How to Stop a power of sale.

When a real estate owner misses one or more mortgage payments, often referred to as a mortgage arrears, including any other act that constitutes default under the mortgage charge, the bank or private mortgage lender can take legal steps to enforce it’s security, which, unsolved, can lead to the real estate being sold via Power of Sale. In summary, 15 days following the act of default, the mortgage lender can deliver a written document known as a Notice of Sale to the to all parties that have an interest in the real estate security. During this period, the real estate owner is granted 35 days to pay the defaulted amounts to stop the mortgage default, known as the redemption period. If the real estate owner is unable to remedy the default, the lender can exercise their rights under a Power of Sale including issuing a Statement of Claim through the courts. The real estate owner has 20 days to file a statement of defence. The lender can then proceed with issuing and delivering a Notice of Sale to the real estate owner without taking further action for 35 days. The lender can then obtain Default Judgement, apply for a Writ of Seizure and Sale, Order for Possession and Writ of Possession which can lead to a Sheriff evicting the real estate owners and the Lender listing for the property for sale. Power of Sale is the most common default remedy process in Ontario.

Mortgages for foreclosure redemption.

Although, in Ontario, the most common mortgage default remedy for mortgage lenders is a Power of Sale, mortgages lenders in British Columbia and Nova Scotia will typically commence Foreclosure action; a process whereby the courts will permit the mortgage lender to assume ownership to title of the real estate that their mortgage is registered against. If the court grants a Foreclosure, the borrower has a redemption period to pay the principal, interest and all outstanding fees related to the mortgage default to the lender, failing which, the property can be sold by a court-appointed auctioneer or sheriff at a public auction. If the sale proceeds are insufficient to pay-off the total sum owed to the lender, the lender can apply to the court for an order for deficiency judgement. Contact DV Capital to learn if you qualify for a foreclosure redemption mortgage to help you stop the foreclosure process.
