The answer

What the questioner mentioned is not correct. The usurious bank does not sell the house for a deferred price. Rather, it lends a sum to the person desiring accommodation to build a house, and demands that the borrower mortgage the land of the house with it. This scenario combines two contracts: a usurious loan contract, which is forbidden, and a mortgage contract, which is permissible. If they are inseparable, then it is not permissible to enter into them.
