Buyer to "Assume Mortgage" on completion. The project offers two significant advantages:
1. Greater financing certainty: The CMHC-insured construction mortgage has already been approved and funded. The buyer would only need to assume/takeover the existing mortgage upon "project completion". No concern about financing uncertainty or concern on construction.
2. Approximately $135,000 in CMHC premium savings: The existing mortgage was approved with a 2.9% CMHC premium. Based on the current 5.6% premium rate, the project benefits from substantial savings compared with arranging the same financing today.
