Consequences of breaking the agreement
Only one party is needed to break an agreement connected with a mortgage loan. Sometimes there are cases where this happens just a few months after the documents are signed. This is of course an unusual situation. The agreement can be broken by the client or by the bank. Breaking it obliges the borrower to repay the previously agreed sum on different, accelerated terms. The previously agreed deadlines will no longer apply.
Let us look at this matter a little more closely. When can a mortgage loan agreement be terminated?
Termination of a mortgage loan by the bank – details
The bank may terminate a previously concluded agreement where the client fails to comply with the terms previously agreed, that is, does not pay the instalments by the due date. There may also be other reasons for such action, for example submitting forged documents or using the money obtained for an improper purpose. Are you unable to pay your instalments on time and want to avoid termination of the agreement? Be the first to contact the bank. You can then negotiate special terms that will help you deal with the problem. We recommend reading the documents you sign carefully. The mortgage loan agreement contains a provision specifying the notice period within which the bank may terminate the agreement with the client. If the period has not been specifically defined, the bank has 30 days to terminate it.

The bank may terminate the agreement in full or in part. It may also demand additional security for the repayment of the loan or the presentation of a recovery programme. If the bank withdraws from the agreement, the borrower is obliged to return the money together with interest for the period in which the loan was used.
