How It Works

No matter how big or small your renovation plans are, this mortgage can take your fixer-upper from to-do to ta-da. There is no maximum amount for your renovation, as long as it and the purchase of the home both fit within your budget.


Eligible Properties

  • Up to four units where one unit is owner-occupied
  • New construction covered by a lender approved
  • New Home Warranty Program
  • Existing resale properties
  • Readily marketable residential homes, located in markets with demonstrated ongoing re-sale demand
  • Estimated remaining life of the property should be a minimum of 25 years
  • Minimum of $10,000 required for the home improvements and renovations

How to Apply

Book a conversation with a CUA representative using the form above and we’ll reach out to review options and next steps, including meeting a Financial Advisor and get pre-approved for your mortgage.

This will help you determine how much you can afford, for both the home and the renovations. For example, if you have a budget of $250,000, you can choose a house that costs $185,000, which will then make your renovation budget $65,000.

You can also connect with a member of our team at your branch or by calling our Customer Contact Centre at 902-492-6500.
