A private lender built for
the mortgage broker.
A private mortgage broker needs a private lender for mortgage brokers, not a retail lender with a broker channel bolted on. You underwrite the client. We underwrite the property, the exit and the file. Your client stays your client — at funding, at renewal, and after.

Straight to the underwriting desk. The right channel for anything that needs a sentence of explanation.
Email the deskThe 10 Point Submission
Ten lines, and we can price it.
Put these in the body of the email. Everything else is detail we can chase.
- 1 · Address — full civic address of the subject property
- 2 · Credit scores — every borrower on title
- 3 · Subject value — appraised, or your estimate pending appraisal
- 4 · Current balances (if refinance) — with the lender name on each charge
- 5 · Requested mortgage — the amount the borrower needs
- 6 · LTV requested — loan to value on the ask
- 7 · Requested closing date
- 8 · Arrears, if any — mortgage, tax or condo fee
- 9 · Exit strategy — how the term ends
- 10 · Position — first or second charge
The process
Four steps from submission to funds.
Step 01
Received for review
Application, credit report and appraisal received. That package is what starts the clock.
Step 02
Pricing offered
Pricing comes back by email. Proceeding requires a non-refundable admin fee — $500 on a second mortgage, $1,000 on a first.
Step 03
Commitment issued
On receipt of the admin fee the approval expiry is set at 48 hours and the commitment is issued.
Step 04
Instructed for closing
Once every condition is complete the file is instructed for closing in 3 to 7 business days.
Rush files
Additional admin fee of $500.
Same-day instructions, next-day funds
$1,000. The file must be broker complete before it can be instructed.
Ground rules
What speeds a file up, and what stalls it.
Speeds it up
- An appraisal from our approved panel — underwriting review in under twenty minutes
- A stated exit: sale, refinance, or a maturing institutional term
- Full bureau, including the items you would rather explain than hide
- Photos and a note on condition where the property is unusual
- Rent roll or lease attached on any rental file
Stalls it
- Partial applications with no value support
- Private money on title disclosed after the quote rather than before
- An appraisal older than the market it is describing
- No plan for how the term ends
- A borrower who has not been told what the file will cost
What you get from us
The things brokers say they actually need.
A named human
Direct access to the underwriter who prices and instructs your file, plus business development by territory.
Published criteria
Every program's box is on a page you can read, link to and quote from — not locked inside a PDF.
Written non-solicitation
We do not market to your borrower. Renewals come back through you, 90 days ahead of maturity.
Compliance cover
A written options comparison and exit plan for your file — the documentation FSRA expects you to hold.
Partner registration
Get on the desk's list
Registered partners get program bulletins, the approved appraiser list, and first look when a program's criteria move.
What registering gets you
Everything you need to place a file, in one email.
- The Program Guide — every program's box, lending areas and submission requirements
- The approved appraiser panel, so the report is never ordered twice
- A direct line to the underwriting desk, with a pricing target under two hours
- The 10 Point Submission checklist and every form the desk uses
- Notice of program changes before they take effect
No rate sheet is published. Pricing is quoted per file after review of the application, appraisal and credit report.
Working with us
An alternative lender for mortgage brokers, on paper.
Private lender no solicitation policy
Written, not implied. Lendmax does not market to your client at funding, at renewal or after discharge. Renewal offers go through the broker of record; a borrower who contacts the desk directly is referred back to you.
Private lender broker portal
Submissions run through Filogix, Scarlett, Boss or email today. The broker portal on the application platform — file status, conditions upload and instructions in one place — is being rolled out to registered brokers; register with the desk to be invited.
B lender vs private lender
A B lender underwrites the borrower with lighter documentation; a private lender underwrites the property and the exit. When the file fails on credit, income or location rather than on the asset, it is a private-lender file — and this page tells you which program before you submit.
