Frequently Asked Questions

Find the answers to questions our mortgage agents are asked most.

What is a mortgage?

A mortgage is a loan that's designed to finance the purchase of a residential or commercial property. The property itself acts as the collateral for your mortgage loan.

What's a pre-approved mortgage?

A pre-approved mortgage guarantees your interest rate before you actually accept the loan. Pre-approval typically gives you better-negotiating power when you're ready to purchase a property as it makes you a more attractive buyer.

What's the minimum down-payment required on a home purchase in Ottawa?

In most cases, a minimum down-payment of 5% is required; however, a higher down-payment will net you a lower monthly and may give you the opportunity to avoid CMHC mortgage fees.

Why should I work with a mortgage broker?

Mortgage brokers have access to lenders throughout Ottawa, and even across Canada. Because they're not connected with a particular lender, they've got the power to find and negotiate a mortgage with the best interest rates. And best of all, mortgage brokers are paid by lenders, which means that partnering with Chris Allard Mortgage Team won't cost you a thing.
