Home / Mortgage Refinance in Ajax & Durham Region
Build a refinance plan around your goal
Homeowners in Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa and the GTA may consider refinancing for renovations, restructuring debt or other borrowing needs. Start with the reason for borrowing and the amount required, then compare the mortgage options.
Review the complete cost
A smaller monthly payment does not necessarily mean a lower total cost. Compare the existing mortgage with the proposed balance, term and amortization. Include any mortgage-breaking penalty, appraisal, legal costs and other applicable charges in the decision.
Understand debt consolidation
Moving debt into a mortgage can change cash flow, but it also turns that borrowing into debt secured against your home. Repayment over a longer period can increase total interest. Review both the short-term payment and the long-term repayment plan before proceeding.
Prepare for your consultation

Frequently asked questions
What can mortgage refinancing be used for?
Common reasons include debt consolidation, renovations, major expenses, investment purposes or changing the existing mortgage structure.
Does refinancing always lower monthly payments?
No. It depends on the new balance, interest rate, amortization, fees and debts being repaid. The full cost and cash-flow impact should be compared.
Will there be a penalty to break my mortgage?
There may be. The amount depends on your existing mortgage terms and lender, so the penalty should be confirmed before making a decision.
