Estate |
|
Real estate or immovable property is a legal
term (in some jurisdictions) that encompasses land along with anything
permanently affixed to the land, such as buildings. Real estate (immovable
property) is often considered synonymous with real property (also
sometimes called realty), in contrast with personal property (also
sometimes called chattel or personalty). However, for technical purposes,
some people prefer to distinguish real estate, referring to the land and
fixtures themselves, from real property, referring to ownership rights
over real estate. The terms real estate and real property are used
primarily in common law, while civil law jurisdictions refer instead to
immovable property.
In recent years, many economists have not recognized that the lack of
effective real estate laws can be a significant barrier to investment in
many developing countries. In most societies, rich or poor, a
significant fraction of the total wealth is in the form of land and
buildings. In most advanced economies, the main source of capital used
by individuals and small companies to purchase and improve land and
buildings is mortgages -- bank loans for which the real property itself
constitutes collateral. Banks are willing to make such loans at
favorable rates in large part because if the borrower does not make
payments the lender can foreclose, that is, file a court action that
lets them take the property and sell it to get their money back. But in
many developing countries there is no effective means by which a lender
could foreclose, so the mortgage loan industry as such either does not
exist at all or is only available to members of privileged social
classes.
