How to get "untrapped" from your collateral mortgage

There has been a lot of controversy lately over collateral mortgages since CBC's report on TD. Although overall it is much more difficult to get out of one of their mortgages, I am pleased to be able to offer another alternative. First National will now allow transfers to them on collateral mortgages. They are Canada's largest non-bank lender and offer exceptional rates and service. 

Here are a few highlights to their program:
·         Your current mortgage must be insured
·         You are able to keep your current amortization (even if it is over 30 years) which in turn keeps your payments low. It is important to note that if you were to refinance, you would have a maximum amortization of 25 years 
·         You get Access to First National’s best rates
·         Standard documents and qualification will be required
·         $1,000 of the penalty/discharge from your current lender can be capped into the mortgage

Here is an example of what they could do for you:

Current lender:
LTV: 92%
AM: 32yrs and 8 months
Rate: 4.25%
Registered: Re-advanceable
Discharge Penalty: $5,000

Straight Refinance to First National:
LTV:92%
AM: 32yrs
Rate: Best rate 3.09%.
$1,000 discharge capped into Mortgage.
Client pays remaining $4,000 of the discharge
Client pays legal fees

How do you know if your mortgage is a Running Account or not? If you go to Land Titles @ https://www.bconline.gov.bc.ca/ you can get the Form B for the mortgage. On page 2 you will see the below. This is where you will find out how it was registered. If it is checked off as YES you will need to do a refinance conventionally or a no new money refinance for insured. If it is check off as NO you can do a Switch.

Who is Computershare and why are they registered on title?

If you are using a non-bank lender for your mortgage, you may notice that your mortgage has been registered in the name of “Computershare Trust Company of Canada”. This registration does not affect the terms and conditions of your mortgage in any way. Computershare holds no beneficial interest or rights to the mortgage loan. This is merely a third party, custodial arrangement which means that your lender has used Computershare to review the mortgage and provide custodial certification to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp (CMHC) for their government securities program. Computershare is the largest provider globally of many of the services they offer and the largest corporate trust service provider in Canada. They have successfully provided this custodial service to many Canadian bank and non-bank lenders for many years and they play a very important role in the Government of Canada’s NHA Mortgage-Backed Securities Program. Computershare has served as the exclusive Central Payor and Tr
