If you’re mortgaging a home in Newfoundland and Labrador, congratulations, you’re on the right path to success! Paying off your mortgage means that you’ve been compiling home equity. How can home equity be used, you ask? Let’s find out together.

Read this to know more about mortgages in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Accessing Your Home Equity

When someone talks about home equity, they’re referring to the difference between your home’s real estate value versus the amount of unpaid debt remaining on your primary mortgage. Typically, there are a few ways that home equity can be built up, including:

• Making responsible (full and on-time) mortgage payments.
• When the houses in your area go up in price and become more valuable in the real estate market.
• Increasing the value of your property through renovations, additions, and maintenance.

In order to access your equity, you’ll first need to apply with either your primary lender (bank, credit union, etc.) or a secondary lending source (private, alternative, etc.) in Newfoundland and Labrador. You’ll then have to pay an appraisal fee, wherein your property will be evaluated to determine exactly how much equity is available. Once you have enough equity to be approved (20% is often the standard), you can use it to either refinance your current mortgage in Newfoundland and Labrador or take out a “second” mortgage, which we’ll explain below.

Applying for a Second Mortgage in Newfoundland and Labrador

Second mortgages are not the same as traditional mortgages. However, by applying for one, you are agreeing to take out a second loan product that’s secured against your home, then pay it back slowly over several years, which is similar to how the traditional mortgage process works. That loan product is then placed in the second claim position behind your first mortgage, which is where it gets its name from. There are two main types of second mortgage that Newfoundland and Labrador home buyers can apply for, known as:

• Home equity loans
• Home equity lines of credit (commonly abbreviated to H.E.L.O.C.)

If your new equity product is categorized in the second claim position, the interest rate for your payments might be a bit higher than your first mortgage. That’s because your primary or secondary lender in Newfoundland and Labrador is risking more by allowing someone who already has one mortgage on their property to borrow from them. If you aren’t able to afford both the payments on your first and second mortgage, you could go into default. Not to mention that your secondary lender (if that’s the case), will be paid last when the home needs to go through the foreclosure and re-selling process. Once the full balance of your first mortgage is paid, however, your second mortgage is put in the first position.

When a Home Equity Loan Works Best in Newfoundland and Labrador

When you hear about second mortgages, the most common loan product involved is a home equity loan, since the payment method resembles a traditional mortgage more closely than a HELOC does. Upon approval, a sum of money (usually up to 80% of your attainable equity, not including the remaining mortgage balance) will be deposited into your chequing account. Then, similar to an installment loan, you would repay the equity loan over several years through equally divided payments. Most home equity loans in Newfoundland and Labrador come with a “fixed” interest rate, which means you’ll be given a specific rate according to the level of risk your lender is taking on you. That rate, while sometimes higher than a variable one, will not change over the course of your loan plan.

Home equity loans could be a better choice when:

• You’re happy with a fixed rate and set payment amounts. Having a rate that doesn’t change, as well as equal installments, makes it much easier to calculate the total cost of your loan. This knowledge will allow for proper budgeting.
• High-interest debt consolidation is your priority. Having a bunch of debt, especially if it involves multiple debts to different lenders, can be detrimental to your financial health. If you don’t have the necessary funds in your bank account, a home equity loan can be the best way to eliminate those debts in one shot.
• Unpredicted/emergency expenses arise. Since the financial world and your own life can be unpredictable, having a backup fund for emergencies can be a huge asset. If you don’t have enough in that account to cover some expensive, unexpected cost, however, a home equity loan can be the best solution.

When a HELOC Works Best in Newfoundland and Labrador

While HELOCs in Newfoundland and Labrador more closely resemble the payment structure of credit cards, normal lines of credit, and other revolving debt products, they’re still commonly known as second mortgages. Since a HELOC is revolving credit, you can withdraw from a set credit limit (65-80% of your accessible equity) in whatever amounts you need. When you pay back your full outstanding balance each month, your credit limit resets. Depending on your lender’s policies, HELOCs in Newfoundland and Labrador generally come with a variable interest rate, which will go up and down with the Bank of Canada’s prime rate for lending (fixed rates are possible with some lenders). You can also request longer payment terms, even up to 20 years, again depending on the lender you choose in Newfoundland and Labrador.

HELOCs could be a better choice when:

• You prefer the idea of revolving credit. As we said, one benefit of revolving credit is that you can withdraw from it as needed. Payments are not mandatory unless you actually borrow from the account. In addition, you’ll only have to pay interest on the money you use.
• The option of a minimum payment is preferable to you. Like all revolving credit products, a HELOC comes with the offer of a minimum monthly payment that you can make when you want to avoid penalty charges, which is not possible with a home equity loan.
• You’re trying to build or increase your credit score. While making your home equity payments will also affect your credit score in different ways, the sheer length of your HELOC payment schedule could be a better option for credit score improvement.
• Your expenses are more frequent or prolonged. Home equity loans can be better to swiftly eliminate large amounts of immediate debt. On the other hand, HELOCs can be more beneficial if your expenses are recurring, as it would be with your tuition, utility bills, property taxes, home renovations, and additions, etc.
