🔄 Renewal Coming Up? Don't Auto-Renew

Your Renewal Is Leverage.
Use It.

Your mortgage renewal is the single most powerful negotiating moment you'll have — and most Canadians leave money on the table by letting their existing lender auto-renew them. I shop every option at renewal to reduce your rate, restructure your term, and lower your payment.

What Auto-Renewal Actually Costs You

Your current lender is betting you won't shop around. Here's what's usually on the table if you do.

💰

Auto-Renewal Rates Run High

Lenders often renew you at a posted rate well above what a new client — or a competing lender — would receive.

Break Penalty Math

Breaking early has a cost, but it's frequently smaller than the interest you'd save. I run the real numbers before you decide.

📉

Consolidate at Renewal

Renewal is a natural point to roll high-interest debt into your mortgage without a separate refinance transaction.

Renewal & Refinance FAQ

When should I start shopping my mortgage renewal?

Start 4-6 months before your maturity date. This gives enough time to compare lenders and lock a rate before your renewal letter deadline.

Is there a penalty to switch lenders at renewal?

No. At true maturity (the end of your term), you can switch lenders with no break penalty, though there may be minor legal and discharge fees.

Should I break my mortgage early to refinance?

It depends on the penalty versus the interest savings. I calculate both scenarios so you can see the real numbers before deciding.

Should I choose fixed or variable at renewal?

It depends on your risk tolerance, the current rate environment, and how long you plan to stay in the mortgage. I walk through both scenarios with you.

How much could refinancing at renewal save me?

It varies by mortgage size and rate difference, but even a small rate reduction can save thousands over a term. I'll show you the exact number for your file.
