Procedures of forbearance and mortgage e

The Global Financial Crisis (2008-2013) was a paradigm shift for mortgage enforcement proceedings. Not only did it lead to significant changes in legislation to improve enforcement procedures in many jurisdictions, the crisis also revealed the importance of forbearance measures. Combined with growing attention at an international and EU level to the position of the homeowner-consumer, the topic of forbearance and mortgage enforcement proceedings offers an interesting study. This book contains the first post-Global Financial Crisis oversight of the existing legislation and regulation concerning forbearance and mortgage enforcement proceedings, combined with relevant data and a description of relevant socio-economic and financial aspects. Various experts from Europe, the USA, and South Africa describe the post-crisis systems of forbearance and mortgage enforcement proceedings in their jurisdiction. The series Vastgoed, Omgeving & Recht (Property, Environment & Law) focuses on exchange of knowledge and discussion between theory and practice in the field of real estate, environment and law in the broadest sense.
