The Process and Draw Mortgage pays out funds in phases over the duration of the construction process. The money is usually paid in four stages with the last amount paid on completion. Inspections will take place after each of the phases before the lender will pay the construction company.
This is a good option if you are building your own home and require incremental inflows of funds. Whilst the advantages of this type of mortgage are obvious, there are also disadvantages.
The Completion Mortgage only pays out once the construction has been completed. This type of mortgage is initiated by contract, normally with a small down payment. You may be permitted to pay the down payment in instalments.
Because it pays out on completion, you will be permitted to make changes to the contract up to thirty days before completion. This could come in handy because you may want to make changes to the plans that may require additional funding.
The danger of the completion mortgage is that things can change over time and something like a loss of income can result in the mortgage agreement being withdrawn. On the positive side lenders normally push builders to complete the work within one hundred and twenty days, and this type of mortgage is easier to obtain than the Process and Draw Mortgage as it carries less risk.
Construction Mortgages can be converted to a regular long-term mortgage after the construction is complete or the original contract may combine the two in a Construction to Permanent Loan. The latter ensures that you have only one closing cost.
Obtaining a mortgage for your Mississauga construction project can be trickier than for an existing home. Normally the completion mortgage is the easier route to go because the lenders have less risk since payment is only made once construction is complete.
If you are applying for a Process and Draw Mortgage you may have time restrictions placed on the project and you may not be free to choose your own builder.
Your Mortgage Broker in Mississauga will ensure that your mortgage application is smoothly and efficiently accomplished so that you get the mortgage that best suits your needs and that springs no nasty surprises.
