(Estimated timeframe: 45 – 60 days)
Mortgage applications cannot be processed before the contract is finalized. Once the mortgage application is complete, your lender will release a commitment letter. This letter is required to complete your board package/condo application if you are financing an apartment.
If you’re financing, now is the time you pass on your fully executed contract to your lender. You’ll need to submit bank statements, pay stubs, W2s, tax returns, and whatever else required for the audit. Along with this due diligence on both your financials and the building, a home appraisal was conducted. On average, the process can take 30-45 days but can make for longer, depending on the process and how many follow-ups are required.
