Duty of the receiver

The equitable duty owed by a receiver to a mortgagor when selling a property is the same as that owed by the mortgagee to a mortgagor (see Silven Properties Limited v Royal Bank of Scotland). When exercising power of sale over mortgaged property, a mortgagee is under a general duty to take reasonable care to obtain the true market value of the mortgaged property at the time they choose to sell it (see Cuckmere Brick Co Ltd v Mutual Finance Ltd).
