Client satisfaction
Most Ontario homeowners sign their lender's auto-renewal offer without shopping around. Over a 5-year term, that can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
At maturity, Hamilton homeowners can move to any lender with zero prepayment penalty — giving you full negotiating power.
We go to market for you — banks, credit unions, monolines, and private lenders all compared in one step, at no cost.
Our FSRA-licensed agents are compensated by lenders, not you. Professional advice with full transparency.

Yes — renewing at maturity is the one time you can switch lenders completely penalty-free in Hamilton. There is no break fee or prepayment penalty. Minor legal and registration costs ($800–$1,500) may apply, but lendsimpl runs a full net-benefit comparison so you know exactly whether switching saves you money.
Most lenders allow Hamilton homeowners to begin 120 days (4 months) before their maturity date. Starting early gives you time to rate-hold multiple offers, compare lenders side by side, and make a deliberate decision rather than rushing under a deadline.
For a straight renewal with your existing lender in Hamilton, documentation is usually minimal. If you're switching lenders, expect to provide: recent pay stubs, T4s or NOAs, employment letter, property tax statement, current mortgage statement, and government-issued ID.
Even a 0.25% rate difference on a $500,000 mortgage saves roughly $6,000–$7,500 over a 5-year term. Hamilton homeowners who work with lendsimpl to shop their renewal typically save $3,000–$12,000+ compared to simply signing their lender's auto-renewal offer.
Yes. lendsimpl is a FSRA-licensed mortgage brokerage (Brokerage #13763) serving all of Ontario including Hamilton. Our licensed agents provide free, unbiased mortgage renewal advice with no obligation.
It depends on your risk tolerance, income stability, and outlook on interest rates. Fixed locks your payment for the entire term — ideal if you prioritize predictability. Variable has historically performed better over long periods. We walk through both scenarios for your specific situation in Hamilton.
