1. What Is the Mortgage NPL Market?
The Mortgage NPL Market comprises non-performing home and commercial property loans specifically, distinguished from other NPL categories by real-estate collateral backing the debt. Because the underlying property provides collateral value even if the borrower defaults, investors price mortgage NPLs partly on loan balance and partly on expected foreclosure-sale value. The market includes residential and commercial mortgage NPL property types, categorized by first-lien or other lien position. It covers banks divesting troubled mortgage portfolios. Banks and specialist mortgage-NPL investment funds are primary participants. The scope excludes the broader NPL market covering non-mortgage loan categories, and excludes the related consumer, corporate, and SME NPL markets.
