Summary
Secure the funds you need for your future home with some of the lowest mortgage rates from a bank to go along with a plethora of flexible options.
TD makes it easy for anyone to sign up for a mortgage. It has a number of mortgage options for your needs, some of which come with special mortgage rates. These special rates, which are only applicable on a select few of its mortgage plans, offer some of the lowest mortgage rates of any Canadian bank.
You can contact TD in a couple of different ways. You can have a mortgage specialist visit you at a place of your choosing or you can have a mortgage specialist call you back at a time that is convenient for you.
What are TD Mortgages rates and terms?
Like many other mortgage providers, TD offers fixed and variable rate mortgage options. What separates TD from the rest of the pack are its special rate offers, which are only applicable on select plans. For example, its special interest rate on a five year fixed rate closed term mortgage is a full two percentage points lower than its posted rate. It also has special rate offers on its five year variable rate closed term mortgage.
What do customers say about TD?
On the whole, both TD‘s fixed rate and variable rate mortgage plans are viewed favourably by customers according to reviews posted on independent mortgage consumer review website InsurEye. TD‘s fixed rate plan has an aggregate score of 3.8 out of 5 stars while its variable rate plan has a rating of 3.7 stars. TD‘s customer service and product features in particular get high marks.
What makes TD unique?
Aside from TD‘s low special mortgage interest rates, TD‘s mortgage offerings are different in a couple of ways.
You can receive cash back by funding your TD mortgage, but this is only available when getting a new mortgage, switching mortgage providers or refinancing your mortgage.
Its First-Time Home Buyers Package grants customers a bonus interest rate on new deposits kept in a TD Savings Account as well as pre-approved overdraft protection on your TD Chequing Account. Of course, to take advantage of this offer, you must have a TD Savings and Chequing Account.
Do I qualify for a loan with TD?
There are a few ways you can find out if you qualify for a loan with TD. First, you can go through the pre-approval process. This process enables you to get a fairly quick response to your application. During this process, you’ll have to confirm that you are the age of majority in the province you live in and a permanent Canadian resident. After you confirm this, you’ll need to submit pertinent personal information as well as allow TD to run a credit check. You should find out within 5-10 minutes whether you are pre-approved for a loan with TD.
If you’re looking for a more personal touch, you can find out if you qualify by having a TD mortgage specialist call you or you can have them visit you at a time and place of your choosing. Some things you’ll want to have on hand include your social insurance number, personal information and your current and past employment history.

I got the loan. Now what?
If you’ve been approved for the mortgage, a TD Mortgages specialist will help work with you on the next steps.

With TD, you can make payments weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly.
If you have any questions about your mortgage, you can ask your TD Mortgages specialist at any time.
