Whether you’re refinancing a commercial or residential property, it’s important to be able to access seasoned guidance about the refinancing process.

The real estate refinance lawyers at Taylor Janis LLP in Kamloops can work alongside your mortgage adviser to ensure that process is as smooth as possible. We will guide you through the refinancing closing process, ensure that the necessary paperwork is drafted correctly, and look after all the legal formalities.

Our lawyers have your best interests at heart and are committed to making your real estate refinancing a success.

Refinancing real estate means arranging a new mortgage for a property, replacing the one made previously.

During the refinancing process, it is not only important to ensure that you get the right deal. The documentation must be correct and the new arrangement set up properly. A lot of important paperwork must be checked and drafted and the registration processes for the old and new mortgages taken care of.

Many residential and commercial clients require the assistance of a real estate lawyer for this, as well as a mortgage adviser. That’s where we can help.

Our real estate refinance lawyers will look after the following:

• Contacting your mortgage advisor about the refinancing package
• Contacting your lender about refinancing instructions and the terms of the mortgage and refinance
• Obtaining a payout statement from your lender (if you already have a mortgage with them)
• Drafting your refinancing documents based on the terms provided by your lender
• Arranging the signing of the refinancing documents at our Kamloops offices
• Receiving the proceeds on the day of completion
• Registering the new mortgage on the title of your property
• Paying out the mortgage that is being replaced
• Registering documentation to discharge the old mortgage from the title of your property
• Transferring any residual funds remaining after the refinancing is complete

These steps can be confusing if you are refinancing property for the first time. Even if you understand the process, you may feel more comfortable if the paperwork and registration processes are handled by one of our experienced real estate lawyers.

Refinancing can be a beneficial move for real estate owners who wants to improve or protect their financial positions. Changes may be necessary due to personal circumstances or wider real estate market issues.

Not all debt is bad, of course, and the idea of refinancing is to help make mortgage debt look a little healthier.

Typically, our clients refinance real estate for one of the following reasons:

Once you have selected the new mortgage with which you want to replace your existing mortgage, we start the “closing” process.

It’s best to contact us at least 10 days before closing once you have your mortgage approval. From there, we will manage the following steps for you:

1. Information gathering: we will need the name of your insurance company, the name of the management company (if the property is strata title) and payout information for your existing mortgage(s) and third-party creditors (if applicable).
2. Title search and tax information gathering: you will be informed at this stage if any further information is required.
3. Preparation of closing documents: We will prepare everything including the Mortgage and Order to Pay.
4. Sign documents: this is normally done between one and three days before closing at our offices in Kamloops.
5. Registration and closing payments: we will register the mortgage, obtain funds from your lender, pay existing lenders or approved creditors (according to the Order to Pay) and arrange for the payment of any residual funds.

Report: finally, we provide a report to your lender.
