What Are Private Mortgage Rates?

Private mortgage rates come from private mortgage lenders in BC in the alternative, home equity or non-conforming mortgage market. Mortgage rates from these types of private mortgage lenders in BC are higher than traditional mortgage rates due to the higher degree of risk in the borrower’s application.

What Determines Your Rate

Four things set the price on a private mortgage in BC.

  • Loan-to-value ratio – Lower LTV means lower risk and a better rate. A $600K Vancouver home at 50% LTV secures the best rates.
  • Property value and location – Higher-value properties in liquid markets price better. A $1M home in Victoria will beat a $300K rural property where resale potential is thinner.
  • Credit and income verification – Many private lenders still look. Borrowers with a 680+ score and verifiable income may qualify for lower rates; poor credit or stated income can add 1–2%.
  • Market conditions – Bank of Canada rate changes, inflation, and local housing demand all move private pricing.

Private Mortgage Rates vs Bank Rates In BC

Banks lend at roughly 5–6% to borrowers with strong credit and stable income, but eligibility is strict and approval can take weeks. Private lenders in BC typically sit slightly higher than bank rates and can go up depending on risk, and you are paying for flexibility and speed: self-employed income, bruised credit and short-term files are all workable, and approvals can often happen in days rather than weeks.

What Are Private Mortgages Best For?

Debt consolidation, home buying, renovations, pre-sales, business capital, self-employed borrowers, outstanding taxes, and education. When you borrow at a higher rate, use the funds to improve your credit position so you can return to the banks in a few years.

Regional Private Mortgage Rates In BC

Private lenders adjust rates by property location, LTV, and borrower risk. Urban centres may secure lower rates when properties have higher liquidity, while rural areas may face stricter terms.

Vancouver

Average home value (2025) $1,185,000

  • 1st mortgage, LTV ≤50%: Best rate options
  • 1st mortgage, LTV 65–75%: Higher rate options
  • 2nd mortgage: Have similar scale as above based on loan to value ratio

Vancouver’s market pushes lenders to compete across the GVRD. Borrowers with low income but substantial equity often secure the lowest 1st mortgage pricing.

Victoria and Kelowna

  • 1st mortgage, LTV ≤50%: Best rate options
  • 2nd mortgage: Have similar scale as above based on loan to value ratio

Stable demand supports these markets, though rates rise sharply on small acreages, rural properties and cabins.

Rural and non-traditional properties

  • Raw land: maximum 55% LTV, priced case by case
  • Mobile homes on leased land: case by case

Lenders manage risk by capping LTV and charging origination fees of roughly 1.5–2%. On a $500,000 rural property at 50% LTV, a 1.5% lender fee is $7,500 on top of interest.

All rates subject to change.

What To Consider Beyond The Rate

Some lenders advertise a low rate then recover it through private mortgage lender fees. Payout penalties matter too: four months’ interest for early payout can add roughly 4% annually to your cost of borrowing. Renewal terms range from a one-time fixed fee to 1% or 2% of the loan amount, which changes your real rate in year two.

Term length is the other thing to plan for. Most private mortgages in BC run six months to two years, so you need a route out before the term ends. Borrowers who cannot refinance in time face renewal problems or foreclosure risk, which is why the exit matters as much as the rate.

How We Get You a Better Mortgage Rate in BC

We work a network of MICs, family offices and accredited investors rather than a single lender, which is where competitive pricing comes from. We negotiate private mortgage lender fees, typically starting at 1%, and work to minimise prepayment penalties. Urgent files can be approved in 24–72 hours.

We provide equity-based solutions up to 75% LTV for credit-challenged borrowers and build an exit plan to move you into traditional financing within one to three years. In Vancouver and Victoria we also arrange emergency funding to halt power of sale proceedings and redeem foreclosures, in line with BCFSA requirements for private mortgage activity and provincial lending laws.

Before deciding, speak to a mortgage specialist with access to the top private mortgage lenders. Our rates and tools page compares terms against bank rates.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    First mortgages typically start at a few % higher than bank rates depending on LTV and borrower profile. Second mortgages sit higher, usually starting at double prime, reflecting the increased risk. Short-term borrowers often take interest-only payments to hold monthly costs down.

    Rarely fixed in the way a 5-year bank product is. Private lenders set customised terms by risk, producing variable or fixed rates. Read your mortgage agreement to see how the rate can move during the term.

    Often, particularly through a broker. Broker fees, loan origination fees and legal fees are all part of the cost, and reducing or spreading them changes what you actually pay.

    They take borrowers with bruised credit, unconventional income or properties that fail standard appraisal criteria. That increased risk shows up in the rate and in additional fees. A borrower with poor credit seeking $300,000 at 75% LTV might see an APR of 9%+ against roughly 5% conventional.

    Improve your credit profile, provide a full appraisal and property details showing strong equity, and work with a broker with access to many private lenders.
