Fixed-rate mortgages offer the security of knowing what you will pay for the length of the term (typically between six months to ten years), whereas variable-rate mortgages are tied to the prime lending rate.

As a first-time home buyer, you should spend the bulk of your time excited about your first property, not worrying about your mortgage. We help you secure finances so you can focus on the more important parts of the process.
Mortgage loan insurance is a legal requirement of loans with a Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio greater than 80%. It protects lenders against the risk of borrowers defaulting or foreclosing on the loan.
Conventional mortgages typically have Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratios of 80% or less and do not require mortgage loan insurance. They often have higher interest rates to offset the lack of insurance.
Based on your credit score and finances, a limited time estimate is given for the maximum amount a lender is likely to offer in a mortgage. Pre-qualifications are typically done at the start of the process to help you understand what you can afford and do not necessarily guarantee that the total amount of the funds will be received.
