Renew & Refinance · Toronto & Ontario
Renew with clarity.
Refinance with
a reason.
Your mortgage may be ready for a new term. Or your life may be ready for a different plan.
Before you sign, let’s compare the payment, the full cost and the flexibility you may need next. Staying with your current lender can be the right answer, too.
A conversation first. No application needed to get started.
Your starting point
What needs to change?
Compare the offer, the terms and the cost of switching.
Plan for renovations, debt or your next property move.
Look beyond the payment before making a change.
Useful to have: your mortgage statement, renewal date and what you want to change. You don’t need everything ready to start.
Start with the right question
A renewal and a refinance
are different decisions.
One is about your next term. The other is about changing the financing. We’ll work out which conversation you need.
01 / Approaching renewal
Does this mortgage
still work for me?
A renewal is a chance to compare your current lender’s offer with other options before committing to a new term.
- Understand the proposed payment and term.
- Review repayment privileges and restrictions.
- Weigh the cost and requirements of switching.
- Account for a move, renovation or income change.
02 / Considering a change
Would refinancing
solve the right problem?
Refinancing may help you access equity or change your mortgage structure. The benefit needs to justify the costs and added commitments.
- Plan financing for a renovation.
- Review debt and monthly cash-flow pressure.
- Explore equity for a future property purchase.
- Adapt the financing to a change in your life.
The part worth slowing down for
A smaller payment is not
the same as a lower cost.
Monthly relief matters. So does what you give up to get it.
01 / CASH FLOW
What changes each month?
Look at the combined payment picture, not just the mortgage. What room would a change create, and what would you use it for?
02 / TOTAL COST
What does the change cost?
Compare interest, any prepayment penalty, legal and appraisal fees, and the time needed to repay the debt. A longer repayment period can mean more interest.
03 / FUTURE FLEXIBILITY
What happens if life changes?
Consider plans to move, make extra payments or borrow again. A mortgage that fits today should also account for what may happen next.
Equity is not free money.
Consolidating debt into a mortgage does not erase it. The debt becomes secured against your home, which can be at risk if you cannot repay it. The repayment plan matters as much as the new payment.
Mortgage Cash Flow Review
Bring the question.
We’ll work through
the decision.
You don’t need a perfect spreadsheet or a lender picked out. Start with what is changing and what you want the mortgage to do.
01
Understand where you stand
Your balance, rate, payment, renewal date, other debts and upcoming plans.
02
Compare realistic choices
Renew, switch, refinance or wait. Include the costs and lender requirements, not just a rate.
03
See the trade-offs clearly
What changes now, what it may cost over time and how it fits your next move.
04
Leave with a useful next step
A recommendation you understand. Sometimes that means leaving the mortgage alone.
Before we talk
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Every mortgage has its own terms. These are starting points, not a promise of approval or savings.
When should I review my renewal?
Start a few months before your term ends. That gives you time to compare offers and complete any steps needed to change lenders. If your renewal is close, reach out with the date.
Do I have to change lenders?
No. Staying may make sense. We can compare your current offer with alternatives and account for switching costs before deciding.
Can I refinance before my term ends?
It may be possible, subject to qualification and your mortgage terms. A prepayment penalty and other costs can change the result. We’ll review those before recommending a move.
What should I have ready?
A recent mortgage statement, your renewal offer if you have one, approximate debt balances and a clear idea of what you want to change. Please don’t send sensitive documents through the contact form.
