Mortgage Refinancing in Hampton, NB

How to Compare Refinance Offers in Hampton

Two offers are only comparable if you set the amount and the term first. Once those are fixed, the differences that matter usually show up in the fees.

• The lender's complaint process and its regulator.
• Whether the lender is a bank, a credit union, or an alternative lender.
• Whether the rate is discounted for automatic payments.
• The cost of any optional insurance added to the loan.
• What happens to the rate if you refinance later.
• The APR, not just the advertised rate.

Confirm in writing that the lender is licensed to lend in your province, and keep a copy of the disclosure document.

What Is Mortgage Refinancing in Hampton

Refinancing replaces your existing mortgage with a new one, often to change the rate, term, or payment schedule, or to access home equity.

Amounts commonly run from $50,000 to $2,000,000, with a typical term of 5 to 30 years amortization. Those figures are a guide only: the lender sets its own limits, and the amount you are approved for depends on your income, credit history, and its lending policy.

Whatever the headline number, compare the total cost of borrowing rather than the monthly payment, and read the disclosure document before you sign.

When Refinancing Makes Sense in Hampton

Canadian borrowers have real choices when it comes to Mortgage Refinancing, and the differences between offers are usually in the fine print.

Write down the APR, the total cost of borrowing, and every fee, then compare the same amount and term across at least three lenders. Confirm the lender is licensed in your province, read the disclosure document before you sign, and keep a copy for your records.

Comparing offers properly means holding the amount and the term constant. Otherwise a longer term can look cheaper simply because the cost is spread over more years.

• What happens to the rate if you refinance later.
• The APR, not just the advertised rate.
• The total cost of borrowing in dollars.
• Administration, broker, insurance, and prepayment fees.
• Whether the loan is secured against an asset you could lose.
• Whether the payments are fixed or variable.

If a lender will not put the terms in writing, treat that as a reason to look elsewhere.
