The pros and cons of refinancing your mortgage
Why switching to a new mortgage lender is always worth considering
AI summary
Refinancing your mortgage means getting a new loan, often with a new lender, to pay off your current one. This can help you secure a better interest rate, access cash incentives, or release home equity for other projects.
It differs from restructuring (changing your loan's setup with your current lender) or refixing (choosing a new fixed term). While beneficial, potential costs include break fees, incentive clawbacks, and legal fees. An annual mortgage review is recommended.
