Thinking about switching your mortgage?
“A mortgage transfer is the process of moving your mortgage over from one lender to another,” says Chris Saffie, Personal Banking Manager at Cambrian.
“You usually do this when your mortgage is up for maturity at the end of your term, but in some circumstances, you might want to switch sooner – for example, to refinance your mortgage to pay for renovations or to take advantage of a better offer.”
We met with Chris to talk about how mortgage transfers work, and why you should switch your mortgage to Cambrian!
A few common reasons why you might do so include:
“If you’re breaking your mortgage term, you may want to check with your lender what the penalty will be,” says Chris.
“When you transfer a mortgage before it reaches maturity, a typical pre-payment penalty could be 3 months of interest or the interest rate differential. It's best to check with your current lender to confirm.”
“Make sure you’re striking the balance between getting the best rate, the prepayment terms you need, and the mortgage term that suits your financial goals. We can check if it’s feasible to make the switch now, or if it’s better to wait out the end of your term.”
“If your existing mortgage is maturing, you can move it to Cambrian for free, because we cover your transfer fees.”
