Section 20

A mortgagor, so long as his right to redeem subsists, may from time to time, at reasonable times, on his own request, and at his own cost, and on payment of the mortgagee’s cost and expenses in this behalf, inspect and make copies of or extracts from the documents of title relating to the mortgaged property in the custody or power of the mortgagee, including the mortgage deed.

This section shall apply only to mortgages made on or after 1 August 1886, and shall have effect notwithstanding any stipulation to the contrary.
