Mortgage Renewal & Refinancing
If you currently hold a mortgage, your lender will likely offer you a slight discount over the posted interest rates at the end of your current term, which sounds convenient. However, agreeing to a new term without weighing your options could cost you thousands over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between fixed rate mortgages and variable rate mortgages?
A fixed rate mortgage features a constant annual interest rate, which means that your interest rate and regular mortgage payment will be the same throughout your entire mortgage term. Fixed rate mortgages make it easier to budget because they provide cost certainty.
On the other hand, with variable rate mortgages your payments will move up and down based on current interest rates and market conditions.
How are “open” mortgages different from “closed” mortgages?
An open term mortgage provides the freedom and flexibility to pay off your mortgage faster because you can make additional payments towards your mortgage principal without incurring a prepayment charge. With mortgage prepayment options at your disposal, you can save on interest charges by paying down the principal faster.
In contrast, closed term mortgages have stricter conditions when it comes to prepayment, however, they come with lower interest rates than “open” mortgages, so they can be easier to manage.
Are there ways to pay off a mortgage early without incurring prepayment charges?
Although mortgages are generally offered with a 25-year term, there are ways to pay off your mortgage early and save thousands in the process.
Certain mortgages allow the borrower to increase the amount of their mortgage payments on an annual basis,
Another option is to pay down the principal faster through accelerated payments. Should you opt for weekly or bi-weekly payments, the new payment structure can translate to one extra monthly payment per year (or more), so you can be mortgage free sooner and save big on interest payments in the process.
A third option to pay down your mortgage faster is to make lump sum payments when the opportunity becomes available, up to your eligible prepayment privilege amount, to help pay down the principal.
Finally, all mortgages become open when it is time for renewal, so you can use this opportunity to make a lump-sum payment to reduce your total mortgage amount, save a great deal in interest over the amortization period and become mortgage-free much sooner.
Note that certain mortgage repayment options, such as prepayment privileges or accelerated monthly payments, are only available with certain types of mortgages, so speak with a John Antle Mortgage Broker to find the options that work for your situation. which can help pay down the principal much more quickly.
