Navigating Your Purchase Plus Improvements Mortgage

Consider the Purchase Plus Improvements Mortgage as a strategic approach to enhance your new home's value from the start. For illustration, imagine you're eyeing a property listed at $250,000. You've identified upgrades that would not only cater to your lifestyle but also boost the property's market value by $25,000, bringing the anticipated post-upgrade value to $275,000. With our program, you're eligible to secure additional funding of up to 10% of this updated value. This means you could access up to $27,500 ($275,000 x 10%) for renovations, seamlessly integrating this amount into your mortgage to streamline your financial planning.

Understanding the ins and outs of this mortgage type is key to a successful home purchase and renovation project:

  • Approval Process: Approval is based on the post-renovation property value, requiring detailed quotes from contractors upfront.
  • Funds Disbursement: Renovation funds are typically released after an inspection confirms the completion of the work.
  • Eligible Improvements: Not all renovations qualify; improvements must add value to the property and be affixed to the structure.

Preparing for Your Renovation Journey

  • Assess Your Needs: Identify which renovations are essential and how they align with your long-term goals for the property.
  • Choose the Right Contractors: Vet and select experienced contractors who can bring your vision to life within your budget and timeline.
  • Plan for Contingencies: Renovations can uncover unexpected issues; having a contingency budget is wise.

FAQ

Purchase Plus Improvements Mortgage FAQs - Enhancing Your Home's Value

What is a Purchase Plus Improvements Mortgage?
This mortgage type enables you to include renovation costs into your mortgage at the time of purchase, allowing for immediate home improvements to increase its value.
How much can I borrow for renovations?
You can typically borrow up to 10% of the post-renovation value of your home. For example, if your home's value after renovations is projected to be $330,000, you could be eligible to borrow up to $33,000 for improvements.
Do I receive funds directly for renovations?
No, the funds for renovations are not directly disbursed to you. Instead, they are held in trust by your lawyer and released upon completion of the renovations, as confirmed by an appraisal.
What renovations are eligible?
Eligible renovations often involve significant, structural changes like kitchen renovations or adding a suite. Minor or non-affixed upgrades, like purchasing new appliances, typically do not qualify.
How do I pay the contractor?
Since the renovation funds are released after the work is completed, you might need to cover initial costs or progress payments. Discuss with your mortgage broker for solutions on managing these payments.
What's the approval process?
Approval involves assessing the proposed improvements' impact on the home's value. You'll need detailed quotes from contractors for the lender and possibly CMHC approval.
Can I use this mortgage for any home?
This mortgage is suited for properties that require renovations to become your ideal home, making it perfect for homes that are almost what you're looking for but need some modifications.
What are the advantages over other financing methods?
Integrating renovation costs into your mortgage can be more cost-effective than using high-interest financing options like credit cards or personal loans.
Is a Purchase Plus Improvements Mortgage right for me?
If you're purchasing a home that needs renovations and you prefer to have a single, manageable mortgage payment, this could be an ideal solution.
What should I consider before applying?
Consider the scale of renovations, your ability to manage the renovation process, and the potential increase in home value. Planning and professional advice are key to making the most of this mortgage option.
