Does renewing your mortgage mean having to pass the stress test all over again? Not necessarily!
Renewing with your current lender generally doesn’t require another stress test. And since changes introduced in 2024, eligible homeowners can also switch lenders without having to pass it again.
This could make it easier to compare mortgage rates and terms without having to qualify at the higher stress test rate. You’ll still need to meet the new lender’s approval requirements.
