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

ForeclosurePrivate 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.
