BC Home Closing Costs 2025: Don’t Get Caught Off Guard in Langley & Fraser Valley
Andy Schildhorn • September 2, 2025
Buying a home in Langley or the Fraser Valley in 2025?
Most buyers save for the down payment — but forget about the other big expense: closing costs.
On a $1,000,000 home, closing costs can add an extra $15,000–$40,000.
Don’t get caught off guard at the lawyer’s office.
In this video, I’ll walk you through exactly what to expect:
- Property Transfer Tax (PTT): BC’s biggest hidden cost — and how exemptions can save first-time buyers thousands.
- Legal & Title Costs: Lawyer fees, disbursements, and why title insurance matters.
- Upfront Costs: Inspections, appraisals, and your deposit.
- Adjustments & Taxes: Property tax credits, GST relief for first-time buyers, and the new BC Home Flipping Tax.
- After Closing Costs: Movers, utilities, insurance, and the little extras that add up fast.
