Refinance Mortgage Rate
An important factor in deciding to refinance will always be the refinance rate. However
it is often mistakenly assumed that a lender will offer the same rate of interest for refinance
as for an initial mortgage. This is not always the case. This makes it important not just to
compare different lenders, but be sure to check the different rates they are offering for
different products.
One possible way to obtain a lower refinance mortgage rate is to go to your existing lender.
You may be given a better rate simply because your lender does not wish to lose the opportunity
of further business from an existing customer
and in may cases the lower overheads for the lender in already having the majority of
your required documentation on file will pay dividends.
Note however that a rate advertised by a specific lender in press adverts etc may not
be the rate you will actually receive. If you have a bad credit history you will almost
certainly not get that advertised rate, in fact you may then have to do your research
over again contacting lenders to specifically ask what rate you would get in YOUR specific
circumstances. This is the only way to really know what rate you will receive.
As well as the interest rates another factor that must always be taken into consideration
when choosing a lender is fees and other costs. Again do not compare lenders simply on the
advertised rates alone, if a particular rate is especially low it may be because of extra
fees and costs to be added to the loan at closing. You must include these factors when
deciding on a lender.
