CONVENTIONAL AND ISLAMIC MORTGAGE FINANCING (A LEGAL COMPARISON)

ABSTRACT
Home ownership has been a problem to many people in Nigeria. This is the more reason why efforts are being made from all quarters to alleviate this problem. The two most prominent of these efforts are the Home Financing Schemes, otherwise known as Mortgage Financing, which are made by the public corporations and private institution. The effort of the public corporations is known as Conventional Mortgage Financing while a part of the private institution is that of the Islamic Economic System known Islamic Mortgage Financing. The focus of this research study is to compare the legal frameworks of these two opposite mortgage financing schemes. This is to be able to balance the regulatory issues that generate from the acceptability of these schemes in other to avail the Muslims the understanding of opting for the scheme that best aligns with the demand of their faith, without necessarily transgressing the law of the land in any way, bearing in mind the nascent status of the Islamic option, which is yet to enjoy a focused/specific municipal legal attention.
