Mortgage renewal
and switch
See how your renewal offer compares before you sign it. I’ll compare options from multiple lenders and help you find a mortgage that fits your budget, whether you stay with your lender or switch.
Plan for your next mortgage payment
I’ll estimate your new payment and show you how it compares with what you pay today. We’ll compare options around your budget, so you leave room for expenses and savings.
Compare mortgage terms and features
I’ll compare the features that matter to you, including the rate, borrowing costs and your options for extra payments.
Interest rate and term
Compare fixed and variable rates, term lengths and payment options to find a mortgage that suits your budget.
Extra payments
See how much extra you could pay each year, through lump sums or higher payments, so you can pay down your mortgage faster without going over the limits.
Moving and flexibility
If you might move, compare whether you could take the mortgage with you and what it would cost to end your term early.
Repayment period
Choose a repayment period that balances manageable payments with your goals and total interest.
Find out whether switching is worth it
I’ll weigh the costs and savings of switching, including:
- The interest you could save.
- Transfer and appraisal fees.
- Any costs a new lender would cover.
Then I’ll give you a clear recommendation, so you can start your next term knowing it’s the right fit.
Get support through your switch
We’ll work through the application together, so you know what the lender needs and what happens next.
A clear document checklist
I’ll tell you which documents to gather and check for anything missing before I submit your application.
Clarity on qualifying
I’ll review your income, debts and credit before you apply, so you know where you stand and which options suit you.
Less to coordinate
I’ll handle communication with the lender, from submitting your application to following up on questions and outstanding requirements.
Clear updates along the way
I’ll keep you updated on your application, what needs your attention and what to expect before the transfer.
Questions about renewing or switching
When should I start reviewing my renewal?
Get in touch a few months before your term ends, even if your renewal letter hasn’t arrived. If your renewal is sooner, we’ll review the options that fit your timeline.
Do I have to switch lenders after a renewal review?
No. A review lets you compare offers, with no obligation to switch. If your current lender’s offer suits you better, staying may be the right choice.
Will I need to qualify again with a new lender?
Yes. A new lender needs to approve your application. I’ll review your income, debts and credit beforehand to find suitable options.
Can I switch before my mortgage term ends?
You may be able to, but ending a closed mortgage early usually means paying a prepayment penalty. I’ll compare that penalty and other switching costs with what you could save, so you can decide whether to switch now or wait.
Will reviewing my renewal affect my credit score?
Your first conversation doesn’t require a credit check. A formal application may involve a check that can affect your score. I’ll explain what the lender needs and ask for your consent first.
What do I need for our first conversation?
A renewal offer or recent mortgage statement helps, but you don’t need everything ready. We can start with your questions.
Can I borrow more for renovations when I renew?
Possibly. Adding funds usually means refinancing, and the lender will look at your home equity and finances. I’ll show you how much you could borrow, the estimated payments and the total borrowing cost.
Let’s talk about your renewal
You don’t need your renewal letter to get in touch. Tell me when your term ends or what’s on your mind, and we can start there.
A first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
