Oakville Power of Sale Rescue with Private Mortgage and UK Judgment Exit
Oakville homeowners were facing power of sale on their primary residence. The wife was chronically ill and not working. One son was autistic. The husband was between jobs. The loan-to-value was high at around 80%, and many lenders are uncomfortable with high-LTV power of sale rescues because they need to know what has changed. If a borrower could not pay the previous lender, the new lender will ask why they should be comfortable. In this case, the material change was significant: the husband had won a lawsuit in the UK, and the court had awarded him approximately £6 million. He expected to realize the money within about three months. We explained the full story to the lender and provided a copy of the judgment. The lender found comfort in the documented exit strategy and funded the mortgage to avoid power of sale.
