What is different about a mortgage in Alberta?

Limited recourse. Under Alberta's Law of Property Act, a lender's recourse on a conventional mortgage granted by an individual is generally limited to the home. If the home is worth less than the mortgage when the lender takes it, the lender cannot pursue you for the shortfall. The rule covers conventional mortgages, so ask whether yours is one.

Which three lenders serve Alberta?

What decides your mortgage rate in Alberta?

Your credit, income, down payment and the property. A lender prices each of them, so a bigger down payment or a stronger score lowers the rate. Every mortgage lender we work with is on the mortgages in Canada page.
