I have a question on Completion mortage. If I choose a builder to build the house and choose Completion mortgage option. I will pay 5% at beginning when starting the construction and will only require a mortgage upon closing. My question is whether CMHC will consider that I only pay 5% downpayment and charge the corresponding insurance fee, or CMHC will consider the ammount of downpayment when I require the mortgage upon closing? Thanks.7 X/ ]( s" F; X6 f# O6 I

Another question: if I purchase the lot and apply for a mortagage for this lot purchase, does CMHC charge the insurance fee? Thanks.
Question 1:; B; Y4 D* _: y e& h The mortgage company will calculate your downpayment percentage when they need to release the mortgage for your closing. If there is a CMHC insurance fee, the fee will be added to your final mortgage amount. 1 m7 o9 Y% @% ?! k/ W. ~' L 2 Y2 w; _" j* l0 z3 p!

^8 H& B( F8 _I have another question. If I choose Completion mortgage option, how much downpayment I need to pay at beginning when starting construction? I saw someone mentioned she only paid 5%. However, some builders told me that they need 20%. I want to check if that is negotiable? Thanks.
Yes, that is a negotiable item. Do you have a realtor? Ask your realtor to talk with the builder. Normally, 5% is good enough. But some builders need 10%. For those builder asking you 20%, their financial situation might not be that good.
