The mortgage explained for Scugog

A mortgage is a loan secured by residential property and repaid over a long amortisation. That description holds in Scugog as it does elsewhere in Ontario.

For a mortgage in Scugog, the practical point is simple: compare the rate, the term, the amortisation and the prepayment terms together.

Because it is secured, the mortgage gives the lender a claim on an asset, and a Scugog borrower should understand what is at risk.

How a lender assesses a mortgage file in Scugog

Nothing in the Scugog assessment turns on the address itself; the file, the income and the obligations carry the decision.
