What is a home equity loan in BC?
A home equity loan in BC allows you to borrow a lump sum of money based on the portion of your home you’ve already paid off. This portion, called home equity, is the difference between your home’s market value and the balance remaining on your mortgage.
Because the loan is secured by your property, it’s often considered a second mortgage if you already have an existing one. However, if your original mortgage is fully paid off, a home equity loan can also serve as a first mortgage.
Home equity loans typically come with lower interest rates than unsecured personal loans and can be used for many purposes.

Example
If a home is worth $900,000 and the remaining mortgage is $300,000:
- Home equity: $900,000 – $300,000 = $600,000
- 75% of $600,000 = $450,000
In this example, the maximum home equity loan amount is $450,000.
