Home loan (8)
I believe the answer is:
mortgage
'home loan' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for mortgage that I've seen before include "Temporary conveyance of property as security against a loan" , "Home loan" , "Loan agreement for purchase of property" , "Transfer of property rights as security for a loan" , "Pledge as security" .)
