Grundschuld

(Land Charge)

The land charge or Grundschuld is a restriction imposed on a particular piece of land to secure the payment of a sum of money. It is entered in the land register to secure the creditor’s claim to repay a debt. In other words: you cannot sell the land without paying the mortgage.
