Hi There
I was wondering if anyone out there was refinancing their property during a fixed term mortgage. We are disappointed with Soctia since at first they told the penalty would be $6,000 than once we made the appointment she figured it would actually be $11,600 at that time the rates were to drop and we wanted to know if it made sence to wait a couple of week to get a better rate the bank agreed it would be worth the wait, but never told us that the penaly would increase to $14,800. Now the rates have dropped again and I would expect the penalty to be at least $2000-$3000 more. One of our mortgages is at 5.79 and our term expires in 3.5 years the best blended rate they offered was 5.44 and we would have to sign a new 5 year term at that rate. Or is it better to pay the penaly and go for a 3.5 fixed for 5yrs. We would prefer just use the 16k to purchase another propery. Any thought please and thank you.
