Local expertise

Mortgage Broker in London

London, Ontario has a lot going for it. A major university, a growing health sciences sector, and home prices that make GTA buyers do a double take. Canadian Mortgage Services has been helping Ontario homeowners since 1988, and we bring over 40 lender options to every deal. Buying, renewing, or refinancing. We make the process straightforward.

Known as the “Forest City,” London sits along the Thames River in southwestern Ontario. It’s a regional hub for healthcare, education, and manufacturing, with a growing population that’s pushing demand and slowly tightening the market.

FAQ

Mortgage Broker London — your questions.

Q01How much does it cost to buy a home in London right now?
As of early 2026, the average home price in London is around $614,000. That said, prices vary a lot depending on the neighbourhood and property type. A condo or townhome will sit well below that average, while detached homes in popular areas can be higher. We can give you a more specific breakdown based on where you want to buy.
Q02How much do I need for a down payment in London?
Based on current average prices in London, the minimum down payment starts around $36,400. In Canada, homes under $500,000 require 5% down. Between $500,000 and $999,999, it’s 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the rest. Over $1 million, you need at least 20%. We help you figure out what works for your budget and which programs can help reduce your upfront costs.
Q03Why should I use a mortgage broker in London instead of going to my bank?
A bank only offers its own products. A mortgage broker compares options from 40+ lenders, including banks, credit unions, and alternative lenders, to find the best rate and terms for your situation. There’s no cost to you on most residential mortgages because the lender pays our fee. For London buyers, this means more options, better rates, and terms that actually fit your financial picture.
Q04What are closing costs when buying a home in London?
Budget roughly 1.5% to 4% of your purchase price for closing costs. This covers land transfer tax, legal fees, title insurance, and adjustments. In Ontario, first-time buyers can get a rebate on up to $4,000 of the provincial land transfer tax. London buyers should also budget for a home inspection and appraisal if required by the lender. We walk you through all of this so there are no surprises.
Q05What first-time buyer programs are available in London?
Ontario first-time buyers can access several programs: the First Home Savings Account (FHSA), the Home Buyers’ Plan (withdraw up to $60,000 from your RRSP), Ontario’s land transfer tax rebate (up to $4,000), and the federal First-Time Home Buyer Incentive. You may also qualify for extended 30-year amortization on insured mortgages. We make sure you take advantage of every program you’re eligible for.
Q06When does it make sense to refinance my mortgage in London?
Refinancing can make sense when you want to access home equity, consolidate high-interest debt, fund renovations, or take advantage of a lower rate. The key is making sure the savings outweigh the costs of breaking your current mortgage. We run the full analysis, including any penalties, legal fees, and the long-term impact, so you can see whether refinancing actually puts you ahead.
