Home/Renewal & switch

Renew or switch? See both, with costs.

Have a broker shop your renewal.

Renewal offers are rarely a lender's best rate. A broker runs your file across the market and handles the switch paperwork if moving wins.

What a licensed mortgage professional does
  • Switch paperwork handled for you
  • Told plainly if staying wins

Illustrative comparison based on your inputs, using Canadian semi-annual compounding over the selected term. Not an offer of credit. Renewal and switch rates and eligibility are set by the lender. Confirm your exact figures before deciding.
