Mortgage Glossary: Collateral security

Collateral security

This is extra security provided by a borrower to back up his/her intention to repay a loan.

Such security is likely to be documentation (deeds) giving right of title to property which the lender may take over and sell to repay the loan if the borrower does not keep up the mortgage payments.

Get professional help from a qualified independent mortgage advisor and see how much you could save on your mortgage payments. There's no obligation, just plain good advice.
