Applying for a mortgage is made easy. Our partnerships make this possible.
Here’s a checklist of items your mortgage lender will ask you for:
Property Info
- The accepted agreement of purchase or sale
- Updated MLS listing with sold status and price
- The estimated expenses like heating costs, property tax and condo fee
- If you’re buying a rural or country home, well and septic certificates may also be needed
Identity Info:
- Full address (with postal code) of the property
- Name, address and telephone number of your solicitor/notary/lawyer
- Driver’s license, passport or other government-issued photo ID, SIN # (copy needed)
- Provide proof or confirmation of your down payment:
- Savings/investments statement from within the last 90 days
- Gift letter will be required if you are receiving compensation from a friend or relative for your down payment
- Copy of any other asset (liquid or other) such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds
- If you have recently sold another home remember to bring the sale agreement
- Confirm your current income and employment:
- Two or more of your most recent pay slips or pay stubs from your employer
- Formal letter of employment from your employer (may be required)
- Proof of any other income from all other sources (inheritance, freelance income)
- Copy of your T4 Tax form or T1 General
- Copy of your Notice of Assessment (NOA) from the last 2 years.
- The accepted Agreement of Purchase or Sale
- Copy of your recent mortgage statement and recent property tax bill/statement
- Current homeowner insurance policy
- A description of the property from the Purchase Agreement or Property Tax Statement
- You will require from your financial institution
- A void cheque or your financial institution to print out your bank account/transit number
- Tip: Bank or financial statements must always show your name, account number, and dates to be acceptable
This all seems like a lot but you will be guided through this process from start to finish
