Required Documents for Grenada Mortgage Application
You will need to submit the following documents to most financial institutions in Grenada when applying for a mortgage:
- Valid photo identification (e.g., passport, driver’s license, or National ID card)
- Proof of income (e.g., a job letter, work contract, or your most recent paystub)
- A copy of the Title documents or Deeds of Conveyance provided by the seller
- Property valuation provided by an approved valuator
- An agreement for sale that states the property’s purchase price
- Bank statements showing any existing loan balances
If you are seeking financing for a new-construction home, you will also need to provide:
- An approved building plan
- A detailed estimate of construction costs
Additional Documents Needed to Receive a Grenada Mortgage
Depending on the type of property you’re purchasing and your financial institution’s procedures, you may need to provide additional information at a later date. This can include:
- The most recent property tax receipt
- Lease rent receipts (for leased properties)
- Two references for your builder (if the builder is not already known to your lender)
- A builder’s contract (if your loan is financing a new-construction home)
- Evidence of full life insurance
Standard Terms and Conditions of Grenada Mortgages
Some financial institutions may expect a downpayment of up to 25% from non-national buyers. National buyers, however, may have the option to put down as little as 10%, depending on their current credit history. Putting less than 20% down can result in the additional monthly cost of Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). However, if your home value is appreciating, PMI can be eliminated in a few years through refinancing. Your debt-income ratio should not exceed 40%, and most reputable lenders will not approve a loan if it means that your debt will exceed 40% of your gross income.
