Buying your next home

Take your First National mortgage with you when you buy a new home

A second home can be even more exciting than the first because you’re realizing new and different dreams – more space, a new area, an expanded family. If you already have a First National mortgage for your current home, you can continue to experience the same great service, features and benefits by porting your mortgage when you move.

Keep your rate

If you have a great rate with your current mortgage, it is possible to keep that rate and potentially save significantly on interest costs if rates go up.

Adjust your mortgage

If you need to adjust your mortgage amount to suit the financial requirements of your new home, we can work with you to alter your mortgage amount.

Avoid prepayment charges

Porting or having someone assume your mortgage means that you don’t have to break your mortgage early, which can possibly help you avoid potential prepayment charges.

Keep it simple

Switching your mortgage can be time consuming and complex. When you port, you have the same mortgage, with the same features, advantages, service and support you’ve come to expect from First National.

Assuming a mortgage

Buyers interested in your current home have the option of assuming your mortgage. Your current rate can act as additional advantage and selling feature for your home. Potential buyers must qualify with First National before taking over the mortgage.

Title : I really have had great experiences with First National.

I really have had great experiences with First National. As a second time home buyer, I was very happy with the process. To top it off, I have been able to take advantage of every online tool and received quick service. Having a rental property now, First National has made my life incredibly easy regarding managing and maintaining it. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a mortgage.
