Commercial mortgage refinancing or financing
Commercial mortgage refinancing lawyers have additional experience in dealing with issues specific to commercial transactions. The security documents for commercial mortgages are often more numerous and complex. Additionally, lenders are often protected with the addition of specific searches that are not done in residential loan situations.
Other non-mortgage refinancing loans
In addition, sometimes people do not use a mortgage to secure debt. The debt can be secured on the title to a property by way of an agreement charging land or a promissory note charging land. Often these loans come up with relatives or friends lending money to one another. They wish to protect their money by securing the debt on title. Occasionally, these loans exist as a part of a bridge or intern financing situation with a commercial lender. Our mortgage refinancing lawyers can assist with these types of security documents.
Construction mortgages
Construction financing is often done through construction mortgages. This is financing paid out in stages to build a new building on property. We register the mortgage on title, or titles, to secured the loan used for the construction mortgage. The lender sets out the specific stages when they advance funds. For example, stages include, completion of the foundation, lock up stage, after drywall completion, etc.. Clients negotiate these stages with their lender prior to our office receiving the mortgage instructions from the lender.
Private lenders
Lastly, as part of our mortgage refinancing legal services, we act for many private lenders. Our mortgage refinancing lawyers protect our private equity lending clients through proper security. This means drafting secure, enforceable mortgages to protect your loan. We also have a foreclosure team that can assist if a borrower does not pay.
In addition, we frequently act for people borrowing from a private lender. We never act for borrower and lender in a single private mortgage transaction. When acting for a borrower, we sometimes simple complete independent legal advice on the loan. Alternatively, we act to complete the entire financing.
