Other Fees
CMHC
If your down payment is less than 25% of the purchase price of the home,
the mortgage will require insurance from CMHC. The premium is usually
added to the mortgage. The premium ranges from .5% of the mortgage
value to 2.5% depending on the size of down payment. There is also
Provincial Sales Tax of 8% on the premium which is an up front cost
and can not be added to the mortgage. $250.00
PROPERTY TAX ADJUSTMENT
In addition to the above costs, you may be required to have cash on hand
to repay the vendors for taxes they have paid in advance. In addition,
your lender may also request that you pre-pay a few months taxes as well.
A good rule of thumb is to have enough money to pay six months taxes. $700.00
INTEREST ADJUSTMENT
Depending on the date chosen by the lender as the interest adjustment
(the date the mortgage starts) you may be required to pay interest to the
lender from the date the money is required and the interest adjustment date.
The Maximum amount would be one month's interest at the rate of interest
charged in the mortgage.
INSURANCE
You will have to arrange for fire insurance a few days before possession.
The annual rate is based on the value of the property, approximately $250.00
DEPOSITS
Some utility companies require that a new customer put down a deposit
to cover future bills.
