When Would I Have A Penalty?

When would I have a penalty?

Penalties may be avoidable with the right planning, the right mortgage and diligent tracking of prepayments.

You may be charged a penalty if you:

  • Pay your mortgage off before for the maturity date
  • Pay more than your prepayment privileges allow.
  • Refinance your borrowing before your maturity date and break your term in the process.
  • Transfer your mortgage to another financial institution before your maturity date.
  • Early renew your mortgage and break your term before your maturity date and there is no cost-free right to do so in the mortgage.

Always consult your mortgage disclosure and/or your mortgage professional when deciding what product is right for you.  Review your mortgage disclosure/ documentation to understand the terms and conditions that relate to your mortgage.
