Collateral charges aren't new, but they are something you should learn about as they are becoming more common in the mortgage world. If you haven't heard about collateral charge mortgages, or don't understand them, you're not alone. It's one of the financial world's "good news / bad news" items. The definition of a collateral charge is a charge on the title of a property attached to a promissory note - ie - a requirement to pay a loan made secure by a property. While having a promise to pay, attached to a line of credit (the typical use of collateral charges) makes sense, this format is growing in use with mortgages. The good news about collateral charges is they allow a re-advanceable form of lending. If you want more money down the road, you won't need to re-register the mortgage. This will save you the pains of refinancing along with costs of the legal fees. Tony Marchigiano 1-155 Water Street Mortgage Broker Vancouver, BC cell: 604 505 7109 fax: 605 909 4666 |
