Mortgage agreements can have a term that does not fully cover the repayment of the loaned amount. A mortgage renewal is a financial agreement with a mortgage lender where you secure a new term for your loan that is approaching maturity. This new term will cover the next portion of your remaining loan and may in turn require a renewal when it matures. If you have a mortgage that won’t be fully paid off at the end of the term, you will need to get a mortgage renewal.
Your mortgage renewal is an opportunity for you to shop around with different lenders and negotiate the best deal for yourself. By planning ahead you can secure yourself a better rate and a more suitable loan structure. For all your mortgage renewal needs be sure to consult trusted and experienced mortgage professionals.

Commonly Asked Questions
How does mortgage renewal work?
A minimum of 21 days before the term of your mortgage is due to end, your current provider must provide you with a mortgage renewal offer or inform you if they will not be providing you with a renewal. You can shop around and apply for a renewal prior to this.
How long before mortgage renewal can you renew?
You should start the process of looking for a mortgage renewal 3 to 4 months before your term is due to finish. If you will be staying with your existing lender you should be able to renew up to 120 days ahead of time without penalty. If you are changing lender you can reach an agreement to switch over when the current term ends
Do mortgage payments go down when you renew?
When negotiating your mortgage renewal you can discuss changes in the payment amounts and structure with your lender. You may be able to come to an agreement that has a lower or less frequent payment structure. Similarly, you can negotiate other changes to your mortgage including any changes in the interest rate or attached insurance policies.
Do banks check credit for mortgage renewal?
With a mortgage renewal lenders need to be sure that you can make payments so they assess your finances, including your credit score, total debts, and income. If your renewal is denied by your current provider you can still shop around with other providers like trust companies and private lenders.
