Rate context

What private mortgage rates reflect

Private rates are higher than bank rates for a reason: they price in more risk and a shorter term. The main things that move a private rate are your equity and loan-to-value, the property type and condition, the term, and the lender. Because these vary so much from file to file, a single "rate from X%" number rarely tells you what you would actually pay.
We do not post specific private rate numbers on this page unless they can be shown with a single current-as-of date and a named source. For current private mortgage pricing for your property and file, contact us and we will price it.

Your rate

What moves a private rate

Because every file is different, these are the main factors a lender weighs.

01

Your equity and loan-to-value.

02

The property type and its condition.

03

The term.

04

The lender and its current pricing.

Because these vary so much from file to file, the headline rate you see advertised is rarely the rate you would actually pay.

Full cost

Rates plus fees: the full cost

With a private mortgage, the interest rate is only part of the cost. There are usually fees too, which can include a lender fee and a broker fee, plus legal and appraisal costs. Where borrower-paid lender or broker fees apply, we disclose them to you in writing before you commit.

The point is simple. Judge a private mortgage on the total cost, rate plus fees, against the problem it solves and the exit it sets up. We do not promise a specific rate or cost; figures depend on your property, file, and the lender, and are subject to change and qualification. FSRA Brokerage #13449.

Our job is to match your file to a lender whose terms fit, and to structure the mortgage around a realistic exit so it is doing a defined job. We cannot promise a particular rate, because it depends on your property and file, but matching the right lender is exactly what we do.
