If your application is denied by more than two financial partners, the NHT will process your application in keeping with its loan underwriting criteria.

Loans to:

  • Buy a house or lot being sold by a person or agency other than the NHT 
  • Build a house 
  • Improve or expand a home

As at August 1, 2023, the partners are Scotiabank, National Commercial Bank and COK Sodality Co-opperative Credit Union. Other institutions will be included at a later date.

Only the points of the primary applicant will be used for selection. So, ensure that the person with the highest points is the primary applicant.
