LPQ Amount
Definition
- A term used by CanEquity, it represents the amount to be financed based on the three types of inquiries received via an online mortgage application (Loan / Purchase / Qualification). 'Loan' can be for home improvements, debt consolidations or investment purposes and the applicant must be a homeowner to take out a mortgage loan. A 'Purchase' can be a first-time home buyer or a purchase of a new property; you do not have to own a home when making a purchase. Qualification is simply pre-qualifying or getting pre-approved for an X amount. When applications are submitted, the 'LPQ amount' is dependent on the type of mortgage inquiry. Typically a 'Loan' is a fixed amount that is always lower than the value of the home. 'Purchase' amount is the purchase price of the home/property and can be up to 100% of the value (down-payments are not factored at time of submission). 'Qualification' is considered a target value but may come back substantially lower (or higher in some cases). The 'LPQ amount' is a loose representation of the potential amount but rarely equates to the actual final amount of an online mortgage application.
