What is a mortgage contingency?



A mortgage contingency is a stipulation that makes the sale dependent on the buyers' ability to obtain a loan commitment from a lender. If a commitment for loan cannot be obtained by the specified date, then the parties can either sign an extension to give the lender more time to approve the loan or withdraw from the purchase and the buyer's deposit is refunded.
