Vacant Land Mortgage Services for Surrey and BC Buyers

Vacant land is treated differently from a home by most lenders. With no building to live in or rent, lenders see more risk, so down payment requirements are usually higher and fewer lenders offer land mortgages across BC.

As your mortgage broker in Surrey, we review the property, your plans and your finances, and then match you to lenders that finance land. We explain the costs and conditions before you make an offer.

Types of Vacant Land We Help Finance in Surrey, BC

Land mortgage options may be available in Surrey and nearby areas for:

  • Residential lots for a future home
  • Land purchased as a long-term investment
  • Lots where construction is planned within a set timeframe

What Lenders Review for a Land Mortgage in Surrey

Lenders assess the land as well as the borrower. Typical items for a Surrey purchase include:

  • Services: access to roads, water, sewer or septic and power.
  • Down payment: the amount you contribute toward the purchase.
  • Your plans: whether you intend to build, hold or resell.
