Mortgage Renewals Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Saskatoon's Top Mortgage Broker
Mortgages come up for renewal at maturity. Maturity is when your mortgage term ends. At that time the lender will send to you renewal documents. Each lender is different in their timing but you should typically look at your mortgage renewal 120 days prior to renewal. This will allow you time to review the interest rates and if required, time to move to another lender with perhaps a better product and better rate. Most lenders and rates are able to be locked in 120 days prior to maturity.

Completion – on maturity date so that there is no penalty to be paid.
Ratehold – is automatic after scenarios are completed and I have had my phone discussion with you.
Live Submission – occurs when you have a firm purchase offer (accepted by the seller). Typically 5 business days are given to complete approval of financing.
Possession – at least 10 days after approval of financing is what the lenders require to instruct the deal to the lawyer and for the lawyer to complete their due diligence.
