Swedish term or phrase: inteckningar

Huset är värt 5 miljoner, men det belastas av inteckningar på över 4 miljoner.

If you could translate the whole phrase, that would be great. Thank you.
Sorry, I barely understand mortgages in English (my native tongue).

liens

Explanation:
Mortgage is a kind of lien, but there are other forms of liens that can be place in your house or property (for a start see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lien; if you don't want to do law school, ;-) !). Just like, inteckning has many forms, including panträtt (http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inteckning).

Here you see the benefits and limitations of Wikipedia and the complexity of this subject matter (for some background, see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortgage_law).

But your context will tell you if your house has only several mortgages (unlikely more than 2), or there is/are some other form of lien (claim) against its total value.
