How borrowing works locally

A mortgage is registered against the property, which is what gives the lender its claim.

A lender is free to set its own price below the legal ceiling, and it does so according to the risk it reads in the file. Adding a co-signer puts a second file in front of the lender and adds a second person to the obligation.
