The Canadian Apartment Buying Process

Financial Preparation

Before beginning your search, it's crucial to understand your budget and financing options. We recommend:

  • Getting pre-approved for a mortgage
  • Understanding all associated costs (land transfer taxes, legal fees, etc.)
  • Building a financial buffer for unexpected expenses

Our team can connect you with trusted mortgage specialists to help with this phase.

Property Search

The Canadian real estate market varies significantly by region. Key considerations include:

  • Location priorities (proximity to transit, schools, amenities)
  • Building age and maintenance fees for condos
  • Future development plans in the area

We provide customized checklists based on your specific needs and priorities.

Making an Offer

This critical stage involves several legal considerations:

  • Conditions to include in your offer (financing, inspection, etc.)
  • Understanding the implications of different offer strategies
  • Reviewing the status certificate for condominiums

Our legal team ensures your offer protects your interests while remaining competitive.

Closing Process

The final steps involve several important legal and financial transactions:

  • Title transfer and registration
  • Adjustments for property taxes and condo fees

We handle all legal aspects of closing to ensure a smooth transition.
