Renewing your mortgage is as important a financial decision as selecting your first one. At The Mortgage Firm, we can help you get the most out of your mortgage renewal. Your home equity grows over a period of time and by decreasing your principal loan balance, you are in a good position to negotiate. However, many people sign their existing Institution’s mortgage renewal form without trying to get a better deal on the new mortgage. This results in a higher rate and a mortgage package that does not cater to your individual needs. As your mortgage professional, I can help you renegotiate your mortgage and get a better deal that suits your needs.
Interest rates: Check the current interest rates being offered by the lender and compare them with rates from other lenders to make sure you are getting the best deal.
Fees and penalties: Make sure you understand the fees and penalties associated with renewing your mortgage with your current lender, including any prepayment penalties.
Term length: Consider the length of the term being offered by the lender and whether it aligns with your future plans for the property.
Payment flexibility: Check if the lender offers payment flexibility, such as the ability to increase or decrease payments or make additional payments without penalty.
Customer service: Consider the level of customer service offered by the lender and their reputation in the industry to ensure that you will receive support throughout the renewal process.
