Where do you fit?
First home
Buying a first property in Sept-Îles, or anywhere in Côte-Nord: what you can actually borrow, what the down payment has to be, and the transfer duty the city charges.
Buying a first homeRenewal
Your lender's renewal letter is an offer, not the offer. I compare it for owners in Sept-Îles, Port-Cartier.
Compare my renewalRefinancing
Pulling equity out of a Sept-Îles property to consolidate debt or fund renovations, with the penalty and the closing costs on the table before you commit.
Frame a refinancingPlex and rental
Two units or more in Sept-Îles or elsewhere in the Sept-Rivières MRC: the down payment rises, leases are required, and only part of the rent counts toward your capacity.
Rental property fileSelf-employed
Self-employed in Côte-Nord: two years of notices of assessment, and lenders that read a T2125 properly instead of halving your income.
Self-employed 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 Sept-Îles.
- 01The callFifteen to thirty minutes, by phone or video. You describe the Sept-Îles project and the date that matters. No document needed yet.
- 02The fileI gather your records and calculate your ratios before your name goes anywhere. A refused application leaves a mark on your credit file.
- 03The shoppingYour file goes to the lenders whose criteria fit, in parallel. You see every offer compared on the same basis.
- 04The decisionYours. Rate, penalty, prepayment privileges and portability side by side — not just the number in the ad.
- 05ClosingAt your notary in Sept-Îles. 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 Sept-Îles.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.
On an ordinary residential mortgage in Sept-Îles — 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 in Sept-Îles
- $350,000 purchase≈ $3,360
- $500,000 purchase≈ $5,610
In Sept-Îles, 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. Sept-Îles 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.
Frequently asked — Sept-Îles
How do we work together if you’re not based in Sept-Îles?
The same way I work with clients anywhere in Quebec: remotely, with documents online and the signature at your own notary. Reach me through the contact page.
Should I keep the financing condition in my offer?
Yes, until final approval is in writing. It’s your only way out if the lender comes back with a no, or with conditions you can’t meet.
Am I obliged to renew with my current lender?
No. A renewal is a negotiating moment, not a formality. The letter you receive is one proposal among several that are possible.
What should I do first?
Gather your income proof and three months of bank statements. Then we talk: that’s where the file takes shape.
How long does it take?
A pre-approval can happen within days if your documents are ready. Final approval depends on the lender and the appraisal, and has to be confirmed file by file.
Does a pre-approval protect me?
Partly. It locks a rate for a set period and confirms an order of magnitude, but the building you choose still has to clear the lender’s review.
Ready to start in Sept-Îles?
I also build files in the surrounding area: Candiac, L’Assomption and Beloeil.
