- Penalties
Breaking your mortgage early may involve a penalty — typically 3 months' interest or an IRD calculation. I'll help you determine if the savings outweigh the cost.
Equity requirements
Most lenders require at least 20% equity to refinance. Your home's current market value and remaining mortgage balance determine your available equity.
Qualification
You'll need to qualify under current rates and the stress test. Income, credit, and debt ratios all factor in — but there are options for many situations.
Costs
Refinancing may involve appraisal fees, legal fees, and discharge fees. I'll give you a clear breakdown so there are no surprises.
