Costs of Breaking or Refinancing a Mortgage in Middlesex Centre
Refinancing involves legal, appraisal, and discharge fees. Compare the total cost of the new mortgage against your current one.
Since 1 January 2025 the federal criminal rate of interest is 35% APR, down from roughly 48%. Lenders that charge more than that commit a criminal offence. Provincial rules can be stricter, particularly for payday lending.
The advertised rate is not the whole story. Ask for the annual percentage rate (APR) and the total cost of borrowing in dollars. Two offers with the same rate can cost different amounts once administration fees, insurance, and prepayment penalties are included.

- How long the lender takes to deposit funds after approval.
- Whether the rate is fixed for the whole term or can change.
- The payment date and how repayment is collected.
