Full title Deeds & Title Deeds Available – What’s the difference?

Additionally, you can apply for a mortgage and use the property as a guarantee by providing the title deeds to the bank.

Additionally, you can apply for a mortgage and use the property as a guarantee by providing the title deeds to the bank.
