Here are some recent items related to mortgage law/regulation (mostly US-focused) that have been in the news/updates:
- California foreclosure-related protections (AB 2424): California signed a law that adds new mortgage borrower protections, including foreclosure notification and sale requirements for mortgage lenders, with an effective date of Jan 1, 2025.[1]
- California mortgage-forbearance legislation (Mortgage Forbearance Act): Reporting on recent state mortgage legislation notes California’s Mortgage Forbearance Act, signed Sept 22, 2025, with an immediate effect as an urgency statute.[5]
- Mortgage lending compliance changes (regulators/CFPB/industry compliance updates): A 2025 compliance roundup discusses how the CFPB and other regulators are shaping mortgage-lending expectations, including topics like loan originator compensation limits and potential shifts in interpretation of fair lending concepts.[2]
- Broader mortgage banking regulatory update (2026 newsletter coverage): A Ballard Spahr “Mortgage Banking Update” highlighted ongoing legal/regulatory developments affecting mortgage and consumer finance areas.[3]
Quick question (so I can narrow it down)
When you say “mortgage law,” do you mean UK law (England/Wales/Scotland/NI) or US law, and are you most interested in borrower protections, lender regulation/complaints, or foreclosure/repossession?
