A decline is an internal policy decision. It isn’t a verdict on you. Get the exact reason, because an exceeded ratio, a miscalculated income and an ineligible property each lead to a different next step. Without the reason, shopping elsewhere means starting over blind.
The decline reason in writing, if you can get it, and the file as it was submitted. Add your notices of assessment, income proof and down payment proof. Find out how many credit checks were already run too. Piling them up eventually hurts the file.
What a lender approves and the payment you can live with are rarely the same number. Set the second one first. In Thetford Mines, taxes, insurance and heating come on top of the mortgage every month.
Your offer in Thetford Mines needs enough time for the lender’s review, mortgage insurance, the appraisal and the documents that will go missing.
A lender approves the property as much as the borrower. Condition, intended use and anything flagged at inspection or in the title records can stop a Thetford Mines file that looked fine on the numbers alone.
Beyond the down payment: notary fees, tax adjustments and transfer duty. In Thetford Mines, the welcome tax usually arrives months after the purchase, once the move and the furniture have already emptied the account. That’s why so many buyers forget it.
To prepare
Yes. Phone, email or video call, with documents sent online. We can meet in person if you’d rather, but most files get done without anyone driving anywhere.
No. Every lender has its own policy, and a decline doesn’t show on your credit report. But you do need the exact reason. Without it, shopping around just means starting over blind.
Pick the situation closest to yours.
