Equity-based lending options in Scarborough
We connect Scarborough homeowners with our network of licensed private and alternative lending partners. Approval is built on the equity in your home, not your credit score alone.
Why Scarborough homeowners look at private lending
Scarborough's detached and semi-detached housing stock has appreciated meaningfully over the last decade, leaving many long-time owners with strong equity even when household income has stayed flat.
Whether you've been turned down at the bank, you're self-employed, or you need to move quickly on a closing, equity is usually the most important factor. Most lending partners look for the combined balance of every mortgage that will sit on the property to land at roughly 75%–80% of the appraised value.
Common scenarios in Scarborough
- Refinancing a mortgage the bank won't renew
- Consolidating high-interest credit-card debt against home equity
- Stopping power of sale and reinstating a mortgage
- Bridging the gap between selling one home and closing another
- Funding a renovation that will increase the property's value
