What the Developer Won't Put on the Brochure
1. Completion and occupancy timelines may shift
The targeted completion window of 2027 to 2028 is an estimate. Construction delays due to labour, materials, weather, or municipal permitting are common in BC pre-sales. Your completion date and occupancy may extend beyond the original target. Ensure your financing offer is condition-free before signing, and confirm your lender will honour a mortgage commitment if the builder's timeline slips.
2. Strata bylaws and shared common property rules apply post-occupancy
While these are strata-free homes, shared site features (if any) may be governed by a homeowner association or local bylaws. Review the property disclosure and any covenants or easements before signing. Changes to site rules or common-area costs after occupancy cannot be anticipated at the pre-sale stage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'strata-free' mean for a duplex? ▼
A strata-free duplex means you own your unit and lot outright; you do not share ownership of common property with other units, and you do not pay strata fees to a strata corporation. You are solely responsible for the maintenance and property taxes on your home. However, you remain subject to local bylaws and any registered covenants or easements on the title.
What is the deposit schedule, and when is the balance due? ▼
You deposit $5,000 on signing, 5% of the purchase price 7 days later, 5% again at 90 days, and the balance on completion. Ensure your mortgage lender will fund based on the developer's estimated completion date, and confirm your offer protects you if the completion date is delayed.
