1. Completion Timeline Risk
The 2028 completion date is an estimate only. Construction delays are common in BC real estate and may extend possession beyond the scheduled date, affecting your moving timeline and financing.
2. Strata Fees and Hidden Costs
Townhome developments typically include strata fees for common property maintenance. Final strata fees and special assessments are often unknown at pre-sale stage and may be significantly higher than projected.
3. Market Risk and Deposit Loss
Real estate markets can decline between purchase and completion. If market values drop, you may owe more than the property's worth, and deposits are typically non-refundable if you default.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pre-sale townhome purchase? ▼
A pre-sale purchase means you are buying the townhome before it is built. You sign an agreement and make deposits, with completion occurring in 2028. You do not take possession until the home is finished and registered.
What happens if I need to cancel my pre-sale agreement? ▼
BC pre-sale agreements typically allow a rescission period (cooling-off period) of a few days. After that period, cancellation may be difficult and could result in loss of your deposit. Review your purchase agreement for specific cancellation terms and conditions.
Are strata fees included in the price? ▼
No. The listed price is for the townhome unit only. Monthly or annual strata fees for common property upkeep are paid separately and are not included in the purchase price. Strata fees should be estimated and budgeted separately.
