Banks Shut Down at Christmas — Your Home Equity Doesn’t
Admin

Every December, the same thing happens.

Banks slow down.

Underwriters disappear.

Approvals get pushed to “after the holidays.”

But bills, debt, renovations, tax deadlines, and family obligations don’t wait.

If you’re a homeowner sitting on equity, there’s a smarter way to access cash before Christmas — without bank delays, credit stress, or endless paperwork.

That’s where Lendworth comes in.

Why December Is the Worst Time to Rely on a Bank

Most homeowners don’t realize how frozen traditional lending becomes in December:

  • Shortened banking hours

  • Year-end underwriting cutoffs

  • Appraisal backlogs

  • Conservative credit decisions

  • Files pushed into January

If you’re waiting on a bank right now, you’re already behind.

Private lenders operate differently.

At Lendworth, we approve based on property value and equity, not rigid bank formulas.

Need Cash Before Christmas? Here’s How Homeowners Are Using Equity Right Now

Home equity isn’t just for emergencies — it’s a financial tool.

Ontario homeowners are using private mortgages in December to:

  • Consolidate high-interest credit cards before year-end

  • Pay CRA tax arrears to avoid penalties

  • Cover renovation or repair costs

  • Handle business cash-flow gaps

  • Resolve probate or estate matters

  • Fund divorce buyouts before January filings

  • Stop mortgage arrears or power of sale actions

Instead of juggling multiple debts, they simplify everything into one structured solution.

Why Private Mortgages Make Sense at Year-End

Private lending isn’t about desperation — it’s about timing and control.

✔ Same-Day Approvals

Many files are approved the same day, with funding in 24–48 hours.

✔ Bad Credit Is Not a Deal Breaker

Missed payments, collections, or a recent bank decline?

We focus on equity, not credit scores.

✔ Self-Employed Friendly

No T4s? Irregular income? Business owners welcome.

✔ Short-Term, Strategic Solutions

Private mortgages are designed with clear exits, not long-term traps.
