Taking a mortgage or refinancing one is a significant financial decision, a rather serious one, with its own legal documents and long-term obligations. OB Law Office is a firm that assists clients in Calgary go through the legal process of mortgage financing and refinancing with ease and certainty.
Refinancing your mortgage means paying off your existing mortgage and taking out a new one, usually to get a lower interest rate, access your home equity, or alter the terms of your loan. Although refinancing may be financially advantageous, it may imply new legal conditions, expenses, and so-called early redemption fines of the mortgage.
We look at the mortgage contracts and see that everything is fair in the terms of a contract, that the interest rates are clearly printed, that there is no hidden clause or bad provisions that could come into play in the future and bite you.
Our team will validate the fact that the property is owned in good faith by checking against lien, encumbrance or restrictions as well as making sure the title is free of all such before the financing or refinancing process has been completed.
We ensure that all documents are in compliance with mortgage regulations in Alberta and that any disclosures needed are made out to prevent the last-minute and after-signing surprises.
