A conventional mortgage or loan is a legal agreement by which a bank, building society, etc. lends money at interest in exchange for taking title of the debtor's property, with the condition that the conveyance of title becomes void upon the payment of the debt.
Unlike conventional mortgages and loans, Sharia based Home Financing do not involve interest charges and are based on joint ownership. The monthly payment one makes, increases his share in the property and includes a payment for the use of the share that the Bank owns. At the end of the finance term one will own the property outright.
