Below are typical questions and concerns you may encounter when considering a mortgage transfer:Will I pay a penalty if I transfer my mortgage?
You will not be subject to any fees or payout penalties if you are switching at mortgage renewal time. If your mortgage is still in the term there may be a penalty to switch, however, we have found that paying the penalty in many cases to change institutions to either get a lower rate or a better mortgage product has saved thousands for our clients.
What happens when I transfer my mortgage?
Once you are qualified, your current mortgage balance and the remaining amortization period are transferred to your new lender with your new interest rate in place.
When I do a mortgage transfer, can I refinance at the same time?
Yes. Without incurring fees, some lenders will permit you to refinance to the original mortgage amount while others have limits of between $1,000 and $4,000. You also have the option of doing a transfer with a total refinance but you will be subject to fees similar to that incurred with registering a new mortgage.
How long before my mortgage renewal comes up should I start the mortgage transfer process?
You should think about switching your mortgage between 90 and 120 days before your mortgage renewal. This gives ample time to complete the process.
