Mortgage Solutions to Stop Foreclosure in BC
Facing foreclosure? You still have options to save your home or exit strategically. As a mortgage broker specializing in foreclosure solutions, I help homeowners in Vancouver and across BC find last-minute financing—even with bad credit or income challenges.
3 Ways to Stop or Delay Foreclosure
1. Refinance with a Private Mortgage (Fastest Solution)
✅ No income verification – Approval based on your home’s equity.
✅ Funds in 5-10 days – Faster than banks.
✅ Stops foreclosure immediately – Pays off your existing lender.
How it works:
-
Private lenders loan up to 80% of your home’s current value, but for foreclosure usually it's only 65%.
-
Short-term (1-3 years), giving you time to rebuild finances.
-
Renew or refinance later if your situation improves.
2. Negotiate with Your Lender
Banks often prefer alternatives to foreclosure. Ask about:
-
Payment deferrals (temporary pause).
-
Loan modifications (lower payments).
-
Forbearance agreements (reduced payments for a set period).
Tip: A mortgage broker can negotiate on your behalf.
3. Sell the Property (If Refinancing Isn’t Possible)
-
Avoid foreclosure on your credit report by selling first.
-
Use a quick-sale program or equity take-out to cover debts.
Foreclosure Risks vs. Private Mortgage Costs
Foreclosure | Private Mortgage | |
---|---|---|
Credit Impact | Severe (7+ years) | Minimal (if repaid on time) |
Time Frame | 6-12 months process | Stopped in days |
Future Home Buying | Harder to qualify | Easier if you refinance later |
Example: A $700K home with $400K owed could get a private mortgage for $455K (65% LTV), pay off the bank, and buy you 1-3 years to recover.
Act Fast—Foreclosure Timelines Are Short
In BC, foreclosure can happen in as little as 6 months after missed payments. The sooner you act, the more options you’ll have.
