Czech mortgage glossary
Mortgage loan
A long-term loan secured by a lien on real estate. It mainly serves to finance the purchase, construction, or renovation of housing (purpose-bound mortgage). For non-purpose needs, an American mortgage exists. The term is usually 20–30 years; the interest rate is lower than consumer loans because the collateral reduces the bank's risk.
