Because the lender decides more than the rate: how Fraser Valley property types are read, how much of your income counts, and what the file costs to move. In British Columbia the file is placed by a mortgage professional licensed in British Columbia, through our partner network.

On Abbotsford's $713,300 value, behind the $356,650 first this page assumes, a second to the 85% combined ceiling is about $249,655. Interest-only at 12.99% that is $2,703 a month, $32,436 over 12 months. Add a lender fee of 1%–3% ($2,497–$7,490, normally taken off the advance) and roughly $2,500 of legal and appraisal costs. All in: $37,433–$42,426, an effective 15%–17% a year on the money advanced. Compare that figure, not the rate.

Almost always the second, if your existing first is at a normal rate — a private first at 75% LTV would be $534,975 here, and it reprices your entire balance at 7.49% instead of pricing only the new money. The second costs 12.99% because it recovers last on a sale, but it applies to $249,655 rather than to everything. A private first makes sense when the existing first is itself expensive, when it is already in default, or when the first lender will not permit a charge behind it — which we determine by reading your commitment, not by assuming.
