Here are some questions you could ask yourself when you think about a refinancing your mortgage in order to avoid penalties.
1. What are we talking about when we talk about interest rate differential in mortgage refinancing?
If we take as example the agreement with a major American bank, the interest rate differential is the difference between the interest rate for the current mortgage and the current interest rate charged on similar mortgage for the remaining term of refund.
This point is important because the lower the current interest rate level is, the higher is penalty.
2. Is the mortgage agreement has limits to early refund option without penalty?
Why ask this question? Because some agreement exclude the option of early refund without penalty if the partial refund is made the day of the full refund of the home mortgage. If this kind of penalty applies, it touches the balance.
3. What is the difference between posted interest mortgage rates and negotiated rates?
When you are negotiating to refinance your home, it is important to remember that negotiated rates must always be lower than the posted rate (otherwise, there is no negotiation, or you are negotiating in favor of the bank!)
4. If the current mortgage rate is the same as a negotiated rate, how has this ratio has been established?
The negotiated rates are rarely released, except during promotions.
