    Who is responsible for paying fees to register a property mortgage?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Under Executive Council Resolution No. (30) of 2013, fees for registering mortgages, gifts, and debt conversions are generally paid by the person to whom the rights are transferred. In the case of a mortgage registration, this is usually the mortgagor (the owner/borrower), unless the parties have agreed otherwise. The fee for registering a mortgage contract is specifically set at 0.25% of the total mortgage (debt) value, making it a clear and predictable cost for property owners seeking financing.
