Consider refinancing when interest rates have dropped significantly, your fixed rate period is ending, your financial situation has improved, or you want to access equity. A general rule is refinancing may be worthwhile if you can save at least 0.5% on your rate.
Refinancing costs may include discharge fees from your current lender ($150-$400), application fees with the new lender ($0-$600), valuation fees ($200-$600), and government fees for mortgage registration. Many lenders offer cashback or fee waivers to offset these costs.
Refinancing typically takes 4-8 weeks from application to settlement. The process involves applying with a new lender, property valuation, loan approval, and settlement where your old loan is paid out and the new one begins.
