How it's used
While this term is technically correct in formal documentation, most people in daily life simply refer to it as 供樓. Using the full four character term sounds like you are reading from a bank brochure or a news report. It is common to drop the word 貸款 and just say 按揭 when the context of borrowing money is already clear.
Examples
I would like to ask how to apply for a bank mortgage loan.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with renting a property, which is 租樓. Learners often mix up the act of paying off a loan with the act of paying rent, but 供樓 specifically implies you are the owner paying back a mortgage.
