Mortgage refinancing in Nunavut

Nunavut licenses consumer credit, so a mortgage refinance signed there follows provincial rules on disclosure and cost, on top of whatever the lender requires.

This page covers mortgage refinance for Nunavut residents, and it carries the provincial rule alongside the product description.

What a mortgage refinance is

Mortgage refinancing: Replacing an existing mortgage to change the rate, the term or the amount borrowed, and what it costs.

Refinancing replaces an existing mortgage to change the rate, the term or the amount, and the property remains the security.

Releasing the security follows repayment, and the lender must discharge its claim.

A secured product names an asset, and the lender registers or holds a claim against it.
