Mortgage options for separations

Going through a divorce or separation is a tough time, so adjusting your mortgage accordingly shouldn’t be. Several lenders have programs in place for this specific situation. They allow you to have access of up to 95% of the equity in your home to facilitate the buy-out of one partner and allow more room for debt consolidation. Refinances in Canada typically have a  maximum of 80% loan to value so this is a drastic increase to the available funds. With interest rates at all time lows, it is also a great time to wrap that high interest credit card debt into one low monthly payment.

If your house is valued at $250,000, your typical refinance will allow you access to $200,000. Under this program, you could have access of up to $237,500.

Here is what the lender will need:
·   Standard income confirmation documents
·   Finalized separation agreement
·   Offer to purchase (potentially)
·    Appraisal (potentially)

They have successfully provided this custodial service to many Canadian bank and non-bank lenders for many years and they play a very important role in the Government of Canada’s NHA Mortgage-Backed Securities Program.
