Private mortgage guide for BC homeowners

A private mortgage can be a useful short-term tool, but it needs to be structured carefully.

What private mortgages are used for

Common uses include debt consolidation, payout of arrears, bridge financing, business cash flow, construction completion, estate or divorce timing, and refinancing after a bank decline.

Why the exit strategy matters

Private lending is usually short-term and higher cost. Before accepting terms, the borrower should understand how the mortgage will be repaid or refinanced.

What affects pricing

Pricing depends on lender risk, loan-to-value, position on title, property quality, location, credit, urgency, legal complexity, and documentation.

Next step

Start with a review of property value, existing mortgage balances, deadlines, and the specific problem being solved.
