When it comes to securing the best 5 year variable rate in Ontario, consumers tend to focus more on rates rather than choosing a mortgage that combine the best rate and total flexibility.
There are many factors that influence the rate you choose.
Here are a few pointers to keep in mind when discussing your mortgage with your broker or mortgage agent to ensure you have a better understanding right from the start:
- Is this an effective rate or the actual contract rate?
- If the proposed mortgage is an effective rate, what are the advantages and disadvantages between the two?
- Are there any restrictions if I proceed with the proposed mortgage rate?
- What are the prepayment options?
- What happens if I decide to sell the property during the term?
- Can I leave the lender during the term to refinance my mortgage elsewhere?
- How the lender calculates the penalty?
- Is the mortgage portable?
- Is the mortgage assumable?
