Those searches are exploding in 2026 — and for good reason.
As banks tighten guidelines and deals stall, Lendworth is actively expanding its lending parameters across Niagara, Hamilton, and surrounding municipalities, giving homeowners and real estate investors access to capital when traditional lenders say no.
If you own property in Hamilton, Niagara Region, or nearby communities, this expansion matters — a lot.
Why Borrowers in Niagara & Hamilton Are Turning to Private Mortgages
The real estate market has shifted. But equity hasn’t disappeared — it’s just harder to unlock through the banks.
Across St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Welland, Grimsby, Thorold, and surrounding areas, homeowners are facing:
Bank mortgage renewals being reduced or declined
Appraisal values coming in lower than expected
Self-employed income being discounted
Construction and renovation financing cut mid-project
Investors unable to refinance maturing private loans
This is exactly where private mortgage lending in Niagara and Hamilton comes in.
Lendworth Is Expanding Lending Parameters in 2026
As our footprint grows across Hamilton and the Niagara Region, Lendworth is widening the box — not tightening it.
What’s Changing

Stronger appetite for value-add and transitional properties
Flexible structuring for bridge loans and refinancing
Faster approvals based on property equity, not bank checklists
More solutions for rural, mixed-use, and unique properties
