Answer

What is MTIC, and why is it more important than the Spread?

Yes. MTIC (Total Amount Payable by the Consumer) is generally more important than spread when comparing mortgage offers. MTIC includes the full cost of the loan: principal, interest, taxes, fees, insurance and other charges. In other words, spread is only one part of the price, while MTIC gives a complete and transparent view of the total cost across lenders.
