I have a Scotia STEP mortgage, which will come up for renewal in future. I would like to re-finance by moving to another financial institution or shop for better rates. I have heard that STEP mortgage is difficult to transfer compared to a regular mortgage, although it is not impossible.
How much does it cost to transfer a STEP mortgage to another bank?? What is the process, does a lawyer have to do it?
Thanks.

Hello Pramod ji,
Thanks a lot for the detailed response. I wish I had known about the drawbacks of STEP mortgage, then I would have never opted for it. The bank never explained me anything regarding the disadvantages of STEP at the time of doing the paperwork. It was my first mortgage, so I have learnt from this experience. Eventually, when the mortgage renewal is due, I will contact you for refinance options as you are an expert in the mortgage business.
Regards.
