Saanich mortgage FAQ

Can you finance Saanich Peninsula ALR and small-farm properties?+

Yes. North Saanich and Central Saanich ALR farmland (Deep Cove, Brentwood Bay, Saanichton) is routinely declined by urban banks. We use ag-friendly lenders that finance hobby farms and active operations.

Do you handle Cordova Bay and Broadmead detached homes?+

Regularly. Higher-end Cordova Bay and Broadmead files need jumbo-comfortable lenders that don't haircut the LTV at $1.5M+.

What about UVic-area rental investment properties?+

Common. Gordon Head and Cadboro Bay near UVic are heavy rental markets. We use lenders that count student-rental income (room-by-room or full-house lease) properly.
