    Can a mortgage be placed on a building constructed on granted land?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Yes, the law allows for the pledging of income generated from real property constructed on Granted Commercial or Industrial Land. This pledge is made in favour of licensed banks or financial institutions and is exclusive of the land itself. In these cases, the pledgee manages the property and collects its income until the loan is repaid. The DLD records this pledge on the property�s registry folio to ensure the legal priority of the financing bank is recognised.
