Mortgage refinancing in Northwest Territories

How a mortgage refinance is priced and assessed in Northwest Territories depends on the product and on the provincial rules that sit over it.

This page covers mortgage refinance for Northwest Territories residents, and it carries the provincial rule alongside the product description.

The product in plain terms

Mortgage refinancing: Replacing an existing mortgage to change the rate, the term or the amount borrowed, and what it costs.

Refinancing replaces an existing mortgage to change the rate, the term or the amount, and the property remains the security.

The asset is the lender's fallback, so the price is usually lower than for an unsecured equivalent.

A secured product names an asset, and the lender registers or holds a claim against it.
