HELOC

Home Equity Line Of Credit

Many leading financial institutions and private lenders offer a combined HELOC and mortgage product under their own brand name, sometimes referred to as a re-advanceable mortgage.

With a HELOC, you typically do not have fixed repayment amounts, and your lender usually only requires you to pay interest on the amount of money you use.

The credit limit for a HELOC combined with a mortgage is typically a maximum of 80% of your home’s market value for private lenders and a maximum of 65% for institutional lenders.

HELOCs generally come with attractive interest rates as they are secured against your home, making them viewed as low-risk financial products.

The flexibility offered by a HELOC, both in terms of borrowing and repaying, is a significant reason for their widespread popularity.
