Do you advise a lock-in on a Lethbridge home loan?Locking in a mortgage rate with a lender is one way to ensure that same rate still will be available when you need it.
Lock-ins make sense when borrowers expect rates to rise during the next 30 to 60 days, which is the usual length of time lock-ins are available.
A lock-in given at the time of application is useful because it may take the lender several weeks or longer to prepare a loan application (though automated loan practices are cutting this time dramatically).
