The pros and cons of refinancing your mortgage
Why switching to a new mortgage lender is always worth considering
AI summary
Refinancing your mortgage involves getting a new loan, often with a new lender, to pay off your current one. This is different from restructuring (changing your loan setup) or refixing (choosing a new rate).
People refinance to get a better deal, such as a lower interest rate, a cash incentive, or to release equity for other projects. However, consider potential costs like break fees, lawyer fees, and valuation fees. An annual review with a mortgage broker can simplify the process.
