Porting Your Mortgage

What to know about porting a mortgage & why this is a smart financial move right now…

• Porting your mortgage involves moving your current mortgage over to a new property.
• It’s likely that your current interest rate on your home is lower than what is available today, so this is a great way to save.
• This method can also be a great way to avoid hefty penalties for breaking your mortgage term early.
• You will have to re-qualify to port your mortgage if your purchase amount is greater than your mortgage.
• Not all mortgages are portable. This is lender specific.
• If you are constructing a new mortgage and have plans to move again within the term of your mortgage, be sure to let your mortgage broker know so we can find a product that accommodates this option and allows for minimal fees.
