We outline typical timelines and what to expect during the review to support smoother closing.

Definition and Explanation

A mortgage and lending review is a careful evaluation of loan terms, lender obligations, and potential gaps in disclosures that could affect your transaction.

Key Elements and Processes

Key Terms and Glossary

This glossary defines common terms used in mortgage and lending reviews to help you understand the documents involved.

Loan-to-Value (LTV)

LTV is the loan amount divided by the appraised property value, a factor in risk and rate.

The interest rate is the cost of borrowing, while APR includes interest and other financing charges over the loan term.

Escrow

Escrow is a neutral third party holding funds and documents until closing.

Due-On-Sale Clause

A due-on-sale clause requires the loan balance to be paid in full when the property is transferred.
