Introduction

Mortgagee sales are thought of as risky transactions.
A mortgagee sale is a sale of property (an interest in land or personal property) and will contain the usual elements and issues that arise in any sale transaction; except for the added elements:

• That the mortgagor may not be a co-operative, or even an adversarial, participant in the mortgage sale process; and
• The mortgagee does not necessarily know a lot about the property for which it is about to exercise power of sale.

The purpose of this paper is to show by way of some examples that even in the most difficult circumstances a mortgagee sale can be completed and successfully – the measure of that being that the sale was settled and the best price reasonably obtainable at the time of sale was, without doubt, achieved.

The same approach will apply to other obstructions to completion of a mortgagee sale.
