What is mortgage subrogation?
The subrogation of a mortgage consists in amending one or more of the parties to the agreement, for example if there is a change in the borrowers or a change in the financial institution or bank. There are three types:
Change of bank
This is what is known as a creditor subrogation. It consists in moving your mortgage from one bank to another. The reason is usually to improve the term, spread, etc.
