdre irrévocablement son titre. Le terme «hypothèque de common law» désigne l'hypothèque qui grève un titre en common law, par opposition à l'hypothèque qui grève un titre en equity. 2, record 3, French, - hypoth%C3%A8que%20en%20common%20law
