Stop Power Of Sale
The stop power of sale is often used by lenders to recover funds when a homeowner defaults on their mortgages. What this means is that the lender can put your home up for sale to recover interest arrears and money owed to the lender. Lenders do not typically issue the power of sale after missing one scheduled payment, rather it is the result of habitually missing payments throughout the regular term of the mortgage, or missing 2-3 consecutive payments.
How To Stop Power Of Sale?
We can negotiate on your behalf for an extension of the sale process to explore other finance funding avenues to help your lender recover some of the funds but it is an absolute priority to get in touch with a mortgage broker within 30 days of receiving notice. This can be a stressful time for anyone and at first it may seem easier to give up and not seek a solution.
Avoid The Sale Process
Lenders who are looking to recover their funds are not looking to sell the property at a low price. Often lenders will accept the first offer at 95% of the homes value. This of course is a loss to you and not beneficial.

What Does Power of Sale Mean in Ontario?
A Power of Sale in Ontario is commonly caused by the home owner being in mortgage arrears, and falling behind on mortgage payments. Generally, a lender will proceed with a power of sale in any instance a homeowner has breached the terms of their mortgage agreement.
When in default of a mortgage, the lender demands repayment of mortgage arrears, or full pay out of their mortgage, in the form of an official demand letter issued by their lawyer.
Mortgage lenders in Ontario will then send you “Notice of Sale Under Mortgage” after 15 days of a mortgage default. The home owner has approximately 30 days to fix it during the notice of sale stage.
If the default has not been remedied after the 30 day period, the lender can issue a “Statement of Claim” to all parties that have any investment in the property, including the home owner, other mortgage lenders/banks on title. The lender must follow a legal process to take possession of a home to be able to sell the property under power of sale, to get their mortgage amount back in full.
