Mortgaged real estate can be sealed up by the court. In the course of litigation, the court seized the property under the defendant's name through judicial channels when the plaintiff filed an application for seizure. After the seizure, the property cannot be transferred or mortgaged, but it can still continue to live and use. After compulsory seizure, the defendant can still live in the house, but he can't transfer the house, which means that the rights of the house are restricted and can't be transferred or given to others.

What are the ways to buy and sell a mortgaged house?

1. Pay off the loan in advance. As long as the house pays off the loan, the owner can obtain the complete property right of the house. Therefore, the applicant can pay off the mortgage, cancel the mortgage registration, and then sell the house. You can also sign a sales contract with the buyer, and then go through the formalities of buying and selling second-hand houses after the owner pays off the loan;

2, for mortgage loans. This method is to change the mortgage registration of real estate and change the mortgagor from the landlord to the buyer. This kind of loan does not need to raise money to repay itself, so the pressure is less.

Legal basis: Article 27 of the Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on the Attachment, Seizure and Freezing of Property in Civil Execution by People's Courts.

If the people's court seals up or distrains the collateral set by the person subjected to execution in mortgage of maximum amount, it shall notify the mortgagee. The amount of creditor's rights secured by mortgage of the mortgagee shall not increase after receiving the notice from the people's court.

Although the people's court did not notify the mortgagee, but there is evidence to prove that the mortgagee knows the fact of attachment and seizure, the amount of creditor's rights secured by mortgage will not increase from the time when he knows the fact.

Article 28

For the property that has been sealed up, seized or frozen by the people's court, other people's courts may wait for the sealing up, seizure and freezing. If the seal-up, seizure or freezing is lifted, the first registered seal-up, seizure or freezing will take effect automatically.

Where other people's courts wait for the registration of registered property to be sealed up, seized or frozen, they shall notify the relevant registration authorities to assist in waiting for registration, and the people's court that implements the sealing up, seizure or freezing shall allow other people's courts to consult relevant documents and records.

Other people's courts waiting for the seizure, seizure or freezing of unregistered property shall make a written record, which shall be signed by the executor and the person subjected to execution of the seizure, seizure or freezing, or notify the people's court that implemented the seizure, seizure or freezing in writing.
