Metro Vancouver — North Shore

Mortgage broker serving North Vancouver.

North Vancouver covers everything from Lower Lonsdale condo investors to Edgemont $4M custom builds. The right lender depends on which side of the bridge — and which side of the canyon — you're on.

The North Vancouver market

North Van splits between the District (Edgemont, Lynn Valley, Deep Cove, Blueridge) where detached pricing and custom builds dominate, and the City (Lower Lonsdale, Central Lonsdale) where condos and investor activity rule. Construction loans are heavy here — many District lots get torn down and rebuilt — and they need draw-mortgage lenders that fund quickly.

  • Construction draw mortgages for District tear-down rebuilds
  • Lower Lonsdale investor condos and rental refinances

Why us in North Vancouver

We close enough North Shore construction draws that we know exactly which lenders fund on time and which ones drag holdbacks. That timing difference is often the entire build budget.

North Vancouver mortgage FAQ

Do you finance North Vancouver leasehold on Squamish Nation land?+

Yes. Lower Lonsdale, Park Royal and parts of Marine Drive sit on leasehold. We have lender programs specifically for prepaid leases and remaining-term leases, where banks routinely decline. Lease term remaining drives lender selection and amortization.

Can you mortgage older Lynn Valley and Edgemont detached homes?+

Regularly. Many 1950s-60s Edgemont, Capilano Highlands and Lynn Valley homes have oil-tank history, asbestos, or aluminum wiring. We pre-flag these to underwriting and use lenders that accept remediation holdbacks instead of refusing the file.

What about new construction in Lower Lonsdale and Central Lonsdale towers?+

We arrange pre-sale and assignment financing across the new Lonsdale corridor towers (The Shipyards, Pier West area). Rate holds out to 24 months are possible with the right lender — critical for completions that have slipped 6-12 months from original timelines.
