Renewing or refinancing

Your bank is counting on you not to shop around.

Renewal season

The do's & do-not's of renewing

Do this

  • Start shopping 120 days before your renewal date
  • Compare the whole market, not just your bank's letter
  • Ask whether consolidating debt improves cash flow
  • Have us run the break-penalty math before deciding

Avoid this

  • Auto-signing the first renewal offer that arrives
  • Assuming switching lenders is too much hassle
  • Refinancing for a tiny rate gain that the penalty eats
  • Ignoring the renewal until the deadline forces your hand
Questions

Renewal & refinance FAQ

Frequently, yes. At straight renewal there's usually no penalty to switch, and a lower rate from another lender can save thousands over the term. We handle the paperwork so the switch is effortless.

It depends on your lender and whether you're fixed or variable. We calculate your exact penalty (IRD or three months' interest) and only recommend breaking early when the savings clearly outweigh it.

If you have sufficient equity (typically up to 80% of your home's value), you can refinance to consolidate high-interest debt into one lower mortgage payment — often dramatically improving monthly cash flow.

About 120 days before your maturity date. That lets us hold a rate while we shop, so you're protected if rates rise and free to take a better deal if one appears.
