It’s essential to understand the mortgage renewal process before you sign anything—one small mistake could cost you thousands of dollars.  

Typically, 3-6 months before your mortgage term ends, your lender will send you a renewal notice, either by mail or email. The notice will prompt you to choose a new term by selecting an option. Once you sign it and return it, your new payments will be based on the updated rate they provide.  

   

Many home owners do not know that they are not locked into renewing with the same lender. You have the freedom to shop around and move your mortgage to a lender who offers better rates and terms that align with your needs. Many lenders offer higher rates on their client's mortgage renewals, hoping that you’ll just stay with them out of convenience.  

   

To make sure you’re getting the best deal, a quick conversation with a mortgage broker can make a world of difference. A knowledgeable broker will consider your current situation and future goals, helping you navigate your renewal with confidence. 

  

Switching lenders could be the right choice, especially if you want to benefit from lower rates without changing any other aspect of your mortgage. The new lender covers all the costs of switching to them, provided you’re not altering the mortgage amount or amortization.
