How the lowest rate guarantee works:

In order to qualify for the lowest rate guarantee, all following steps must be verified:

  • Client must have “A” credit, with a minimum beacon score of 700. Learn more about this here
  • The mortgage must be considered a High Ratio or Low Ratio, insured mortgage.  Meaning,  the cash down for the purchase must be 19.99% or less. If cash down is great then 20%, the low rate guarantee may be subject to an insurance premium.

  • Once we have quoted you our rate, you have 7 days to shop other banks and lenders.
  • If you find a lower rate on a similar* fixed rate mortgage, we’ll beat it.

    * A similar mortgage must be for the same property, term, and loan amount with the same or lower closing costs.

  • The hmcf.ca fixed rate secured can not be considered a competitive rate during the 7 day period.  Our low rate guarantee excludes all adjustable rates, and no frills mortgages, along with all subordinated-lien loans.
  • To receive a competitive rate adjustment, send us a copy of the competitor’s good faith estimate and documentation of the property, rate, term, loan amount and closing costs. Documentation must be dated the same or no more than seven days later than the original hmcf.ca mortgage application. Good faith estimate or approvals and other documentation must be received by hmcf.ca within seven days of your original hmcf.ca mortgage application.
  • Pre-Approvals are not permitted.  Although we will assist you in getting a pre-approval to help you shop comfortably.  Our low rate guarantee only applies to mortgage applications with a purchase agreement completed between seller and purchaser.
  • All interest rate quoting is provided based “On Approved Credit”.  If the bank or lender deems your cash down payment or income verification as non-conventional, an interest rate surcharge may apply.  For example; if you can not prove your income (non -taxable benefits, subsistence, self employed contract work not guaranteed, and things like these) and/or your cash down payment can not be verified conventionally (borrowing a down payment, rental liquidity etc.) it is left to the discretion of the bank to present the mortgage committment and interest rate.  HMCF Developments NOR Verico Finex will not alter or adjust any mortgage commitments or interest rates without express consent from the client.
