Out dated and country specific
[edit]Interesting from a British and historic point of view, but otherwise very out of date! Here in Quebec the hypothec is alive and well, as it is in many other civilian jurisdictions. I will try and edit when I find the time. 70.80.27.104 02:14, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- How come the links to other languages generally land on pages that equate to Mortgage, rather than hypothec? Shalom S. (talk) 03:17, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
- In French and other latin languages at least, the term hypothèque, hypoteco, etc. which first and foremost designate a real right of guarantee, but in the common parlance can also designate a mortgage loan (formally called prêt hypothécaire in French, or "hypothec loan"), ie. a loan used to acquire real estate and which gives the creditor a right of guarantee (the hypothec) on it in case of defaulting.
- As for the articles, it appears to be complicated by the fact that the French wiki, for example, doest not really have an article on "Hypothèque", as it is a redirect to fr:Hypothèque en droit français (hypothec/mortgage law of France).--Nonztp (talk) 01:20, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
