Mortgage renewals refer to the process of renewing your existing mortgage agreement with your
current lender or switching to a new lender at the end of your mortgage term. When your mortgage
term (which is typically 2, 3, 5, or more years) comes to an end, you have the option to renew your
mortgage for another term or explore different mortgage options.
How a mortgage renewal works
Your notice to renew your mortgage typically arrives in the mail 4 to 6 months before your renewal
date. It will include several terms and competitive rate options. This is your time to evaluate your
financial situation and goals to understand what you will need in the duration of your next term.
It is also an excellent opportunity to access your home’s equity to put towards renovations, education,
or simply saving more by lowering your monthly mortgage payment.
