  • General Information Relating to Deferred Mortgage Payment Programs
    General Information relating to Deferred Mortgage Payment Programs 1. Deferred mortgage payments are discretionary. Lenders maintain the legal right to timely repayment of their mortgages and mortgage payment deferral programs are offered at their sole discretion and each lender has different policies on how they handle these requests. Note: These programs are generally restricted to ‘Institutional” lenders only. Private mortgages do not qualify. 2. No lender is going to forgive your mortgage payment. A deferred payment program allows you to roll a defined number of mortgage payments into your mortgage, however you are still expected to ultimately pay all of the money you owe, with interest. 3. True financial hardship must be demonstrated. These programs are for customers who are genuinely struggling to make their next mortgage payment. They may have lost their job(s) and/or a portion of their income, and they do not have the cash reserves necessary to draw on. If you are not in this group, you are not likely to be eligible. However, if you do make the decision to request a payment deferral, please be prepared to submit a detailed breakdown of your personal assets, current income and expenses. 4. If you do not currently fall into this distressed category, please do not call your lender at this time. Lender phone lines are overloaded right now with many of the calls being from customers who are worried but are not in a situation as per # 3 above. If you are still receiving your normal income and have enough money to make your next mortgage payment, please delay a call to your lender until you are in that situation.

    Navigating the Mortgage and Real Estate Market During COVID-19 Chris Allard - Mortgage Broker #M11001895 Address: 110-150 Isabella Street, Ottawa, ON, Canada, K1S 1V7 Direct: 613.324.2389 | Fax: 613.736.1765 | www.chrisallard.ca Everything You Need to Know About Mortgages, Deferrals, and Refinancing During the COVID-19 Pandemic Whether you’ve lost your job, are about to close on your first home, are considering buying or selling, or need to dip into your home equity for some extra cash flow, you may be feeling some anxiety right now in light of COVID-19. While the future can seem a bit uncertain at the moment, it’s important to remain calm and try to stay positive during this unprecedented time. Because in spite of concerning headlines about the state of the mortgage and real estate industry during this pandemic, real estate and mortgage transactions are still moving forward, just in a slightly different way. With that being said, there’s still a lot of confusion and questions being thrown around about everything from deferred payments to refinancing options. To help put your mind at ease, we’ll answer all these questions, and more so you can feel confident navigating the current climate and going forward with your next move. 2 I’ve lost my job due to COVID-19 and need to defer my mortgage payments. How does this work? As many Ontario businesses have been forced to shut their doors due to this virus, many Canadians have, unfortunately, found themselves without jobs. The good news is that all of Canada’s big banks and most financial institutions have stepped in to offer mortgage payment deferrals for up to six months.
