How is it calculated?
Renewing and borrowing separately keeps the mortgage cheap but adds a costly loan; refinancing spreads the extra over the mortgage. We compare the monthly cost and the new loan-to-value.
What should I do with the result?
Use it to set a budget or a target rate, then let brokers and lenders bid on your actual mortgage. Bids include rate, penalty method, prepayment and fees, so you can compare the full cost.
Let a broker challenge your renewal offer
A licensed mortgage broker can compare your renewal letter against dozens of lenders in one bid, and on most prime renewals the lender pays the broker, so it costs you nothing. Why use a mortgage broker · Get broker and lender bids
