Mortgage of immovable property in Romania

Real estate attorney in Romania. Mortgage agreement in Romania

A mortgage of immovable property in Romania is a legal document through which the debtor guarantees an obligation, usually in the form of a loan, by offering an immovable property as security in favor of the creditor. However, it is important to note that the mortgage, whether it concerns a movable mortgage in Romania or an immovable mortgage in Romania, is constituted without dispossessing the grantor of the mortgaged immovable property or movable assets. This grants the beneficiary of such security a right of enforcement in Romania (the creditor can pursue and realize the asset even if it has been transferred by the grantor) and a right of preference over it (the claim of the mortgage creditor will be satisfied with priority over other claims of the debtor, such as those that are unsecured).

The object of the mortgage agreement in Romania consists of immovable property of any kind, such as land, buildings, or apartments.
