We help you factor in all necessary details for refinancing your mortgage.

By refinancing your loan you're performing a complete overhaul so you do not need to agree to a loan with similar terms. If you initially went with a fixed-rate you have the absolute freedom of choosing any other type of mortgage loan. However, understand that refinancing can be tricky, and you should keep our tips in mind when considering it.

Common Mistakes

    Have sufficient insurance in place
    Your mortgaging bank and lender will require specific insurance in place. Make sure you understand that your mortgage bank requires and enough insurance in place for mortgage funding purposes. Some of the common required insurance coverages are:
    • Full replacement cost of the property for the following coverages*:
      • Fire
      • Flood
      • Sewer backup
      • Earthquake
    • Having a mortgage lined up will ensure that you have enough financial assurance to complete the purchase.
    • Any delay in the completion of your new home will mean you are in breach of your contractual terms, and the seller is entitled to ask for additional compensation for the delay.

    Refinancing too often
    Not only does this mean that you are subject to additional legal fees, it also means that you will need to repurchase title insurance coverage for the new lender.
