Mr. Kofi Briggs has maintained a satisfactory account with your branch for a

period of 5 years. He is a mechanical engineer of 40 years old who runs a professional

office engaged in considering and contacting work for the Tema development

corporation, Tema, as well as for the private sector.

Today Mr. Briggs calls to discuss with you his housing mortgage loan matter under

your banks mortgage loan scheme for private house ownership. For the discussion he

had produced a contractor's estimate of the cost of a private house he plans to build.

The cost of the house was estimated at GH30million. He says he has been allocated a

plot of land at Tema and he has been given all the necessary documents. He is

applying for a mortgage loan of GH20million repayable within a period of 10 years.

He has in his house ownership savings account a total of GH16million, more than

the minimum savings required of beneficiaries under the scheme.

You are prepared to help him. Your bank takes a legal mortgage of the property

concerned.

Required: What are the documents you will require from Mr. Briggs and how will you

perfect your banks security.
