Who is Computershare and why are they registered on title?

If you are using a non-bank lender for your mortgage, you may notice that your mortgage has been registered in the name of “Computershare Trust Company of Canada”.

When is an appraisal required?

In mortgage financing, appraisals are required to confirm the value as well as the condition of a property. Here are the most common scenarios where they could be required: Private sales Unique properties (log homes, mobile homes ext) Non-arms length transactions (ex between family members) Acreages and/or rural properties (or properties with large outbuildings or animals) Properties where there could be structural issues (ex MLS listings referring to "handyman special" ext") Refinances or renewals Conventional mortgages (or for those putting 20% or more down) Rental properties New construction  Some lenders will rebate the cost however you should budget to have the funds available. Most banks who "cover" the cost, simply charge it back to you at closing. As the mortgage lending landscape tightens, we have been seeing more requirements for appraisals so it is best to be prepared in case one is required. www.christinebuemann.ca
