Reasons for Refinancing: Lower Interest Rates, Access Equity and Change in Mortgage Terms. Refinancing a mortgage replaces your current mortgage with a new one, often to access better terms, lower interest rates, or to borrow additional funds against the equity in your home.
Apply for Refinancing :
- Provide the necessary financial documents and information about your property.
- Appraisal and Approval: The lender may require a new appraisal of your home to determine its current value. If approved, they'll offer you new terms and conditions for the refinanced mortgage.
- Closing: Once terms are agreed upon, you'll sign the new mortgage documents and the funds will be disbursed to pay off your existing mortgage (if applicable) and any additional funds you've requested.
Costs and Considerations :
- Closing Costs: Expect to pay fees for appraisal, legal fees, title insurance, and potentially a penalty if you're breaking your existing mortgage term early.
- Penalties: Breaking your current mortgage before its term ends can result in prepayment penalties, so it's essential to factor these costs into your decision.
