The basics

Private mortgages in Brampton - how they work

A private mortgage in Brampton is a real estate-secured loan from a private lender or mortgage investment corporation rather than a bank. Approval is based primarily on your property's equity and loan-to-value ratio, not your credit score or income documentation.
Brampton is one of the fastest-growing cities in Ontario with a diverse residential property market including detached homes, semi-detached homes, and townhouses across a wide range of price points. Brampton's scale and property activity mean a broad range of private lenders are active in the market.
Most private lenders will consider up to 75–80% loan-to-value on residential properties in major Ontario urban markets like Brampton. Your usable equity depends on your actual property value, mortgage balance, property type, title, documentation, and lender review - not on regional averages.

Who it's for

Who uses private mortgages in Brampton

Brampton homeowners who contact HB Mortgage Centre about private mortgages typically fall into these situations.

01

Bank or B lender declined a mortgage application or renewal

02

Credit challenges, consumer proposal, or past bankruptcy limits conventional options

03

Self-employed or incorporated income doesn't document the way banks require

04

Closing deadline approaching - conventional financing cannot move fast enough

05

Power of sale proceedings started - homeowner needs to pay out their lender

06

Spousal buyout or separation requires equity access conventional lending can't provide

07

Short-term bridge while rebuilding credit toward B lender or bank qualification

08

High combined LTV after refinancing options were exhausted

In each case, the property's equity is the key factor. Brampton's established residential neighbourhoods and high property activity attract a wide range of private lenders.

How it works

How a Brampton private mortgage is arranged

  1. 01

    Property and equity review

    We start with your property value and mortgage balance. The LTV is the primary qualification - we establish this number first before assessing which lenders are appropriate.

  2. 02

    Credit and file assessment

    We review your credit situation. This determines which private lenders are most suitable and how to present the file for the best available rate.

  3. 03

    Lender matching

    We identify private lenders active in the Brampton/Peel market whose criteria fit your specific combination of property type, LTV, and credit situation.

  4. 04

    Commitment and disclosure

    Before you commit to anything, you receive written disclosure of the rate, all fees, and total cost of borrowing - as required by FSRA.

  5. 05

    Legal closing and funding

    Your lawyer and the lender's lawyer handle registration. Straightforward files with complete documentation can move quickly.

Brampton property market context

Brampton's housing scale means more private lender options

Brampton is one of the most active residential property markets in the GTA. Private lenders follow property activity - more lenders compete for Brampton files, which generally means better rates and terms than less liquid markets. Your specific property type and location within Brampton still matters.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions - Private Mortgage Brampton

Can I get a private mortgage on a Brampton townhouse?+
Yes, in most cases. Townhouses in Brampton are among the more liquid property types in the GTA and generally attract a wide range of private lenders. Stacked townhouses or leasehold properties may have more limited options. Your specific property would be assessed as part of the file review.
Do private mortgage lenders in Brampton require a property appraisal?+
Most private lenders require a current appraisal from an approved appraiser to establish the property value for loan-to-value calculation. The appraisal fee is part of the total cost of the private mortgage.
How does a Brampton private mortgage compare to going to a B lender?+
B lenders still require income documentation, credit review, and stress test qualification - though with more flexibility than major banks. Private mortgage lenders focus primarily on property equity. Private mortgage rates and fees are generally higher than B lender rates. If you qualify for a B lender, that is almost always the lower-cost option.
How long does it take to get a private mortgage in Brampton?+
Timelines vary. Straightforward files with complete documentation, clean title, and a marketable Brampton property can often move faster than traditional bank files. Most private mortgage closings require at minimum the time needed for an appraisal, title search, and legal work. Timelines are not guaranteed.
What are the private mortgage rates available in Brampton?+
Private mortgage rates in Ontario typically range from 6–8% for first position and 9–12% for second position, as of May 2026. Your specific rate depends on loan-to-value, property type, credit, and exit strategy. Additional lender fees, broker fees (where applicable), and legal costs also apply.
