How It Works

How a Toronto HELOC works, step by step.

01

Consultation

Tell us your goals, renovation, debt consolidation, investment, or reserve. We review your equity, income, and property with no commitment.

02

Lender shopping

We compare lenders, banks, credit unions, and monolines, and present HELOC options and rates that fit your file.

03

Application & appraisal

We submit to the chosen lender, coordinate the appraisal, and handle the paperwork.

04

Approved & draw

Once set up, draw funds anytime via online banking, repay and redraw as needed, with interest charged on the balance you use.

05

Ongoing flexibility

Keep the line open as a standing resource, or pay it down, a HELOC has no fixed repayment schedule like a term loan.

HELOC or refinance?

Two ways to use your equity

01

HELOC: revolving access

Draw and repay as needed, with interest charged on the drawn amount. Variable rate (Prime+), up to 65% LTV, generally no prepayment penalty. Suits ongoing or phased needs, renovations, investments, or a standing reserve.

02

Refinance: lump sum

One lump-sum draw at closing, fixed or variable rate, up to 80% LTV. Suits a single large need. Breaking mid-term can carry an IRD or interest penalty.
