The pros and cons of refinancing your mortgage
Why switching to a new mortgage lender is always worth considering
AI summary
Refinancing your mortgage involves getting a new loan, often with a different lender, to pay off your existing one. This can help you secure a better interest rate, get a cash incentive, or release equity for other projects.
While beneficial, be aware of potential costs like break fees for fixed-rate loans, lawyer fees, and incentive clawbacks. Experts recommend an annual mortgage review, and a mortgage broker can help you compare options across different lenders.
