Mortgage Renewal

Don't just renew. Compare.Your renewal is a decision point.

Your mortgage renewal is a decision point — not just a piece of paperwork. Before signing the offer from your existing lender, take a moment to see what else is available.

Your Renewal Is a Choice

The easiest option isn't always the best option.

When your lender sends a renewal offer, it can be tempting to sign and move on. But your mortgage may have changed since you first arranged it.

Your balance, income, goals, rate environment and plans for the next few years may all be different.

Before you sign, ask:

  • Is this the best rate available to me?
  • Does the term fit my plans?
  • Would another lender offer a better structure?
  • Do I need flexibility or different prepayment options?
  • Am I likely to need to refinance or borrow in the near future?
Compare Before You Commit

Renewal isn't about chasing a rate in isolation.

The right comparison looks at the mortgage as a whole.

Rate

Compare the offered rate with appropriate alternatives and understand what you're getting in return for the rate.

Term

Consider how long you want to commit based on your plans, expectations and tolerance for change.

Flexibility

Review prepayment privileges, portability and other features that can matter over the life of the mortgage.

Future Plans

If you may move, renovate, consolidate debt or change your borrowing needs, today's renewal choice can affect tomorrow's options.
