    How are the proceeds from a foreclosure sale distributed?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    The proceeds from a foreclosure sale are used to settle the mortgagor�s debts in a specific order. First, all court fees and costs related to the sale and registration are deducted. Next, the outstanding mortgage debt is paid to the creditor. For granted residential land, any remaining balance is often used to provide alternative housing services for the beneficiary. For commercial land, any surplus after all fees and debts are settled is returned directly to the Mortgagor.
