What are the costs involved in a private mortgage?

Property appraisal through an appraiser that is approved by the lender. In GTA, an appraisal costs approx. $300 – $500 for a residential house. The borrower is responsible to cover the cost at the time the appraisal is done. Do not pay for an appraisal until you have a lender committed or agreed to finance your deal.

Some lenders do not require an appraisal, but an inspection on the property.

Broker fee – the fee is deducted from the mortgage money advanced at the time of closing.
Lender fee – the fee is deducted from the proceeds of the mortgage.
Legal fees – the fee is deducted from the proceeds at the time of closing. The borrower is responsible for paying the legal fees for both yours and the lender’s lawyer. The lender’s lawyer prepares all the mortgage approval documents, and your lawyer will review and provide all the supportive documents to the lender’s lawyer.

When borrowing privately, make sure that you choose an independent legal representative or independent legal advise, to close your deal.
