A first condo, a move-up house, or a renewal coming due — Deepinder Sidhu is a trusted mortgage broker who compares Coquitlam mortgage options across 30+ lenders and gives you a number you can genuinely plan around.
Coquitlam runs from Burquitlam towers to Westwood Plateau houses and Maillardville character homes, and lenders treat each differently. Knowing which category a property falls into — and which lender is comfortable with it — is most of what changes the outcome on a Coquitlam mortgage.
Most enquiries here fall into a handful of services: first-time purchases, move-up buyers needing bridge financing between two closings, refinancing to fund a renovation or consolidate debt, and renewals. Trades and self-employed income is well represented locally and gets documented the way lenders want to see it.
If you are deciding who the best mortgage broker in Coquitlam is for your file, the useful question is how many lenders they can actually reach. Deepinder Sidhu compares more than 30, and the funding lender pays the commission on a standard residential deal — not you.
Purchases, renewals, refinancing and equity take-outs across the whole city.

Twenty minutes on what you are trying to do and by when. Nothing is pulled, nothing is signed, and there is no cost.
Income, credit, debts and down payment assessed at the qualifying rate — the stress-test rate every lender must use, which sits above the rate you are actually offered. That is why the figure a lender will advance is lower than an online calculator suggests, and why the number you plan around should come from here.
Fixed or variable, term length, prepayment privileges, and the penalty formula that applies if life changes mid-term. The penalty clause is worth more attention than most people give it.
One set of documents, sent to the lenders most likely to approve your file well. I negotiate rate and conditions rather than accepting the first quote.
Coordination with your notary or lawyer through to funding, then a check-in before renewal so the next term is shopped too.
A pre-approval based on documents rather than estimates. It is still conditional on the property and the appraisal — no honest broker will tell you otherwise — but the part that depends on you is settled before you write an offer.
If you are selling and buying, the dates and any bridge financing get planned together rather than patched at the last minute.
Two mortgages at the same rate can differ by thousands if you break them early. You will know which one you are signing.
The funding lender pays the commission. If a file needs a fee-based solution, you get the number up front.
From the SkyTrain corridor up to the Plateau.
My offices are in Surrey and White Rock. Most Coquitlam files are handled by phone, email and e-signature — quicker than a drive across the region — with in-person meetings available when you prefer them.
Your purchase usually completes before your sale funds, and bridge financing covers the gap. It is arranged with the same lender as your new mortgage and is straightforward when the sale is firm. What causes problems is leaving it until the week of completion, so tell me your dates as soon as both offers are accepted.
Not usually for a standard house on a standard lot. Where it can matter is larger or steeply sloped properties, homes on septic or well, and acreage near the edges of the city — those narrow the list of lenders and sometimes change the appraisal requirements. Send me the address and I will tell you if yours falls into that group.
Yes. It takes more documentation — typically two years of filed returns and notices of assessment, plus business records — and lenders vary widely in how they treat business income and write-offs. There are also lenders who work from bank-statement deposits rather than declared income, which suits some business owners considerably better.
For an owner-occupied home the minimum is 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the portion above that. Since December 2024 the insured-mortgage price cap has been $1.5 million, so above that figure a mortgage cannot be insured and 20% down is required. Below 20% the mortgage must be insured, and that premium is added to the balance rather than paid up front. Rental properties require 20%. Where the money comes from matters too — gifted funds and savings are documented differently.
That depends on your tolerance for a payment that moves and on how long you plan to hold the mortgage, not on a prediction about rates. What I can do is show you both side by side with your actual numbers, including what each one costs to break early, so the choice is made on evidence rather than a guess.
Often, but not always. Switching involves a little paperwork and sometimes small discharge costs, so the saving has to be real to justify it. Send me the renewal offer and I will compare it against what else is available and tell you honestly if your current lender is already competitive.
Not on standard residential mortgages — the lender pays the commission. Private or alternative lending can carry a fee, and you would be told the exact amount before any work started.
