Should I choose an open or closed term mortgage?


You can choose between an open or closed term for your mortgage. Here are the main features.

For a closed term:

  • You agree to keep your mortgage until the end of the term.
  • You may have to pay a fee if you want to renegotiate or pay off the mortgage before the end of the term.
  • The interest rate is usually lower.

Good to know:

A closed term may better suit your needs if you intend to keep your property at least until the end of your term.

For an open term:

  • You can renegotiate or pay off your mortgage early without penalty.
  • The interest rate is usually higher.

Good to know:

An open term may better suit your needs if you plan to sell your property before the end of your term.
