Our verdict

Written and analysed by Smarter Loans Editorial Team · Reviewed by Rafael Rositsan

Best for
Ontario homeowners who need a small equity takeout that larger lenders will not write
Not for
Homeowners wanting the lowest available rate
What we like
  • + $15,000 minimum, the lowest entry point in the home equity pool
  • + Publishes the full 6 to 16% range rather than a floor alone
  • + Mortgage and home equity under one application
Where it could improve
  • − 6% floor and 16% ceiling sit well above the 4 to 5% mortgage market
  • − Ontario only
