An open mortgage allows you to prepay, pay off, or renegotiate the loan at any time without an interest penalty. This flexibility comes with a higher interest rate compared to a closed mortgage with an equivalent term. Open mortgages are ideal for those who anticipate having extra funds to pay down their mortgage early, offering the freedom to manage their payments without additional costs.
