NationsChoice Mortgage - Rate Lock Policy

We offer locks for 30, 45 and 60 day periods. Refinance transactions may be locked at the time of loan application. Purchase transactions may be locked once you have an accepted offer on a property. You may apply and request a lock online, 24/7.

1. How Do I Lock?

Request a rate lock confirmation from your licensed loan officer and, when your rate is locked, you will receive a Loan Estimate indicating your loan is locked and for what negotiated lock period.

2. Are Any Fees Collected When I Lock?

No, we do not have any fees to lock your loan.

3. What If Rates Drop After I've Locked?

At the time we are ready to draw your loan documents, if our posted rates are more than .25% lower than the rate you locked (for the same or less points, or the same or more rebate), you may float down your rate by .125%.

4. What Happens if the Loan Process Takes Longer Than My Lock Period?

  • There may be extension cost depending on market conditions.
  • Current rates are higher and lock expires, then the loan may be re-priced at current rates.

Delays caused by you, include but are not limited to, delays caused by the subordination of an existing second mortgage or home equity line, not supplying supporting documentation within 48 hours of our request or delaying appraisal inspections or document signing appointments.

5. Can I Choose a Different Program or Rate After I've Locked?

You may but your rate and points (or rebate) will be based on the pricing in place on the date of your original lock. Please take the time upfront to choose the program and rate that is best for you.

6. Can I Relock My Rate by Canceling My Application and Reapplying?

If you cancel your application and reapply within 60 days, your rate and points (or rebate) will be the based on the worst case between the pricing in place on the date of your original lock or the date of your new lock. Please take the time upfront to choose the program and rate that is best for you.

7. What happens if I let my rate lock expire?

If you let your rate lock expire and relock within 60 days, your rate and points (or rebate) will be the based on the worst case between the pricing in place on the date of your original lock or the date of your new lock.

8. Should I Lock or Float my Rate?

On a refinance transaction, if the savings you will achieve with the new lower rate will recapture the closing costs of the loan in a relatively short period of time, you should probably go ahead and lock your rate and close your loan. Trying to time the bottom of an interest rate cycle is tricky and each month you delay costs you in the form of carrying a higher interest rate on your old loan. If rates fall further, you can always refinance again.

On purchase transactions, in times of stable interest rates, most customers lock when they are within 30 days of closing. Locking for a period longer than 30 days increases the cost of the loan slightly but is sometimes a good idea if rates are volatile. If your closing is more than 30 days out, we recommend you compare rates and points on our website and make your decision accordingly.

Instant Mortgage Rate Help

Loan Amount: How much do you want to borrow? Example: 150,000 (You can borrow up to 100% of the purchase price of your home. You will find better interest rates at 95%, 90%, and 80% progressively.)

Property Value: This is the purchase price of your property or your best estimate of the appraised value of the property. Example: 175,000.

Loan Type: Selecting Refinance WITH CASH OUT may increase your rate. If you want some extra cash to pay the closing costs on your new loan, this would NOT be considered receiving extra cash.
