Where do you fit?

  • First home

    Buying a first property in Thetford Mines, or anywhere in Chaudière-Appalaches: what you can actually borrow, what the down payment has to be, and the transfer duty the city charges.

    Buying a first home
  • Renewal

    Your lender's renewal letter is an offer, not the offer. I compare it for owners in Thetford Mines, Adstock, Disraeli and East Broughton.

  • Refinancing

    Pulling equity out of a Thetford Mines property to consolidate debt or fund renovations, with the penalty and the closing costs on the table before you commit.

  • Plex and rental

    Two units or more in Thetford Mines or elsewhere in the Les Appalaches MRC: the down payment rises, leases are required, and only part of the rent counts toward your capacity.

    Rental property file
  • Self-employed

    Self-employed in Chaudière-Appalaches: two years of notices of assessment, and lenders that read a T2125 properly instead of halving your income.

What the lender asks for, by property type.

  • Recent developmentIncome, assets, debts. The simple case.
  • Plex in the old villageLeases, rental income statement, higher down payment from two units up.
  • Well and septicWater potability test, septic compliance. The leading cause of delay in the MRC.

How it works in Thetford Mines.

  1. 01The callFifteen to thirty minutes, by phone or video. You describe the Thetford Mines project and the date that matters. No document needed yet.
  2. 02The fileI gather your records and calculate your ratios before your name goes anywhere. A refused application leaves a mark on your credit file.
  3. 03The shoppingYour file goes to the lenders whose criteria fit, in parallel. You see every offer compared on the same basis.
  4. 04The decisionYours. Rate, penalty, prepayment privileges and portability side by side — not just the number in the ad.
  5. 05ClosingAt your notary in Thetford Mines. I follow the lender conditions through to funding.

Before you call.

  • My bank already gave me a rate.Good — bring it. A posted rate is a starting point, and your bank shows you its own products only. If it stays the best offer after comparison, staying is the right call and you will know it from the numbers.
  • You have no office in Thetford Mines.No, and it changes nothing about lender access. Call, video, documents online, signature at your notary. The lenders read a file, not a postal code.
  • Will this hurt my credit score?I calculate your ratios before submitting anything, precisely so a refusal does not land on your file. One application, to the lenders whose criteria actually fit.
  • I am just starting to look.That is the right time. A pre-approval costs nothing, commits you to nothing, and tells you your real ceiling before you fall in love with a property above it.

What I cost you.

Nothing, in most cases.

On an ordinary residential mortgage in Thetford Mines — purchase, renewal, refinancing, one to four units — the lender that funds the mortgage pays me. You get no invoice for the meetings, the file, the comparisons or the follow-ups. The amount can vary from one lender or product to another; I disclose what applies to your file before you accept an offer. How I am paid, in detail

Run your own numbers first.

Transfer duty

Transfer duty in Thetford Mines

  • $350,000 purchase$3,360
  • $500,000 purchase$5,610

In Thetford Mines, the transfer duty, the “welcome tax”, is calculated in brackets on the higher of the price paid and the standardized municipal assessment. With Quebec’s base schedule for 2026 (0.5% up to $62,900, 1% up to $315,000, 1.5% above), a $350,000 purchase comes to about $3,360 and a $500,000 purchase to about $5,610. Thetford Mines may have adopted higher brackets above $500,000: check its schedule before setting your reserve.

The bill arrives by mail weeks or months after closing. It does not go through the notary and cannot be financed in the mortgage: keep the amount in your reserve after the purchase. For your price, use the purchase costs tool.

Questions

Thetford Mines: your questions, my answers

What if my offer is accepted before financing is confirmed?

That’s what the financing condition in the offer is for. Don’t remove it until you have final approval in writing.

Do I have to bank somewhere to get financing there?

No. A well-built file is judged on its numbers, not on how long you’ve held a chequing account.

Do I pay for your services?

On an ordinary residential file, no: the compensation comes from the lender. Exceptions exist, mostly in private financing, and you’re told about them in writing beforehand.

Is there a local branch I can walk into?

Not in Thetford Mines : I work remotely across Quebec, and the file moves by phone, video and secure document exchange. Start from the contact page.

Can I get a better rate because the city is large?

No. Lenders price your file (income, credit, down payment, property type) not the size of the municipality.

What are realistic timelines?

A few days for a pre-approval once the paperwork is together. For final approval it rides on the lender and the appraisal report, so no fixed date can be promised.
