Luxury Home Mortgages in Toronto
High-value financing — handled by lenders who specialize in it.
Toronto homes over $1.5M are uninsurable, require 20%+ down, and often involve more complex income — incorporated business owners, equity comp, multi-property portfolios. A broker matches the file to lenders who routinely underwrite luxury purchases.
Who this is best for

Frequently asked questions
+Are luxury mortgage rates higher?
Not inherently — competitive lenders price luxury files in line with conventional pricing for strong borrowers.
+Can I get a luxury mortgage with less than 20% down?
Not insured. Over $1.5M requires 20% on the first $1.5M and 50% on the portion above, or alternative structures.

Yes — luxury files almost always require a full interior appraisal.
+Do you work with private banking?
Yes — and we compare against brokered options so you see the real choice.
