Mortgage loans in New Brunswick
The New Brunswick position on a mortgage: provincially licensed, lender-priced, and assessed on the file.
How a mortgage is priced and assessed in New Brunswick depends on the product and on the provincial rules that sit over it.
Mortgage loans are one of the New Brunswick product pages on this site, and the description below applies to a contract signed with a lender licensed in New Brunswick.
What a mortgage is
Mortgage loans: Borrowing against residential property, including how a federally regulated lender tests the file.
A mortgage is secured by residential property, and federally regulated lenders apply a qualifying test to the file before the amount is set.
Default puts the asset at risk, which is the trade a borrower makes for the lower price.
The asset is the lender's fallback, so the price is usually lower than for an unsecured equivalent.
The New Brunswick rules that apply
The federal payday lending regulations, SOR/2024-114, cap the cost of borrowing at $14 per $100 advanced in New Brunswick, which the federal Payday Lending Regulations (SOR/2024-114) list as a province that regulates the product.
