Brampton Information ...
Brampton is one of Canada’s largest and fastest growing cities. The City of Brampton takes immense pride in its diverse community, culture and heritage. Consumer growth and commercial development have transformed what was primarily a rural area 150 years ago into a dynamic community where history mingles with modern infrastructure, lush green landscapes, an extensive sport and recreation network and a spirited arts community. As Canada’s Flower City, Brampton showcases some of the most interesting and beautiful flowerbeds and floral displays in the province. In 2008, Brampton was the International award winner in the prestigious Communities in Bloom Competition. We were honoured to receive the highest score in recognition of our innovative work to create a beautiful living landscape. Not only a beautiful city, Brampton has been recognized as a global leader in community safety, being the first municipality in the Greater Toronto Area, and one of only 10 in North America, to be designated as an International Safe Community by the World Health Organization. With a current population of more than 450,000 people, Brampton’s young and diverse multicultural mosaic represents more than 175 distinct ethnic backgrounds. Our diversity is mirrored in an eclectic mix of restaurants and boutiques, festivals, performing and visual arts, museums, outstanding educational institutions, and abundant recreational opportunities facilitated by over 6,000 acres of parkland and open space. For visitors to Brampton, recreational play, cultural experiences and community festivals are never far away. Come experience Everything Brampton! 
Financing Your Home >Early Loan Approval
Many lenders help prospective buyers get pre-approved for a mortgage loan before the buyers begin a serious house-hunting effort. If you are in this position, give the loan officer all of the information about your assets, income, and debts so they can tell you how much you will be able to borrow under the available loan options. The loan officer will do a credit check and work with the lender to straighten out any problems with your credit rating.
Pre-approval from a lender can make you more attractive to the seller when you find the home you want. Multiple offers sometimes come in on a house, and you may find yourself competing with other buyers. In that case, it is helpful if you have included a letter from the lender with your offer stating that you have an approved loan and are, indeed, qualified to buy. This will also save you time by eliminating from consideration any homes that you would not be able to afford.
