When you’re selling one home and buying the next, what do you do with your current mortgage? One option is to bring your mortgage with you to your next home, and also add to it if you need additional funds. In some cases breaking your mortgage and getting a new one may be the right choice. Speak with one of our mortgage planners to determine what is right for you.

Transfer your mortgage from home to home
- If it’s a port increase, you can borrow additional funds
- If it’s a port decrease, normal prepayment rules apply.
Break your existing mortgage and get a new one
A lower interest rate is the primary reason to break your mortgage and get a new one. Other reasons could include job relocation, or a growing family and needing a larger home.
While refinancing a mortgage could have some cost benefits for you, doing so could also result in your having to pay a variety of fees and/or penalties. For instance, if you break a closed mortgage, you will incur a pre-payment charge. In some cases, the interest rate savings may be worth paying the penalty on your existing mortgage.
Contact a Mortgage Planner for help getting a new mortgage or to discuss your options when selling one home and buying your next.
