Contact the lawyer referral service in your community. Under this service, sponsored by the provincial law society or a provincial division of the Canadian Bar Association, you can consult with a lawyer for about half an hour for either a nominal fee (usually $10-$25) or no fee at all. Make sure you emphasize that you want a lawyer who specializes in real estate--ideally, condominium real estate. If you did not obtain the referral through the lawyer referral service, ask the lawyer over the phone what a half-hour initial consultation would cost. In many cases, it is free as a marketing goodwill gesture. [2006] - Douglas Gray

When you receive your lender's renewal offer, whatever you do, don't sign it! Lenders almost never put their best rate on the renewal. Sometimes you'll get a lower mortgage rate simply by phoning your lender and asking for one. A lower mortgage rate could mean saving thousands of dollars in interest over the life or your mortgage. Your mortgage renewal is too important to leave until the last minute. Start shopping early--four to six months ahead of when your mortgage term ends. This gives you plenty of time to see what else is out there. [2017] - Sean Cooper
