You want to count on making the same payment for your entire term.
With a fixed-rate mortgage, you get the same interest rate for the entire term of your mortgage, so you can count on making the same payment every month.
A re-advanceable feature allows you to diversify your interest rate risk by splitting your mortgage into Homeprime (variable rate) and fixed-rate components.
If you renew early and extend into your next term with us, you can get a blended rateᶲ between your existing rate and the market rate without a prepayment penalty. Take comfort in a rate you know today, rather than leaving it up to chance when your term is up.
Choice of payment frequency
Make payments weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, semi-monthly, accelerated weekly or accelerated bi-weekly. Paying more frequently will save you interest and shorten the time it takes to pay off your mortgage.
Options to prepay
Get some repayment flexibility, with options to prepay up to 20% of your original balance once per mortgage year and increase payments by up to 20% once per mortgage year.
Bring this mortgage with you if you move
When you buy a new home, you can transfer this mortgage to your new property and keep the same terms and conditions, including the interest rate.
Ability to assign the mortgage to another party
Transfer your mortgage with the original rates and terms to someone else. If you’re selling your home, this can give you a market advantage if current rates are higher than when you first took on your mortgage.
