Mortgage refinancing expenses

Mortgage refinancing is the transfer of housing loan debt to a new Bank that offers lower and more profitable interest rates. It makes sense to think about re-lending to the borrower if his current loan rate is 2-3 percent higher than that provided by another Bank.

The transfer to the new terms means significant savings for the borrower (of course, provided that the new financial institution does not increase its rate over time). At the same time, you should keep in mind that refinancing is fraught with additional costs (although the Bank takes on the main expenses by repaying the loan at the previous institution).
