Loan for house in Norway = mortgage loan

A loan for house in Norway is a loan against a mortgage. In other words, a mortgage means that you take money plus interest (credit) from a bank, and a guarantee that the bank will get the money back is that you pledge your property, e.g. a house, flat or land.

A mortgage is usually seen as a loan to buy a house. In this case, the pledge is the flat or house purchased with the money received from the bank. However, this is only one, albeit the most common, type of mortgage.
