Renewing your mortgage involves a few key steps:
1. Review Your Current Mortgage:
Check your current mortgage terms, interest rate, and renewal date. This usually happens at the end of your mortgage term, often every 1 to 5 years, depending on the term you initially chose.
2. Consider Your Financial Situation:
Evaluate how your financial situation has changed since you first got your mortgage. This can affect the type of mortgage you choose upon renewal.
3. Negotiate Terms:
Once you've decided on a lender, negotiate the terms of your new mortgage, including the interest rate, payment schedule, and any other conditions.
4. Finalize the Renewal:
Sign the renewal agreement with your chosen lender before your current mortgage term expires to avoid higher rates or penalties.
5. Legal Considerations:
Some lenders may require legal documentation or a review of your financial situation, so be prepared for these requirements during the renewal process.
