A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) lets you tap into the equity you have built in your home — on your own schedule, at any time, up to your approved limit. Unlike a second mortgage where you receive a lump sum, a HELOC works like a revolving credit line: you borrow what you need, repay it, and borrow again. At Mortgagefy, we connect homeowners across Canada with lenders offering competitive HELOC rates and flexible terms.

How a HELOC Works

A HELOC is secured against your home, which means the interest rate is significantly lower than unsecured credit. Most lenders allow you to borrow up to 80% of your home’s appraised value minus your outstanding mortgage balance. You pay interest only on the amount you actually draw, making it one of the most flexible and cost-effective borrowing tools available to Canadian homeowners.

Who Is a HELOC Best For?

  • Homeowners who need ongoing or flexible access to funds (renovations, investments)
  • Borrowers who want the lowest possible interest rate on borrowed funds
  • People consolidating high-interest debt over time
  • Investors using equity to fund down payments on additional properties
  • Business owners using home equity for operating capital

HELOC vs Second Mortgage — Which Is Right for You?

If you need a large, one-time sum — for example to pay off a tax debt or fund a major purchase — a second mortgage may be more appropriate. If you need flexible, ongoing access to funds over months or years, a HELOC is usually the better tool. Our agents will review your situation and help you choose the right structure for your goals and budget.

HELOC Qualification Requirements

  • Minimum 20% equity in your home (combined LTV of 80% or less)
  • Qualifying credit score (typically 650+ for A-lenders)
  • Verifiable income to support the credit facility
  • Property in good condition and in a marketable area

Frequently Asked Questions

What are current HELOC rates in Canada?
HELOCs are typically priced at prime rate plus a small spread (0.5%–1%). As of early 2026, that puts most HELOCs in the 5.2%–6.5% range depending on the lender and your profile.

Can I get a HELOC with bad credit?
Traditional HELOCs require good credit. However, if you have significant equity, we may be able to arrange a private or B-lender equity line at a slightly higher rate. Contact us to discuss your options.
