A mortgage is a right over land granted to a lender in security for a loan. For this security to be of any value, it must give reasonably extensive powers to the Mortgagee (the lender). These powers are defined by s.101 Lpa (1925) and a number of other places. In outline, the mortgagee has a right

1. to take possession of the property (this follows from the definition of the mortgage as a form of lease) (see mortgagees power of possession)

1. to sell the property (see mortgagees power of sale)

1. to appoint a receiver (see mortgagees power to appoint receiver)

1. to foreclose (see Foreclosure).
