How borrowing works locally

A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent.

A shorter term raises each payment and lowers the total interest, which is the trade every schedule makes. A mortgage is registered against the property, which is what gives the lender its claim.
