British Columbia-specific timeline

Foreclosure timelines vary significantly by province. Knowing where BC sits helps you understand how much room you have to act.

In BC, lenders file a court petition around 90 days of default. Total timeline: 4 to 7 months. Power-of-sale provisions in some mortgages move faster. Act within the first 30-60 days for maximum flexibility.

North Vancouver homeowners: your three core options

Most homeowners qualify for more than one. The right answer depends on your equity, your income, and your timeline.

Option 1 Refinance with a new lender

If you have equity in your North Vancouver home and stable income going forward, a B-tier or private lender may refinance even when your current bank won’t. We refer you to a broker who specializes in distressed files.

Best when: 1-3 payments behind, equity in the home, income is stable.

Option 2 Sell on a timeline you choose

We may purchase your North Vancouver home directly for cash on a closing date you pick. No agent commissions. No fees from you.

Best when: 2+ payments behind, foreclosure imminent, you want certainty.

Option 3 Seller-financed sale

We may structure a sale where you continue receiving monthly income from the property without owning the upkeep, taxes, or tenant headaches.

Best when: you want income without ownership responsibility.
