Lender criteria in Capitale-Nationale
A refinance tops out at 80% of the value, and the lender’s appraisal settles it, not the price you paid or what the neighbour sold for. If you break the current term, the penalty goes into the calculation. It often decides whether the move is worth making.
Documents before comparison
Your mortgage statement with the balance and estimated penalty, the tax bill, your notices of assessment, the list of debts you plan to pay off. Get the penalty from your current lender in writing. The real figure often differs from what they quote over the phone.
The price and the value
If sales in Capitale-Nationale are thin, treat the appraisal as a risk. When it comes in under your price, the lender lends on the lower figure and you pay the rest in cash.
Income and down payment
A file in Capitale-Nationale starts with four things: income proof, where the down payment comes from, what you owe, and what’s left each month.
Comparing the conditions
Comparing rates takes ten seconds. The differences that cost money are the penalty if you break the term, the yearly prepayment room, and whether the mortgage is portable when you move. Ask about those.
Paperwork before sending
Get the file complete on the first pass and you skip the back-and-forth that eats weeks. In Capitale-Nationale, like everywhere else, the analysis is rarely what slows things down. It’s waiting on an employer, a bank or an appraiser.

Frequently asked
Can the file be reviewed remotely?+
Yes. It all runs by phone, email or video call, and documents go through online. We can meet in person, but most files get settled without anyone having to travel.
How much can be refinanced?+
Up to 80% of the property’s value, as the lender’s appraisal sees it, not as the price you paid. If you break the current term, the penalty goes into the calculation, and it is often what decides whether the deal is worth doing.
