BREATHE easy. The help you need is right here.

Purchasing a home is a smart investment. Yet whether you are buying a home, refinancing or simply renewing, the mortgage you choose is an important decision. Working with an independent mortgage professional is the first thing you can do to ensure the process is simple, convenient, and in your best interest.

FIRST MORTGAGE:

Gives the lender a primary lien / charge against your house and property which has precedence over all other mortgages. Priority is determined by the date and time registered, so a first mortgage was literally and legally registered "first". A new first mortgage can therefore only be registered as a "first" mortgage upon the discharge of an existing one if the holder of a second mortgage "postpones" (i.e., "puts back in time") to a time immediately following the registration of the new first mortgage.
