What is mortgage refinancing?


Mortgage refinancing is the process of replacing an existing mortgage with a new one. This can be done to obtain a lower interest rate, to access equity in a property, or to consolidate debt.



What are the benefits of refinancing my mortgage?

Refinancing your mortgage can have several benefits, including:



  • Lower interest rates: Refinancing can allow you to secure a lower interest rate, which can save you money over the life of your mortgage.
  • Access to equity: Refinancing can give you access to the equity in your home, which you can use for other real estate expenses, such as home renovations or paying off high-interest debt.
  • Consolidation of debt: Refinancing can allow you to consolidate high-interest debt into a lower-interest mortgage, which can save you money on interest payments.


When is the right time to refinance my mortgage?


The right time to refinance your mortgage depends on your individual financial circumstances. Some factors to consider include:


  • Your current interest rate: If your current interest rate is high, it may be a good time to refinance to obtain a lower rate.
  • Your financial goals: If you have a specific financial goal, such as paying off high-interest debt or making home renovations, refinancing may help you achieve that goal. 
  • ​​​​​​​The current market: If interest rates are low, it may be a good time to refinance.


What are the costs associated with refinancing my mortgage?​​​​​​​


There are several costs associated with refinancing your mortgage, including:

  • Appraisal fee: This fee covers the cost of having your property appraised to determine its value.
  • Legal fees: You will need to pay legal fees to have the necessary documents prepared and to have the mortgage registered on title.
  • Discharge fee: If you are refinancing before the end of your mortgage term, you may need to pay a discharge fee to your current lender.
  • Prepayment penalty: If you have a closed mortgage, you may need to pay a prepayment penalty to your current lender if you are refinancing before the end of your mortgage term.


What documents do i need to refinance my mortgage?


The specific documents you will need to refinance your mortgage will depend on your individual circumstances. However, some common documents that you may need to provide include:


  • Proof of income: This can include pay stubs, tax returns, and other documentation that shows your income.
  • Property documents: You will need to provide documents that prove you own the property, such as the deed and title insurance.
  • Mortgage statement: You will need to provide a statement from your current lender that shows your current mortgage balance and interest rate.
  • Credit report: Your lender will likely require a credit report to determine your creditworthiness. 


do i need a lawyer to refinance my mortgage?


It's highly recommended to have a lawyer when refinancing your mortgage. A lawyer can provide valuable guidance and advice throughout the refinancing process, including reviewing your mortgage documents, ensuring that all legal requirements are met, and representing your interests in any negotiations with your lender.
