Appraisal, legal, and registration costs apply on a new charge, plus BC's Property Transfer Tax if you are purchasing rather than refinancing. Because BC property values are high, the transfer tax on a purchase frequently runs to five figures, which makes refinancing existing equity the cheaper route for most homeowners.
Usually up to 80% combined loan-to-value on a primary residence. With BC's property values, 80% LTV often unlocks a large amount in absolute terms even at a modest equity percentage, which is why home equity lending is more common here than in most provinces.
