Plan Beyond the Mortgage

Other Costs to Consider When Buying in British Columbia

Property Transfer Tax BC Property Transfer Tax may apply to a purchase. Exemptions or other rules may apply depending on the buyer, property and transaction.
Legal or Notary Fees A lawyer or notary is typically involved in the legal completion and registration of the purchase.
Inspection & Due Diligence Depending on the property, inspections and other professional advice may form part of the purchase process.
Adjustments Property taxes, strata fees and other prepaid or outstanding amounts may be adjusted between buyer and seller at completion.
Moving & Ownership Costs Moving expenses, utilities, repairs, maintenance and other property-specific costs should also be considered.
Important to Know

A Planning Tool — Not a Mortgage Approval

The calculator is designed to help compare scenarios. Your actual financing terms must be confirmed with your lender or mortgage professional.

01 Mortgage qualification is separate.

Income, debt, credit, down payment, the property and lender requirements can all affect qualification.

02 Interest rates can change.

The interest calculation assumes the rate entered remains unchanged, while real mortgages may renew at different rates.

03 Confirm financing before making an offer.

A lender or qualified mortgage professional can confirm approval, available products and the terms applicable to your purchase.
