While other types of loans for personal or business purpose have a short-term repayment clause, commercial mortgages can be repaid over periods for up to 30 years. However, in case the person who obtains the loan doesn’t respect the terms stipulated in the contract (defaults on the loan or is confronted with arrears), then the lender is empowered to claim full rights of the property that was declared collateral in the contract.
