Closed Mortgage

Closed Mortgage is a type of mortgage with a fixed term and which cannot be prepaid, renegotiated or refinanced before the expiry of the term. These mortgages are not flexible and there is usually a penalty in prepaying/repaying the full amount if the lender agrees. It usually offers the lowest interest rate available. Closed mortgages have terms ranging from six months to twenty years with a five year term being the most common.

It's a good choice if you will make regular monthly payments and possibly limited prepayments. This helps you to work out your budget for few years. It may not be a good choice if you are planning to move before the end of the term.
