A mortgage is a legally binding agreement between a home buyer and a lender that dictates a borrower's ability to pay off a loan. Every mortgage has an interest rate, a term length, and specific fees attached to it.

Written by Attorney Todd Carney .  Updated November 26, 2021

If you’re like most people who want to purchase a home, you’ll start by going to a bank or other lender to get a mortgage loan. Though you can choose your lender, after the mortgage loan is processed, your mortgage may be transferred to a different mortgage servicer . A transfer is also called an assignment of the mortgage. 

No matter what it’s called, this change of hands may also change who you’re supposed to make your house payments to and how the foreclosure process works if you default on your loan. That’s why if you’re a homeowner, it’s important to know how this process works. This article will provide an in-depth look at what an assignment of a mortgage entails and what impact it can have on homeownership.

Assignment of Mortgage – The Basics

When your original lender transfers your mortgage account and their interests in it to a new lender, that’s called an assignment of mortgage. To do this, your lender must use an assignment of mortgage document. This document ensures the loan is legally transferred to the new owner. It’s common for mortgage lenders to sell the mortgages to other lenders. Most lenders assign the mortgages they originate to other lenders or mortgage buyers.

Home Loan Documents

When you get a loan for a home or real estate, there will usually be two mortgage documents. The first is a mortgage or, less commonly, a deed of trust . The other is a promissory note. The mortgage or deed of trust will state that the mortgaged property provides the security interest for the loan. This basically means that your home is serving as collateral for the loan. It also gives the loan servicer the right to foreclose if you don’t make your monthly payments. The promissory note provides proof of the debt and your promise to pay it.

When a lender assigns your mortgage, your interests as the mortgagor are given to another mortgagee or servicer. Mortgages and deeds of trust are usually recorded in the county recorder’s office. This office also keeps a record of any transfers. When a mortgage is transferred so is the promissory note. The note will be endorsed or signed over to the loan’s new owner. In some situations, a note will be endorsed in blank, which turns it into a bearer instrument. This means whoever holds the note is the presumed owner.

Using MERS To Track Transfers

Banks have collectively established the Mortgage Electronic Registration System , Inc. (MERS), which keeps track of who owns which loans. With MERS, lenders are no longer required to do a separate assignment every time a loan is transferred. That’s because MERS keeps track of the transfers. It’s crucial for MERS to maintain a record of assignments and endorsements because these land records can tell who actually owns the debt and has a legal right to start the foreclosure process.

Assignment of Mortgage Requirements and Effects

The assignment of mortgage needs to include the following:

The original information regarding the mortgage. Alternatively, it can include the county recorder office’s identification numbers. 

The borrower’s name.

The mortgage loan’s original amount.

The date of the mortgage and when it was recorded.

Usually, there will also need to be a legal description of the real property the mortgage secures, but this is determined by state law and differs by state.

Notice Requirements

The original lender doesn’t need to provide notice to or get permission from the homeowner prior to assigning the mortgage. But the new lender (sometimes called the assignee) has to send the homeowner some form of notice of the loan assignment. The document will typically provide a disclaimer about who the new lender is, the lender’s contact information, and information about how to make your mortgage payment. You should make sure you have this information so you can avoid foreclosure.

Mortgage Terms

When an assignment occurs your loan is transferred, but the initial terms of your mortgage will stay the same. This means you’ll have the same interest rate, overall loan amount, monthly payment, and payment due date. If there are changes or adjustments to the escrow account, the new lender must do them under the terms of the original escrow agreement. The new lender can make some changes if you request them and the lender approves. For example, you may request your new lender to provide more payment methods.

Taxes and Insurance

If you have an escrow account and your mortgage is transferred, you may be worried about making sure your property taxes and homeowners insurance get paid. Though you can always verify the information, the original loan servicer is responsible for giving your local tax authority the new loan servicer’s address for tax billing purposes. The original lender is required to do this after the assignment is recorded. The servicer will also reach out to your property insurance company for this reason.  

If you’ve received notice that your mortgage loan has been assigned, it’s a good idea to reach out to your loan servicer and verify this information. Verifying that all your mortgage information is correct, that you know who to contact if you have questions about your mortgage, and that you know how to make payments to the new servicer will help you avoid being scammed or making payments incorrectly.

Let's Summarize…

In a mortgage assignment, your original lender or servicer transfers your mortgage account to another loan servicer. When this occurs, the original mortgagee or lender’s interests go to the next lender. Even if your mortgage gets transferred or assigned, your mortgage’s terms should remain the same. Your interest rate, loan amount, monthly payment, and payment schedule shouldn’t change. 

Your original lender isn’t required to notify you or get your permission prior to assigning your mortgage. But you should receive correspondence from the new lender after the assignment. It’s important to verify any change in assignment with your original loan servicer before you make your next mortgage payment, so you don’t fall victim to a scam.

assigning your mortgage protection is easy peasy text on images of squeezed lemons

If you’re on this here blog, I can assume a couple of things:

  • you’ve either bought or are buying a house and
  • you’ve either bought or are buying Mortgage Protection or Life Insurance because you have to.

I can also probably assume you’re a responsible adult – or at the very least, you’re very good at pretending, which as we all know: all the best people are.

Now, there is one thing you need to know.

This one thing is either coming to you too late, or just in the nick of time, depending on whether or not you now own a house.

The banks are great for mortgages, but they’re a rip off when it comes to Mortgage Protection Insurance in Ireland.

They’ll try to force you to buy their Mortgage Protection (a type of Life Insurance that will pay off the rest of your mortgage if you die) because:

  • It makes it harder for you to switch your mortgage (if the bank even mentions the words “block policy”, you should dive out the nearest window)
  • It’s more money for them, especially if they hoodwink you into adding Serious Illness Cover, which will go directly into their pockets even if you need it for medical bills!

You’re basically paying them so they can pay themselves if you die or get sick before you’re done paying off your mortgage.

Yes, it sucks.

No, there’s not a massive amount you can do about it except arm yourself with all the information you can.

Which is why I’m going to talk you through Mortgage Protection, buying it, and assigning it to your bank/lender.

How do you assign a mortgage life insurance policy?

  • Arrange your policy (through a broker preferably – scroll down to find out why)
  • Complete a Deed  of Assignment (it forms part of your legal pack that the bank sends to your solicitor)
  • Send the completed Notice of Assignment and your policy schedule to the bank
  • The bank sends the Notice of Assignment and the policy schedule to the insurer
  • The nsurer assigns your policy to the bank and sends a confirmation letter to the bank

And that’s it, fairly straightforward, ignore the bank if they try to spook you by saying it causes delays if you don’t buy from them. It doesn’t.

What is mortgage protection/life insurance for a mortgage?

As I said above: it’s a type of insurance that pays off the rest of your mortgage if you die. You have to get it if you’re buying a house. You can buy it from the insurer directly, your bank/lender, or a broker who will usually work with all the insurers.

You also have the option of using existing Life Insurance cover (for example, if you already have a policy) as your cover.

To make that crystal clear, your options are:

Mortgage lender/your bank:

  • Tied to the bank so they can only sell you their overpriced Mortgage Protection policy.
  • Your premium forms part of your mortgage repayments so it’s hard to see how much you’re paying for your policy.
  • It’s potentially a problem because: you should always shop around at all of the insurers to make sure you get a good deal.
  • You know how bankers get slated all the time for being more concerned with lining their own pockets? Yes. That. Think about it.
  • If you have a health issue and they can’t offer you cover, then you’re on your own.

Insurance brokers:

  • Will advise on policies from all the  providers to recommend the best deal for you.
  • You get all the information, so you actually know what you’re dealing with.
  • Heavily discounted premiums compared to the banks
  • If you have a health issue and one insurer can’t offer you cover, your broker can try elsewhere.
  • A sound bunch of lads
  • Can only sell their own policies, so you’re definitely not getting the best deal for you.
  • Probably shouldn’t do. Known for being occasionally nefarious, but you do you, boo.

An existing policy:

  • It’s a bit confusing but you can use an existing Life Insurance policy as your Mortgage Protection, presuming it’s equal to the value of your mortgage and runs for the same term – so if your mortgage is for 30 years and €200,000, your Life Insurance policy would need to match or exceed that (e.g. a 31 year, €201,000 policy works ; a 29 year, €199,000 policy doesn’t)
  • You have to assign the policy to your lender, if this is the case. Essentially, it’s you saying, “yes, I want to use my Life Insurance policy to pay off my mortgage.”
  • If there’s any moolah left over afterwards, it’ll go to your dependents.
  • You’re better off having both Mortgage Protection and Life Insurance because it’s two pay-outs, but if you’re strapped for the cash, or have had some health issues since you took it out, assigning an existing policy can be a solid shout.

If you’ve already bought your policy and are wondering about how to actually assign it, I get round to that in a second.

By the way, you can’t use life insurance that you have through work (death in service benefit) for a mortgage.

Is Mortgage Protection/Life Insurance different?

Yes. Mortgage Protection is a type of Life Insurance that only covers your mortgage to your lender. Life Insurance leaves a tax-free lump sum to your dependents. They could use it to pay for literally anything they want.

A $2,500 human-sized replica mask of your cat, for example .

Is it confusing? 100 percent.

Is it confusing on purpose? 100 per cent.

My two cents? Get Life Insurance and Mortgage Protection. It’s two pay-outs. It won’t break the bank monthly, but it could mean an awful lot to your family down the line.

Think of it like this: A Mortgage Protection payout gives your family a mortgage-free home. A Life Insurance payout gives your family a replacement income. They need both, so you need both.

Can you change your Mortgage Protection policy?

Yes. Any time you want. It could totally be worth it for a better price or benefits, so seriously: look into it. A few euro in the difference might not seem like much, but take that €5 a month and multiply it out by 12 and then by the length of your actual mortgage (which could be up to 35 years) and you’d be surprised how much it’ll add up to.

Just look at that fiver go. €5 x 12 x 35 = €2,100.

And that’s before we go anywhere near the difference you could save if you wanted to switch your actual mortgage down the line.

And don’t mind your bank if they say that getting Mortgage Protection or assigning an existing Life Insurance policy will delay your mortgage or that they’ll look more favourably on your application if you do what they want.

Remember: It’s all a

They’re trying to scare you into buying their overpriced policy.

Tell them where to go.

Because you already know where you can get the  best mortgage protection quotes .

Why do you need to assign a policy to a bank?

To make it legal.

Otherwise, it’s a bit like two young fellas swearing loyalty by spitting into a handshake. You telling your bank about your existing policy is grand and all, but if anything happens, they want the legal papers to say they get any payout.

Otherwise, all they’ve got is a spitty handshake and no cover.

How do you assign a Life Insurance policy to a bank/your lender?

It’s a bit like giving your bank a gift. You take out the policy and pay the premiums. When you die (no ‘ifs’ here, pal), your bank gets any pay-out.

To assign the policy (or policies if you have taken two single life policies) you need to complete a deed of assignment for each policy,

The deed is a legal document that forms part of your legal pack. It’s written in legalese, which means it’s completely impenetrable to normal people.

You can try reading it, but honestly, you’ll have as much luck taking another crack at Finnegans Wake. At least then you can sound cultured if you pretend you read Joyce’s gibberish.

You have to sign the deed of assignment.

Listen, it’s a bit like Apple’s terms and conditions; everyone ticks the box and nobody has a clue what they agreed to. Have you just sold your soul to a factory wherever iPhones are manufactured? Possibly.

But you’re still gonna have to do it.

The bit you sign is called the Notice of Assignment. You sign it and send it back to your bank along with your mortgage protection certificate.

The bank then sends it to the insurer and the insurer notes the bank as the legal owner of your policy.

Now, because the assignment is in effect a legal transaction, the banks don’t let us get involved so it’s up to them to send the necessary documents in a timely fashion to the insurer.

Once it’s with the insurer, we can chase it and give the insurer a bit of a prod if you’re in a rush but until then, our hands are tied.

*That’s how it usually works but each bank may do things differently.

What happens when the insurer receives the notice of assignment?

The insurer will assign your policy to the bank, so the bank becomes the owner of your policy and gets any pay-out.

Who notifies your bank that the policy has been assigned?

The insurer will send a confirmation of the assignment letter to the bank stating:

“Thank you for your recent Notice of Assignment in respect of the above-numbered policy. We have noted your interest and confirm that we hold no prior charge on this policy.”

Once the bank has confirmation of the assignment, they’re happy to issue your mortgage cheque.

How do I assign two life of another mortgage protection policies?

If you’re buying as a couple we recommend two single life policies to reduce any potential inheritance tax.

Assigning two policies works in the same way as assigning a single policy only you will have to complete a Deed of Assignment for each policy.

Is there a fee payable to assign a policy?

And just like that, you’ve assigned your policy.

Your TL;DR of tips, once more:

  • Don’t buy Mortgage Protection from your lender. You likely won’t be getting the best deal and it makes it a little trickier if you want to switch your mortgage down the line.
  • You can use an existing Life Insurance policy as your Mortgage Protection. However, you’re probably better off keeping them separate, as two policies = two pay-outs and an easier life for your family.
  • Mortgage Protection = covers your mortgage. Life Insurance = covers you.
  • If you’re bringing your own policy to the table, you’ll need to legally assign it to your bank by following the steps in this article. It’s basically you, your solicitor, your bank and insurer formally saying that the policy will pay-out your mortgage if you die.
  • Before you buy any policy, make sure you go with a reputable broker so that you know you’re actually getting the best deal.

That’s all, folks!

Mortgage Assignment Laws and Definition

(This may not be the same place you live)

  What is a Mortgage Assignment?

A mortgage is a legal agreement. Under this agreement, a bank or other lending institution provides a loan to an individual seeking to finance a home purchase. The lender is referred to as a creditor. The person who finances the home owes money to the bank, and is referred to as the debtor.

To make money, the bank charges interest on the loan. To ensure the debtor pays the loan, the bank takes a security interest in what the loan is financing — the home itself. If the buyer fails to pay the loan, the bank can take the property through a foreclosure proceeding.

There are two main documents involved in a mortgage agreement. The document setting the financial terms and conditions of repayment is known as the mortgage note. The bank is the owner of the note. The note is secured by the mortgage. This means if the debtor does not make payment on the note, the bank may foreclose on the home. 

The document describing the mortgaged property is called the mortgage agreement. In the mortgage agreement, the debtor agrees to make payments under the note, and agrees that if payment is not made, the bank may institute foreclosure proceedings and take the home as collateral .

An assignment of a mortgage refers to an assignment of the note and assignment of the mortgage agreement. Both the note and the mortgage can be assigned. To assign the note and mortgage is to transfer ownership of the note and mortgage. Once the note is assigned, the person to whom it is assigned, the assignee, can collect payment under the note. 

Assignment of the mortgage agreement occurs when the mortgagee (the bank or lender) transfers its rights under the agreement to another party. That party is referred to as the assignee, and receives the right to enforce the agreement’s terms against the assignor, or debtor (also called the “mortgagor”). 

What are the Requirements for Executing a Mortgage Assignment?

What are some of the benefits and drawbacks of mortgage assignments, are there any defenses to mortgage assignments, do i need to hire an attorney for help with a mortgage assignment.

For a mortgage to be validly assigned, the assignment document (the document formally assigning ownership from one person to another) must contain:

  • The current assignor name.
  • The name of the assignee.
  • The current borrower or borrowers’ names. 
  • A description of the mortgage, including date of execution of the mortgage agreement, the amount of the loan that remains, and a reference to where the mortgage was initially recorded. A mortgage is recorded in the office of a county clerk, in an index, typically bearing a volume or page number. The reference to where the mortgage was recorded should include the date of recording, volume, page number, and county of recording.
  • A description of the property. The description must be a legal description that unambiguously and completely describes the boundaries of the property.

There are several types of assignments of mortgage. These include a corrective assignment of mortgage, a corporate assignment of mortgage, and a mers assignment of mortgage. A corrective assignment corrects or amends a defect or mistake in the original assignment. A corporate assignment is an assignment of the mortgage from one corporation to another. 

A mers assignment involves the Mortgage Electronic Registration System (MERS). Mortgages often designate MERS as a nominee (agent for) the lender. When the lender assigns a mortgage to MERS, MERS does not actually receive ownership of the note or mortgage agreement. Instead, MERS tracks the mortgage as the mortgage is assigned from bank to bank. 

An advantage of a mortgage assignment is that the assignment permits buyers interested in purchasing a home, to do so without having to obtain a loan from a financial institution. The buyer, through an assignment from the current homeowner, assumes the rights and responsibilities under the mortgage. 

A disadvantage of a mortgage assignment is the consequences of failing to record it. Under most state laws, an entity seeking to institute foreclosure proceedings must record the assignment before it can do so. If a mortgage is not recorded, the judge will dismiss the foreclosure proceeding. 

Failure to observe mortgage assignment procedure can be used as a defense by a homeowner in a foreclosure proceeding. Before a bank can institute a foreclosure proceeding, the bank must record the assignment of the note. The bank must also be in actual possession of the note. 

If the bank fails to “produce the note,” that is, cannot demonstrate that the note was assigned to it, the bank cannot demonstrate it owns the note. Therefore, it lacks legal standing to commence a foreclosure proceeding.

If you need help with preparing an assignment of mortgage, you should contact a mortgage lawyer . An experienced mortgage lawyer near you can assist you with preparing and recording the document.

Deed of Assignment: Everything You Need to Know

A deed of assignment refers to a legal document that records the transfer of ownership of a real estate property from one party to another. 3 min read updated on January 01, 2024

Updated October 8,2020:

A deed of assignment refers to a legal document that records the transfer of ownership of a real estate property from one party to another. It states that a specific piece of property will belong to the assignee and no longer belong to the assignor starting from a specified date. In order to be valid, a deed of assignment must contain certain types of information and meet a number of requirements.

What Is an Assignment?

An assignment is similar to an outright transfer, but it is slightly different. It takes place when one of two parties who have entered into a contract decides to transfer all of his or her rights and obligations to a third party and completely remove himself or herself from the contract.

Also called the assignee, the third party effectively replaces the former contracting party and consequently assumes all of his or her rights and obligations. Unless it is stated in the original contract, both parties to the initial contract are typically required to express approval of an assignment before it can occur. When you sell a piece of property, you are making an assignment of it to the buyer through the paperwork you sign at closing.

What Is a Deed of Assignment?

A deed of assignment refers to a legal document that facilitates the legal transfer of ownership of real estate property. It is an important document that must be securely stored at all times, especially in the case of real estate.

In general, this document can be described as a document that is drafted and signed to promise or guarantee the transfer of ownership of a real estate property on a specified date. In other words, it serves as the evidence of the transfer of ownership of the property, with the stipulation that there is a certain timeframe in which actual ownership will begin.

The deed of assignment is the main document between the seller and buyer that proves ownership in favor of the seller. The party who is transferring his or her rights to the property is known as the “assignor,” while the party who is receiving the rights is called the “assignee.”

A deed of assignment is required in many different situations, the most common of which is the transfer of ownership of a property. For example, a developer of a new house has to sign a deed of assignment with a buyer, stating that the house will belong to him or her on a certain date. Nevertheless, the buyer may want to sell the house to someone else in the future, which will also require the signing of a deed of assignment.

This document is necessary because it serves as a temporary title deed in the event that the actual title deed for the house has not been issued. For every piece of property that will be sold before the issuance of a title deed, a deed of assignment will be required.

Requirements for a Deed of Assignment

In order to be legally enforceable, an absolute sale deed must provide a clear description of the property being transferred, such as its address or other information that distinguishes it from other properties. In addition, it must clearly identify the buyer and seller and state the date when the transfer will become legally effective, the purchase price, and other relevant information.

In today's real estate transactions, contracting parties usually use an ancillary real estate sale contract in an attempt to cram all the required information into a deed. Nonetheless, the information found in the contract must be referenced by the deed.

Information to Include in a Deed of Assignment

  • Names of parties to the agreement
  • Addresses of the parties and how they are binding on the parties' successors, friends, and other people who represent them in any capacity
  • History of the property being transferred, from the time it was first acquired to the time it is about to be sold
  • Agreed price of the property
  • Size and description of the property
  • Promises or covenants the parties will undertake to execute the deed

  • It makes it harder for you to switch your mortgage (if the slope even mentions the words “block policy”, you should dive out this nearest window)
  • It’s more money for them, especially if they hoodwink you into totaling Serious Ailment Cover, which will go directly into their pockets even if you demand it used medical bills!

You’re basically paying them therefore they can pay themselves if you die or retrieve medical before you’re done paying off your mortgage.

Yes, it sucre.

Into existing policy:

  • It’s a bit confusing but you can employ a existing Life Insurance policy as your Hypotheken Protection, presuming it’s identical to the set of your pawn or runs forward the identical term – so if your mortgaged is for 30 yearning and €200,000, your Living Insurance policy would need to match or exceed that (e.g. a 31 date, €201,000 policy works ; a 29 year, €199,000 policy doesn’t)

Mortgage Claims by Assignee Mortgagees: Evidencing the Right to the Mortgagee’s Remedies 02 September 2020

It has long been a known problem in mortgage law that s.114 of the Law of Property Act 1925, which automatically transfers the right to the mortgage debt when the mortgage is transferred by deed, does not apply to registered land. That has been clear since at least Paragon Finance Plc v Pender [2005] EWCA Civ 760 by reference to the Land Registration Act 1925. Thus, for registered land, the debt must be assigned separately . Pender, however, also makes clear that the registered proprietor of a legal charge has the right to possession, even if no right to the debt.

Despite these long-standing principles, mortgage cases brought by an assignee of the mortgage often face defences that they  are not  entitled to the relief they have sought. One solution, to produce the deed of assignment, can raise issues about redaction of non-relevant parts, when one deed transfers many mortgages.

Two recent cases discuss these issues. On procedure, the court has considered the more general question of when a party can redact parts of a document which the court is asked to construe on the basis that such parts are irrelevant. On substantive law, the courts have recently considered which documents are necessary to evidence an assignment of a debt secured by mortgage. In this paper, we consider issues of evidence in light of those cases and discuss the practical implications for practitioners, particularly in the context of mortgages.

Production of Documentary Evidence

The first part of this paper looks at redaction of documents in the context of disclosure.

Standard disclosure, under CPR 31, that is the production of documents on which a party relies or which may adversely affect or support a parties case, is an intrinsic part of the way civil ligation operates. Trials are not to be conducted by ambush thus each party must have an adequate opportunity to deal with the other side’s evidence fairly. That said, there are a number of rules of both law and procedure which can operate to prevent the production of relevant documents in a given case; litigation privilege is one obvious example. But what about the redaction of documents adduced as evidence by one party on the ground of confidentiality or irrelevance?

The practice of blanking out parts of documents is not a new one. Practitioners have routinely done so where part of the document is privileged or contains what they consider to be irrelevant material. In  GE Capital v Bankers Trust  [1995] 1 W.L.R. 172, CA, just before the introduction of the Civil Procedure Rules, Hoffmann LJ said:

“It has long been the practice that a party is entitled to seal up or cover up parts of a document which he claims to be irrelevant … In my view, the test for whether on discovery part of a document can be withheld on grounds of irrelevance is simply whether that part is irrelevant. The test for whether part can be withheld on grounds of privilege is simply whether that part is privileged. There is no additional requirement that the part must deal with an entirely different subject-matter from the rest.”

Redaction within the CPR has been discussed in the more recent case of Atos Consulting v Avis Plc [2007] EWHC 323 (TCC). In that case, Ramsey J gave guidance as to the correct judicial approach to be taken where the documents disclosed by one party were redacted and another party, by application, sought to challenge the redactions, either on the ground of lack of privilege or on the ground that the redacted text was relevant. At 37 the following 5 helpful principles as to redaction were outlined:

“(1)  The Court has to consider the evidence produced on the application.

(2)  If the Court is satisfied that the right to withhold inspection of a document is established by the evidence and there are no sufficient grounds for challenging the correctness of that asserted right, the Court will uphold the right.

(3)  If the Court is not satisfied that the right to withhold inspection is established because, for instance, the evidence does not establish a legal right to withhold inspection then the Court will order inspection of the documents.

(4)  If sufficient grounds are shown for challenging the correctness of the asserted right then the Court may order further evidence to be produced on oath or, if there is no other appropriate method of properly deciding whether the right to withhold inspection should be upheld, it may decide to inspect the documents.

(5)  If it decides to inspect then having inspected the documents it may invite representations.”

There is, however, a distinction between application to redaction of the rules which apply when a party is giving disclosure of documents in the ordinary course of litigation, and the separate question of the relevance of redaction in the process of construction of a document which a court has to embark upon when considering the meaning or legal effect of a document. Since the process of construction requires the document as a whole to be considered, the starting point must always be that the entire document should be made available to the court, and any redactions to it on grounds of irrelevance should either be forbidden or, if permitted at all, convincingly justified and kept to an absolute minimum. This situation, where the redacted document needs to be construed, is the precise issue raised in the recent Court of Appeal decision of Hancock v Promontoria (Chestnut) Ltd [2020] EWCA Civ 907.

Hancock v Promontoria (Chestnut) Ltd [2020] EWCA Civ 907

In Hancock, Promontoria Chestnut sought to recover the payment of an undisputed debt of approximately £4.09 million by serving a statutory demand. The debt represented the unsecured balance due under loans originally made to Mr Hancock by Clydesdale Bank PLC. Promontoria Chestnut claimed to have acquired title to the loans by assignment, and in the Statutory Demand, Promontoria Chestnut claimed to be entitled to all of the Bank’s rights by virtue of a deed of assignment.

Proceedings were brought by Mr Hancock to set aside the statutory demand. In them, Mr Hancock sought to challenge Promontoria Chestnut’s title to the debts on the basis that the copy of the Deed of Assignment, which Promontoria Chestnut had put in evidence, had been redacted heavily. Promontoria Chestnut’s solicitor had produced a witness statement explaining the reasons for the redactions, pointing in the main to the irrelevance of the materials redacted to the issue to be determined. However, Mr Hancock argued that the redacted deed of assignment was insufficient to prove Promontoria Chestnut’s title and its corresponding status as a lawful assignee. He said that part of the redactions related to the very clauses which the court was required to construe.

Notwithstanding the arguments of principle advanced, Mr Hancock was unable to produce any credible evidence casting doubt on the title of Promontoria Chestnut to the debts. The Court highlighted the fact that this was not a case where Promontoria Chestnut was required to prove its title to sue Mr Hancock and viewed in context, the redactions to the deed of assignment faded into relative insignificance. It was held that the unredacted parts of the deed were sufficient to show that title to Mr Hancock’s debts indeed had been assigned by the Bank to Promontoria Chestnut.

However, in reaching its decision the Court of Appeal considered the scope of the law on this issue of redaction more generally and the basis on which a party to proceedings could rely on redacted documents.

When Can Redacted Documents be Relied On?

It is settled law that a written contract has to be construed as a whole, in the light of admissible evidence of the relevant background facts (or surrounding circumstances) known to both parties at or before the time when the contract was made, but excluding evidence of prior negotiations. In Wood v Capita Insurance Services Ltd [2017] UKSC 24, [2017] AC 1173, per Lord Hodge JSC (with whose judgment the other members of the Supreme Court agreed) at [10], it was said:

“The court’s task is to ascertain the objective meaning of the language which the parties have chosen to express their agreement. It has long been accepted that this is not a literalist exercise focused solely on a parsing of the wording of the particular clause but that the court must consider the contract as a whole and, depending on the nature, formality and quality of drafting of the contract, give more or less weight to elements of the wider context in reaching its view as to that objective meaning.”

How can such a task can be properly undertaken by the court where part of the document has been redacted so that the court does not have before it the entirety of the relevant contract? Construction of a written document is a matter of law for the court, and questions of relevance require an evaluative judgment which it is for the court, not the solicitor of one of the parties, to perform. Thus, in Hancock , Mr Hancock argued that as a matter of principle, it was no answer to an objection to production of a redacted document only to say that the redactions were certified by an experienced solicitor as being irrelevant to the question which the court has to decide.

However, Mr Hancock’s submission that the court should simply refuse to engage with the construction of the deed of assignment in its redacted form because it is not in a position to construe it as a whole went too far. There could be no such rigid rule which admitted no exceptions. For example, there can be no reasonable objection to redaction, on the grounds of irrelevance, of the details of third party loan assets and title numbers in the schedule to the deed of assignment or the personal details of signatories and/or attesting witnesses. Those details were unlikely to have any bearing on the construction of the operative clauses of the Deed, particularly, in relation to the personal details of signatories and witnesses, where there was no issue in the case concerning its due execution.

However, even in such a clear case  a clear explanation must be provided of the nature and extent of the omissions, and the reasons for making them. Where it was obvious that the provisions in question would on any reasonable view be completely irrelevant to the issue of construction, and if the reasons for taking that view can be clearly and fully articulated by a solicitor acting for the party seeking the redaction, the court will be more inclined to accept that the redaction may be defensible.

In Hancock , it was held that, in general, irrelevance alone cannot be a proper ground for redaction of part of a document which the court is asked to construe, and there must be some additional feature, such as protection of privacy or confidentiality, relied upon to justify the redaction.

Conversely, however, it is seldom, if ever, that it would be appropriate for one party unilaterally to redact provisions in a contractual document which the court is being asked to construe, merely on grounds of confidentiality, where there is no irrelevance in the text redacted. Confidentiality alone cannot be a good reason for redacting an otherwise relevant provision in a contractual document which the court has to construe, and where there are other ways in which problems of that nature can be addressed, by allowing the unredacted document to be available to a ‘confidentiality ring’: the court and a limited number of the parties’ lawyers for example.

Thus, where a redacted document is to be construed, redactions, to be defensible, must be on the grounds of irrelevance and privacy, or irrelevance and confidentiality, not on one of irrelevance, privacy, or confidentiality alone.

The Emmanuel Decision

Just prior to the Court of Appeal decision in Hancock , the High Court (Marcus Smith J) had considered the issue of a redacted assignment of a mortgage in Promontoria (Oak) Limited v Nicholas Michael Emanuel and Nicola Jane Emanuel [2020] EWHC 104 (Ch) (“ Emanuel I ”) but in the different situation of the assignee mortgagee’s claim.

This case involved another company within the Promontoria group, Promontoria (Oak) Limited. Promontoria Oak brought possession proceedings against the defendants, Mr and Mrs Emanuel, owners of residential property in Cornwall charged as security for business loans to Clydesdale Bank. Promontoria sought possession and a money judgment as the assignee of the Bank, relying on a deed of assignment as evidence of the same.

Similar to the position in the Hancock case, in Emanuel, Promontoria put in evidence a significantly redacted version of the assignment, alleging that the redactions contained commercially sensitive material which had no bearing upon the existence and effectiveness of the assignment. Again as in the Hancock case, written notice of the assignment had been given to the Emanuels.

At first instance it was held that Promontoria Oak was entitled to possession of the property and a money judgment was given. The judge at first instance had made his decision with only a redacted version of the deed of assignment, plus some additional evidence, before him. This decision was appealed by the Emanuels on various grounds, including, as ground 1, that, as a matter of evidential rules, the judge had been wrong in exercising his discretion to admit the redacted version of the assignment into evidence. He could not be satisfied, as he had to be to allow the redacted version to be admitted, that the redacted passages were of confidential and irrelevant material because he could not be satisfied on the evidence that they were irrelevant.

This first ground of appeal was successful. The judge at first instance was wrong to admit the redacted assignment deed into evidence. He had failed to have regard to the implications of the evidence that was not before him, and ought to have seen the unredacted assignment. Marcus Smith J said that there was a significant probative difference between the primary evidence that was not before the court and the secondary evidence that was before the court. Even if the judge could conclude on the adduced evidence that the debt had been assigned, it did not follow that evidence not adduced, for example the redacted material, was irrelevant. The evidence not adduced could undermine the conclusion based on the adduced evidence. The judge had failed to pay proper regard to this important factor. 

This was in the context of some uncertainty in the correspondence with the Emanuels as to who, of various Promontoria entities, the assignee for this mortgage was to be. What was said in the correspondence did not sit easily with what the redacted assignment deed showed, and it was unclear that Promontoria Oak had had the mortgage assigned to it via a chain of assignments through the Promontoria entities. In saying that no other documents were needed to prove Promontoria Oaks title to commence proceedings he was simply wrong. He was thus wrong to conclude that the redacted material was irrelevant, and thus wrong to conclude that there was sufficient justification for redaction to allow the redacted assignment to be admitted into evidence. Promontoria Oak had not thus done enough to prove its claim.

What did the Court of Appeal in Hancock make of this earlier decision about redaction in Emanuel I? Since there was a pending application for permission to appeal in Emanuel I, it limited its comments. It did however make three observations.

First, it was noted that the High Court in Emanuel I had rejected grounds 2 and 3, that the redacted deed if admitted into evidence was not enough to prove Promontoria Oak’s title. Marcus Smith J concluded in Emnauel I  that the trial judge had clearly been entitled, on the redacted assignment adduced before him, to reach the conclusion that the mortgage and debt had been assigned to Promontoria Oak. Nevertheless, the appeal succeeded on ground 1, that there should have been no admission of the redacted assignment into evidence, as the trial judge’s decision to permit Promontoria Oak to rely on the redacted deed “was so flawed that it must be set aside”.

Secondly, there are significant differences between the facts in the Emanuel case and that of Hancock. Promontoria Oak had to establish its title to sue, as the claimant in Part 55 proceedings for possession and a money judgment. By contrast, Mr Hancock was seeking to set aside a statutory demand, and the burden was on him to show the existence of a substantial dispute. In addition, in Emanuel I, unlike in Hancock , there was little evidence from Promontoria Oak’s solicitors to explain the commercial background to the assignment, reasons for the redactions, and informing the court that he had inspected an unredacted version of the assignment so as to verify it’s irrelevance to the issues in dispute as there was in Hancock.

Finally, the parties to the litigation and the assignment relied upon in the two cases were of course different, though the Court of Appeal in Hancock noted that the redactions appeared to be rather similar.

In light of these key differences, the outcome of any Emmanuel I appeal is far from a forgone conclusion. Indeed the tone of the Court of Appeal’s commentary in Hancock does not suggest that those particular Justices of Appeal at least agreed with Marcus Smith J. It appears that they might happily have concluded that it was enough that the redacted assignment proved Promontoria Oak’s title. That does seem a likely more practical outcome. The Emanuels’ appeals do appear likely to be simply a delaying tactic.

Evidencing Assignment

A further aspect of the Hancock case related to the effect in law of the notice of the assignment from the Bank to Promontoria Chestnut, given to Mr Hancock. Section 136 of the Law of Property Act 1925 (“ LPA 1925 ”) provides that an absolute assignment by writing of any debt or thing in action, of which express notice in writing is given to the debtor, is effectual in law to pass and transfer the legal right to the debt, all legal and other remedies and the power to give a good discharge without the concurrence of the assignor.

Thus, in Hancock , if the deed of assignment did assign the benefit of Mr Hancock’s debts to the Bank to Promontoria Chestnut, then the giving of express written notice of that assignment to Mr Hancock would transfer the legal title to the debts, together with all remedies for them. There was no evidence in that case that the Bank had ever disputed the validity of the assignment to Promontoria Chestnut or that Mr Hancock had ever asked the Bank to confirm that it no longer had any claims against him in respect of the debts. Mr Hancock would be fully protected by section 136 if he were to make payment to Promontoria Chestnut because the effect of s.136 was to prevent the Bank making a separate claim for the debt. Because of s.136, Promontoria Chestnut could give good receipt for any payments of his debt that Mr Hancock made. In the context of his application to set aside Promontoria Chestnut’s statutory demand, Mr Hancock’s assertion that the debt was disputed on substantial grounds had a correspondingly hollow ring.

The operation of s.136 LPA 1925, and the contrast of its role in assignment of a debt to the role of registration of an assignment of a charge in passing a mortgagee’s proprietary rights, has also been given recent consideration by the High Court in yet another piece of Promontoria litigation, Promontoria (Oak) Limited v Nicholas Michael Emanuel and Nicola Jane Emanuel [2020] EWHC 563 (Ch) (“ Emanuel II ”).

In a hearing of the order to be made given the Emmanuel I decision, Promontoria Oak successfully argued that the first instance orders for possession and a money judgment should be upheld, despite its inability to rely on the redacted deed of assignment, but on the alternative ground that it had title to sue and recover possession in its capacity as registered proprietor of the legal charge granted by the Emanuels over their property.

Marcus Smith J agreed. He held that as the registered proprietor of charge on property, Promontoria Oak had title and therefore standing to claim possession. The claim based on the proprietary interest succeeded simply because of the company's registration of its assigned mortgage pursuant to the Land Registration Act 2002 (“ LRA 2002 ”). This is simply the Paragon Finance Plc v Pender [2005] EWCA Civ 760 point: the right to possession goes with registration of the legal owner of a legal charge.

What about the money claim? Under s.114 LPA 1925 a deed purporting to transfer a mortgage carries with it a right to sue for the mortgage money or any unpaid part of it. Yet s.114 does not apply to registered land. One must thus make a distinction between the remedies of an assignee of a mortgagee’s rights in its guise as registered proprietor, and reliance on the deed of assignment. Thus Promontoria Oak could not rely on the deed of assignment and s.136 LPA 1925 because there was no evidence as to the deed in evidence before the court. However it could succeed on its possession claim as registered proprietor of the charge over the Emanuels’ land.

Moreover, Marcus Smith J concluded, though without much detail in reasoning, that ‘by analogy with section 114’ and pursuant to s.51 LRA 2002, Promontoria Oak had a right to claim any outstanding debt as the holder of the proprietary interest, even though it could not rely on the deed of assignment to show assignment of the right to the debt. This appears to be a strengthening of the position. Post Paragon Finance it appeared that the debt had to be assigned separately in cases of registered land if a money claim was to succeed. Nevertheless the minimal reasoning on this issue in Emanuel II should be noted. Marcus Smith J made reference to s.51 LR 2002. However, unlike s.114 LPA 1925, s.51 LRA 2002 does not explicitly refer to the transfer of the right to sue.

This judgment in Emanuel II , however, is also subject to an outstanding application for permission to appeal. If permission is given, it will be useful to see what the Court of Appeal makes of the long vexed question of assignment of the mortgage debt and whether it is a result of registeration as legal owner of a mortgage despite the lack of application of the useful machinery of s.114 of the 1925 Act. If there is no equivalent of s.114, then the registered proprietor of a mortgage, who took as assignee of the charge, can require the debt secured, plus interest and costs, to be paid to it as a condition of redemption, since that is inherent in a mortgage. Yet that assignee may have to account to the original lender, and, subject to the decision in Emanuel II , may not be able to sue for the debt. An odd position.

Pending any such appeal, Emanuel II is a useful case outlining the law under the 2002 Act and what registration as proprietor of a charge necessarily carries with it. The result of the findings made by the court was that Promontoria Oak effectively sidestepped the issues concerning its redacted documents and achieved its aims via a different route.

The Practicalities

What evidence to adduce?

When a assignee of a mortgage is claiming possession, or the other clear proprietary remedies, sale or the appointment of a receiver, it need only plead its registered title to the charge and that is sufficient to establish its right. That has long been the case, since the decision in Paragon Finance v Pender . That is so even if its registration is a mistake, unless and until that registration is unwound by a claim for rectification of the Land Register.

What if a claim for a money judgment is sought? Though the common current practice is always to seek a money judgment with a possession claim, since the registered mortgagee is entitled to the debt, interest and costs, out of the proceeds of its sale, a money judgment might only be needed if a shortfall is feared, or clarity as to what is owed is sought before sale.

However, if a money judgment is sought, at present at least, pending any appeal of Emanuel II , registration as mortgagee it appears should suffice. By s.51 of the LRA 2002, any assignee once registered is entitled to make a claim for the debt.

When to redact?

What if an assignment of a mortgage is to be produced, for example if the mortgage is not registered, or if the Emanuel II decision is overturned? What should practice be on redaction?

Where documents are redacted it is important for the other side to be able to understand the basis for it, and for the disclosing party to provide an explanation. A witness statement ought to be produced explaining the background to the redacted document, reasons for the redactions and informing the court that the complete version had inspected so as to verify it’s irrelevance to the issues in dispute. It should be prepared in quite some detail, and redactions kept to a minimum. Thus, for example, in Hancock the redactions were said to be far more extensive than needed and the evidence provided by Promontoria Chestnut’s solicitor would have been of greater assistance to the court if he had condescended to greater detail about the specific reasons for particular redactions.

As for the redactions themselves, where part of a document is irrelevant but not confidential, then it might be simpler to disclose it in its entirety. Where the issue is one of confidentiality however, then the issue of redaction arises. If the document can be separated into distinct parts, where one is confidential and the other isn’t, it may be a straightforward process. For example, if a document attaches board minutes or a schedule of third-party transactions which are irrelevant to the litigation.

In some cases there will be real issues about the admissibility of a redacted version. In such cases, another approach will be needed, for example the use of a confidentiality ring within which the document could be made available in its unredacted form to the court and/or a limited number of lawyers on each side may offer a practical solution. Another approach might be for the parties to agree for the judge alone to see the document in its unredacted form.

Here's why a mortgage application might be denied — and what to do next

Being denied a mortgage doesn't have to end your dreams of homeownership..

thumbnail

With home prices still elevated and loan rates only starting to come down from the two-decade high they hit in October 2023, securing a mortgage can be hard. 

In 2022, 9.1% of mortgage applications were denied, according to the most recent data from the ​​Consumer Financial Protection Bureau , up from 8.3% in 2021. 

Lenders turn down mortgage applications for any number of reasons, from bad credit to a recent job change. It doesn't mean you have to throw in the towel on your dream of homeownership, though. Figuring out why you were denied and how to address the problem can improve your chances next time.

Below, CNBC Select outlines common reasons mortgage lenders turn down applicants and what to do if you've been rejected.

What we'll cover

Common reasons mortgage applications are denied.

  • What to do if your mortgage application is rejected
  • How long to wait before you reapply for a mortgage

Bottom line

Compare offers to find the best mortgage.

Lenders reject applicants for many reasons. Some are easier to rectify than others.

Bad credit or no credit

Lenders want to know that you can make regular mortgage payments and your credit history and score are the main clues they have about your ability to manage debt. They tell them how many creditors you have, how consistent you are about paying on time, and how long you've had credit, among other things. 

Read more: How to prime your credit before applying for a mortgage

A credit score of 620 is considered the threshold for a conventional mortgage, though some lenders will work with borrowers with scores as low as 500. You may also be turned down for a mortgage if you have a thin credit file or your credit history is too recent.

Insufficient income

Lenders may turn down an application if they simply decide you don't earn enough. They'll also consider your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio , which is the sumof all your monthly debts (like rent, student loans, car payments, credit card bills and alimony) divided by your monthly income before taxes.

A DTI of 35% or less will get you the best loan terms and a lower down payment, according to Rocket Mortgage , the largest mortgage lender in the US. A DTI of between 36% and 49% will usually still qualify you for a loan, according to Rocket Mortgage, "but [you] may encounter stricter requirements and less favorable terms."

A DTI of 50% or higher means at least half of your income is tied up in debt, which is considered  "potentially prohibitive" by lenders, according to Rocket Mortgage. 

Employment history

Mortgage lenders want to see a reliable source of income. Applicants are typically expected to have been at the same workplace for at least two years. A promotion or a better-paying job in the same industry may be acceptable, especially if you were at your last job for a while. Changing fields or taking a pay cut or a lesser role can be a red flag.

Recent credit card application

Applying for a line of credit not only lowers your credit score temporarily but, if you're approved, it lowers the age of your average account. Even if your credit score is high, a newly opened card can count against you.

What to do if your mortgage application is denied

Getting rejected hurts, but don't be discouraged. Finding out what went wrong and fixing it is the only way to get to "yes."

Ask why you were turned down

Ask your loan officer why you were turned down. According to the  Equal Credit Opportunity Act , borrowers have the right to know why they were rejected if they ask within 60 days of being turned down.

The creditor must provide a letter citing the specific reason, according to the Federal Trade Commission , "for example, 'your income was too low' or 'you haven't been employed long enough.'" They must also tell you which credit reporting agency provided the information.

The lender might also have information about alternative funding options, like an FHA, USDA or VA loan .

Shop around for another mortgage

Just because you were turned down doesn’t mean there are no other loans available to you. If you were rejected because of bad credit , Rocket Mortgage considers applications from borrowers with scores as low as 580.   In addition to a standard 15- or 30-year mortgage, Rocket offers a customizable fixed-rate loan with a term from eight to 29 years.

Improve your credit

If your credit score kept you from getting a mortgage, stop your home search and focus on improving your credit.

  • Make on-time payments. If you can, pay the full balance of your credit cards each month. It will improve your payment history and lower your credit utilization ratio.
  • Get your credit utilization ratio down to 30%. Some financial experts suggest getting your ratio below 10% if you want the best rate.
  • Avoid opening new credit cards for 12 months. It temporarily dings your credit score and lowers your average account age.

If you need more help priming your credit, *Experian Boost is a free service that can improve your credit score by linking on-time payments to your wireless company and other bills not usually reported to the three credit reporting agencies. 

It only influences your score with Experian, however, and won’t help if a lender requests a credit report from Equifax or TransUnion.

  • Receive an updated  FICO® Score

If you have a thin credit file , you can work on building your credit history with a secured credit card .

Get help with the down payment

If you were turned down because your down payment was too small, Ally Bank ’s HomeReady mortgage enables approved borrowers to put down as little as 3%. (There are income restrictions and applicants must have a debt-to-income ratio of less than 50%.)

Apply online for personalized rates; fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages included

Conventional loans, HomeReady loan and Jumbo loans

3% if moving forward with a HomeReady loan

You could also pause the mortgage process and focus on beefing up your savings for a bigger down payment. A high-yield savings account (HYSA) with Western Alliance Bank has one of the highest annual percentage yields on the market and only requires a $1 opening deposit. 

Western Alliance Bank Savings Account

Private and governmental programs also provide grants and specialized home loans, especially for first-time buyers. 

  • New York City’s HomeFirst Down Payment Assistance Program provides grants of up to $100,000 for eligible residents. 
  • California’s Dream For All Shared Appreciation loan provides qualified residents who make no more than 120% of the area median income with up to $150,000 in down payment and closing costs. 
  • Bank of America will give qualified first-time homebuyers in select states a down payment grant of up to $10,000 and up to $7,500 toward closing costs.

Get a co-signer

You might want to consider asking a parent or someone else with good credit and sufficient income if they would co-sign a home loan with you.

This isn't a casual request: Your co-signer should understand they would be held responsible for the debt should you miss payments or default.

How long to wait before you apply again

There's no set answer about how long to wait after you've been turned down for a mortgage to try again. It depends on why you were rejected. The important thing is to address whatever that reason was.

No matter the cause, your credit score took a hit when the mortgage provider ran a credit check on your application. At the very least, wait a few months until that strike clears before applying again.

Being turned down for a mortgage loan doesn't mean you'll never get your dream home. But if you are denied, it's important to figure out why and correct those issues to improve your chances the next time.

TVEL Fuel Company of ROSATOM has started gradual localization of rare-earth magnets manufacturing for wind power plants generators. The first sets of magnets have been manufactured and shipped to the customer.

In total, the contract between Elemash Magnit LLC (an enterprise of TVEL Fuel Company of ROSATOM in Elektrostal, Moscow region) and Red Wind B.V. (a joint venture of NovaWind JSC and the Dutch company Lagerwey) foresees manufacturing and supply over 200 sets of magnets. One set is designed to produce one power generator.

“The project includes gradual localization of magnets manufacturing in Russia, decreasing dependence on imports. We consider production of magnets as a promising sector for TVEL’s metallurgical business development. In this regard, our company does have the relevant research and technological expertise for creation of Russia’s first large-scale full cycle production of permanent rare-earth magnets,” commented Natalia Nikipelova, President of TVEL JSC.

“NovaWind, as the nuclear industry integrator for wind power projects, not only made-up an efficient supply chain, but also contributed to the development of inter-divisional cooperation and new expertise of ROSATOM enterprises. TVEL has mastered a unique technology for the production of magnets for wind turbine generators. These technologies will be undoubtedly in demand in other areas as well,” noted Alexander Korchagin, Director General of NovaWind JSC.
