Switching Your Mortgage
It's easier than you think and can save you money.
Make the move to a more comfortable mortgage experience with Tandia.
At Tandia Financial, we pride ourselves on our competitive rates and outstanding service. If you’re looking to switch your mortgage to Tandia, welcome! We aim to make this transition as simple and straightforward as possible.
Switching your mortgage is often a strategic decision to secure a lower interest rate or better terms – and bringing your mortgage to Tandia is always a great move! The best time to switch is when your current mortgage is coming up for renewal. Here are a few additional things to consider:
STEP 1: Assess Your Current Mortgage
The first step is to take a look at your current mortgage, including the rate and terms and remaining balance. Look into any penalties for early repayment as well. This information is essential, as you can calculate how much the switch could cost you up-front or save you in the long run.
STEP 2: Review Tandia’s Mortgage Offerings
Before switching, you’ll want to know exactly which one of our mortgage options best suits your needs, including the terms, conditions, and repayment options, so you have a clear plan in place.
STEP 3: Review Your Credit Score
Be sure to check your credit score before any major purchase or loan, including a mortgage. By obtaining a copy of your credit report you can address any errors before applying for the new loan. Remember, a good credit score can improve your chances of qualifying for certain offers – so always do your best to keep it in tip-top shape.
STEP 4: Track Down Your Documents
Gather necessary documents such as proof of income, employment history, bank statements and current mortgage details. You will need these to set up your switch and help give us a clear picture of what you’re working with.
If you’re interested in switching your mortgage or would like to find out more about how easy this process can be, get in touch with us! We’d love to help you make the move to a more comfortable mortgage experience with Tandia.
What is a Home Equity Line of Credit?
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a flexible financial arrangement that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity they have built up in their property. It functions as a revolving credit line, much like a credit card, where the homeowner can access funds up to a predetermined credit limit. The amount available for borrowing is based on the difference between the home's current market value and the amount still owed on the mortgage.

Commonly asked questions about switching your mortgage.
Can I switch my mortgage before renewal?
Yes. Many homeowners switch lenders before renewal to obtain a better rate, improved service, or more flexible mortgage features. Tandia Financial will even help cover certain switching costs.
How much can I save by switching my mortgage?
Savings depend on your remaining mortgage balance, interest rate, and term. Even a small reduction in your rate can potentially save thousands in interest over five years.
Is switching my mortgage difficult?
Usually not. In many cases, your new lender coordinates the paperwork, pays out your existing mortgage, and registers the new one with minimal disruption.
What documents do I need to switch my mortgage?
Most lenders require proof of income, identification, mortgage statements, property tax information, and details about your existing mortgage.
What happens to my existing mortgage when I switch?
Your new lender pays out your current mortgage, completes the transfer, and your future payments simply begin with the new lender under the new mortgage agreement.
Is switching my mortgage worth it?
If you can lower your interest rate, reduce your payments, improve your mortgage features, or better align your mortgage with your financial goals, switching can provide significant long-term value.
