A HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) lets Toronto homeowners borrow against the equity in their home. It is a revolving credit line: you draw what you need, repay, and draw again, and interest is charged on the balance you use. On most bank HELOCs the line itself can go up to 65% of your home's value, and up to 80% when combined with your mortgage.
Lenders generally look at the equity in your home, your income, your credit and the property. Most bank HELOCs expect at least 20% equity, and requirements vary by lender. If a bank says no, alternative lenders may look at your file differently, and we explain the trade-offs of each.
HELOC rates are usually quoted as a spread over prime and depend on your credit, equity, income, the property and the lender. See the rate cards on this page for current indicative rates.
A HELOC is a revolving line you draw on as needed, usually priced over prime. A refinance replaces your mortgage with a new one, usually for a lump sum at a fixed or variable rate, and may carry a prepayment charge on your existing mortgage. Which suits you depends on your goal, your current mortgage and how much you need to borrow.
Yes. Many homeowners use a HELOC to fund renovations in stages, drawing funds as the project progresses. Interest is charged on the amount you have drawn. Check your lender's terms on how the line can be used.
Credit, income documentation or the type of property can lead to a decline. Alternative lenders and private options may be available, and each has different costs and terms. We compare the options and explain the trade-offs before you decide. Lender fees and broker fees, where they apply, are disclosed in writing before you commit.
