Renewing A Mortgage

Majority of the usual mortgage applicants or simply those whose mortgages are up for renewal tend to be hasty in signing forms, sending it back to the respective lender.

If you want to renew your mortgage or perhaps switch to another lender who could give you a better rate, you should know that most lenders now offer “no cost” or “low cost” switches. This is a smart and better way in reducing your interest costs. We can take care of all the details, as well as negotiate on your behalf with your existing lender—even find you a new one with competitive rates.


Don can help you find the best product tailor-fitted to your needs, and at the best rate possible! We will do all the research you’ll need to help you avoid the confusion and frustration of going through all the options available.

What type of mortgage should you choose? These are some things to keep in mind:

Long-Term Mortgages

Any term longer than 3 years is considered as “long term.” Because long-term rates are often higher than short-term rates, you may not want to choose this option. However, locking you in will help you avoid exposure to rate increases. can assist you and help identify if this option is suited for you.

Split-Term Mortgages

A split-term allows you to minimize you interest rate. An example of splitting is when you’re given a $200,000 mortgage, splitting into an even 40,000 segment, each with terms of 6 months, 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-year terms negotiated at the current best rates. Too much information at once? Talk with us!

Mortgage Payment Changes

Most mortgages now allow amortization to be adjusted by increasing payment on closed terms by 10–20% per year, once annually.

Mortgage Prepayment Options

Many lenders allow making a lump sum payment, usually 10–20% of the original balance. Also, many mortgage products include a “double up and skip-a-payment” feature. This feature allows you to save on extra mortgage payments, at which time you can “skip” payments if you need to. Ask Don for advice today!

Short-Term Risk and Variable

If you are prepared to take a risk, and current rates are low and stable, you can actually pay a lower rate with a short-term mortgage. You can simply choose your term for every 6 months or float your rate against prime with the option of locking into a longer term at a later date to play safe. This, however, is not for everyone as sudden rate movements can have an impact on your payments. Worry not if all these sounds alarming for Don can assist you and help identify if this option is suited for you.

Mortgage Payment Frequency

Presently, mortgages often come with the option to pay at a frequency that matches your cash flow, whether weekly, bi-weekly, or semi-monthly. A benefit of this “accelerated” weekly and bi-weekly payment is that by dividing a regular monthly payment into two and four, respectively, and deducting it at the new interval, extra payment against the principal is made per year.
