Here is how our firm protects your interests during a mortgage refinance:
– Lender Instruction and Mortgage Document Review: We review your new lender’s instructions and prepare the Charge/Mortgage and related security documents.
– Updated Title Search: Fresh title and execution searches confirm your property is clear of liens, judgments or encumbrances that could prevent registration.
– Payout and Discharge of Existing Mortgages: We obtain payout statements, clear outstanding debts or arrears as required, and register formal discharges of old charges.
– Equity Disbursement: Once the new mortgage registers, we release net proceeds to your account or direct payments toward the debts you want consolidated.
– Lower Monthly Payments: We help you evaluate options like a lower rate or longer amortization that can ease your monthly cash flow.
– Current Mortgage Statement: Details your balance, lender and any early payout penalties.
– Property Tax Bill: Lenders require confirmation that property taxes are current.
– Government-Issued Identification: Verifies your identity for the transaction.
– Home Insurance Policy: Proof of full replacement-value coverage, as required by your lender.
– Income or Employment Confirmation: Some lenders ask for updated income verification before funding.
– Separation Agreement (if applicable): Needed when a separation affects the title or payout arrangements.

– Mortgage Discharge Fees: Charges from your current lender to remove the old mortgage, possibly including early payout penalties.
– Title Insurance: Required by most lenders and valuable protection for you against title issues and fraud.
– Registration Fees: Government fees for registering the new charge and discharging the old one.
– Appraisal Fees: Your lender may require a current appraisal to confirm the property’s value.

Yes. Refinancing replaces your existing mortgage with a new one, and a lawyer must discharge the old mortgage, register the new one on title, and run a fresh title search. Lenders require this legal work before they fund the new mortgage.
Your new lender will ask for income verification, property details, and a current mortgage statement. Your lawyer will need photo identification, your property tax bill, and your existing mortgage information to prepare the discharge and registration.
Yes. A fresh title search confirms no new liens, executions, or registrations have appeared on title since your purchase. Lenders require this updated search before they will fund a new mortgage.
It depends on your lender's approval timeline and how quickly documents are ready. Once your application is approved and we have your mortgage statement, tax bill, and identification, we move the legal work forward without delay and keep you updated throughout.
