How borrowing works locally

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.

A mortgage is registered against the property, which is what gives the lender its claim. Interest on a line of credit accrues only on the drawn portion, not on the unused limit.
