Private Lenders In BC, Why Use One?
Private Lenders in BC make it simple when conventional banks and credit unions must follow strict lending guidelines to approve mortgages. As a result, borrowers with poor credit, limited income history, or non-traditional income sources are often declined. When a borrower does not meet the minimum requirements of a traditional bank or B-lender, private mortgage lenders in British Columbia can provide a flexible and effective financing solution.
With that in mind, our lenders can be extremely helpful if you’re looking for:
- Bad Credit Mortgages
- Quick Closings
- Unique Situations / Special Circumstances Lending
Unlike traditional mortgages, private lending may approve 1st, 2nd & 3rd mortgage loan applications based on home equity rather than income situation or good credit. Our carefully selected private lenders can even approve mortgage loans up to 75% loan to value in major centers. As well as solving your real estate issues, private mortgages can payout tax arrears and other liens or issues that may prevent banks from approving your application.
Private Lenders BC Approval Process
Getting approved for a private mortgage loan is a lot faster than regular approvals for bank products. When working with our private lenders, approvals can be issued in as little as a few hours of getting an application. Traditional lenders take a longer time to approve you as they usually require more information, like credit rating or how the funds are going to be used.
When working with the right mortgage broker, appraisals generally take 24h to be done but can take up to 1 week to complete depending on your home’s location. Once the appraisal is done and all conditions have been met, our private lenders in BC will instruct their lawyers to draw up the paperwork. Lawyers can usually get this paperwork out to the client’s solicitor (lawyer or notary) within 48hr. Once you get into signing documents the file gets sent back to the lender’s solicitor for registration and release of funds. Every law firm works differently and if time is of great importance please make sure you take special note of this at the beginning of the process.
We also have some private lenders that will fund faster than others. But like with anything in life if you want/need things done faster it can be done but at a higher cost. Generally, the average funding time is between 5 to 10 business days.
