Mortgage Renewal

A mortgage renewal occurs when the current mortgage term expires, and the borrower must either agree to new terms with the same lender or switch to another lender. This is an opportunity to reassess the interest rate, payment schedule and term length to better align with current financial needs. Borrowers can negotiate a lower rate, change payment frequency, increase payments to pay off the loan faster or access additional funds by combining a renewal with refinancing.

Lighthouse Lending reviews the client’s existing mortgage terms against market offerings to determine if a better rate or more flexible conditions are available. They also guide borrowers through switching lenders when advantageous and help negotiate penalties or fees, ensuring that the renewed mortgage supports long‑term financial goals.
