Before starting the legwork on a switch, there are a couple of questions we need to answer first. Have your circumstances changed since you originally got your mortgage? Are you wanting to borrow more money? Have circumstances around the property changed? We also have to find out if the move is even possible first. This can usually be done by pre-qualifying you over the phone with an easy 15 minute call.

If you’re paying out your mortgage early by switching to a new lender, you may be subject to a penalty. In order to find out if the switch will save you money, we need to know how much the penalty will be.
Here’s the easiest way of doing this – and you don’t even have to call your bank! With the information from a recent mortgage statement, you’ll be able to do the calculation using your lender’s online calculator. (All lenders are required by the government of Canada to publish mortgage prepayment calculations.) Important note – you will need to make sure you have the “initial bonus” rate that the bank gave you, as this number will determine your overall penalty. This information can be found on your original mortgage documents.
We can definitely help you with this step. Just ask! Also, it may be prudent to call your lender and confirm the penalty, just to be sure.
One important note – if you have a fixed rate mortgage with one of the “big 5″ banks, your penalty may be much higher than you expect. This all depends on how long you have left in your term, and the original discount applied at the start of your mortgage.

Once we have all the numbers gathered – your mortgage balance and your penalty, we will do some math on our end to determine if switching will be worth it. Basically, we find out if the interest savings over the remainder of the term will outweigh the penalty you’ll pay. We will then present you with your options backed up by amortization schedules.

The USA Goes To The Polls. Not to be overly dramatic, but today’s US election really is one of those singular events that could have a huge impact on our Canadian economy, in a variety of ways. I’ve scoured over the Globe and Mail’s long Saturday article describing how the election will effect our economy, […]
Tuesday’s inflation announcement was a watershed moment for interest rates, and interest rate expectations. If you are applying for a variable mortgage, you’ll want to keep reading. What Happened? For the first time since February 2021, inflation finally came below the BoC’s target rate of 2.00%. The inflation rate actually dived well below the BoC […]
