Frequently asked questions
+Do I need a Toronto mortgage broker if I'm buying in Bayview Village?
You don't need one, but a broker can compare lenders, structure your offer, and flag Bayview Village-specific underwriting issues (building lender lists, heritage rules, multiplex legality, or appraisal variance) that a single-lender bank rep won't surface.
+How much should I budget for closing costs in Bayview Village?
Plan for 1.5%–4% of the purchase price for land transfer tax (Toronto buyers pay both Ontario and municipal LTT), legal fees, title insurance, status certificate review on condos, home inspection, and adjustments. A first-time-buyer LTT rebate may apply.
+Is a pre-approval enough to make an offer in Bayview Village?
A pre-approval gives you a working budget and a held rate, but it isn't a firm commitment. For competitive offers, your broker will help you understand what financing-condition language a lender will support on the specific property.
+Can I include rental income from a basement suite when buying in Bayview Village?
Often yes, if the suite is legal or can be brought to legal status. Lenders differ on how much rental income they add back and how they document it. Your broker can pre-screen lenders based on the property's suite status.
