Explanation:
A Construction Loan Policy is issued to a lender making a construction loan secured by a mortgage on the parcel of land to be improved. The policy insures against the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien of the mortgage and against loss or damage should the priority of the mortgage be other than as shown in the policy. It is similar to the Loan Policy except that no mechanics' lien coverage is provided by the Construction Loan Policy, but instead by Endorsement "A" or Endorsement "D", depending on the facts of the situation.Endorsement "D" insures against lack of priority of the insured mortgage over mechanics' liens for labor or material furnished before or after the date of policy. This endorsement is designed to be used in those cases in which the mortgage has priority over mechanics' liens.
This form excludes liability for loss or damage by reason of the failure of the mortgagor to comply with or enforce the terms of any loan agreement which concerns the advancing of loan proceeds.
