A Mortgage Extension Agreement is used when parties to an existing mortgage arrangement wish to extend its term beyond the original maturity date. This document type is particularly relevant in Hong Kong's dynamic property market, where mortgage refinancing and extensions are common practices. The agreement must comply with Hong Kong's property and banking regulations, including the Conveyancing and Property Ordinance (Cap. 219) and Banking Ordinance (Cap. 155). It's typically employed when borrowers require additional time to repay their mortgage, when market conditions make refinancing attractive, or when property values have changed significantly. The document includes crucial details about the extension period, any modified terms, confirmations of existing security arrangements, and updated representations from all parties. It requires proper execution and registration with the Hong Kong Land Registry to be legally effective.
