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.

Brandy is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with a serious love for belly rubs, fetch, and being your constant shadow. She’s sweet, affectionate, and always ready to flop over for tummy time! This big, bouncy girl handles beautifully and is incredibly people-oriented—so much so that being left alone makes her sad. She will not hesitate to vocalize when she feels lonely or may try to find an escape route to get to her people. Because of this, she’d thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time to shower her with attention and keep her company. Brandy is easily excitable and can be jumpy when making new friends with people, so she’s best suited to a home without kids. She knows “sit” and “drop it,” has a cute little auto-sit when she wants something, and will gently place her toys at your feet for fetch (which she LOVES and doesn’t destroy—bonus!). Brandy also insists on being the one and only furry royalty in your life. She doesn’t want to share her humans, her home, or her toys—so no other pets, please! She’s ready to rule her kingdom solo as the Queen Bee she knows she is. If you’ve got a secure yard, a good throwing arm, and room in your heart for a one-dog show, Brandy just might be your perfect match. Check out LAPS here for more adoptables .
