Question
Hi

I am a UK national looking at developing / investing in property in BC, and was wondering how much leverage Canadian banks would give me.  Here I can get up to 90%, however I am not sure that would be the case for me in Canada.  Any help appreciated.

Answer
Hi there,

Happy Holidays to you and to your family!

For non-residents, lenders have basic guideline of lending 65% loan-to-value. However, they do make exceptions once in a while, especially for UK or US residents, they would go up to 80%. If you're a resident of Canada, you can even get 100% financing here.

What kind of property are you looking to invest in? Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Take care,

Susan Gozali
