- Mortgage broker and lender information
- Information regarding your existing mortgage
- Property tax information
- Property insurance information
- Other documents required by the lender or necessary for completion of the transaction
Private Mortgages
Private mortgage transactions can involve different risks and requirements from conventional bank financing. Whether you are a borrower or lender, obtaining independent legal advice and understanding the terms and obligations of the mortgage are important.
At Sahib Law, we assist with private mortgage transactions, subject to our review of the transaction, lender instructions, conflict requirements, and completion of the necessary legal and regulatory due diligence.
Depending upon the transaction, we may require:
- Identification and client verification documentation
- Corporate documentation, where a corporation is involved
- Mortgage and lender instructions
- Information regarding existing mortgages and other registered encumbrances
- Property information
- Additional documents necessary to complete our legal and professional obligations
Acceptance of a private mortgage retainer is subject to our review of the particular circumstances and applicable professional requirements.
