No stress, no paperwork, no commitment.
A fixed-rate mortgage is considered secure because your interest rate will not change during the entire term you choose. This means you know exactly how much capital and interest you will pay over the life of the loan. Loan terms range from 6 months to 10 years. Fixed-rate mortgages allow you to repay a certain amount in advance, representing 10% to 25% of the initial loan balance each year, depending on the lender. If you wish to repay the entire balance of your mortgage, you will have to pay a penalty equal to 3 months’ simple interest or an interest rate differential. The advantage of this loan is that the interest rate is lower than that of a mortgage loan that can be repaid early. This option is popular with people who do not plan to repay their loan early during the chosen term.
