FAQ
Rationale: A blanket loan is a loan that covers more than one property. They are commonly used in real estate development and often contain a release or partial release clause to release parcels from the loan in exchange for a specified reduction in the loan's principal balance.
Partial Release Clause is a provision under which the mortgagee agrees to release certain parcels from the lien of the blanket mortgage upon payment of a certain sum of money by the mortgagor. It's frequently found in tract development construction loans.
When a partial release of mortgage is granted, specific sections of the property in question will be removed from the collateral backing the debt. This can be particularly useful in scenarios where a borrower is attempting to sell a portion of their property still covered by the mortgage.
Most blanket mortgages come with a release clause. This clause frees up the borrower from the portion of the loan that's already been paid for. So when the borrower sells a piece of property covered under the loan, they can use these funds to purchase another property.
So normally with a blanket mortgage you will have what is called a partial release clause that allows each property to be released from the blanket mortgage as sold.
For instance, a lender may only have a 115-percent partial release mandate. This would mean that the owner of unit A would have to pay down the loan by 115 percent of the $42,000 or $48,300 if he or she wishes to sell off the property.
A partial release is a mortgage provision that allows some of the collateral to be released from a mortgage after the borrower pays a certain amount of the loan. Lenders require proof of payment, a survey map, appraisal, and a letter outlining the reason for the partial release.
