Financial and Legal Information
Realtors are your guide through the buying or selling process, however there are other professionals required to help complete your transaction, lawyers, notaries and mortgage professionals are important resources.
The following pages provide some background information on the types of ownership, information on strata ownership, which is unique, and some of the more common mortgage terms.
The Home Ownership page covers:
- What you actually own (you might be surprised).
- Types of ownership (Freehold, Strata, Coop, etc.).
- Types of shared ownership (more than one owner).
- What the title and charges on the title are.
The Strata Ownership page goes into more detail and looks at the types of strata homes and the structure of stratas. In BC we call condos strata.
The Mortgage Terms page defines some of the more common mortgage terms.
The Comox Marina, Comox Bay and the ever-present Comox Glacier illustrate why the Comox Valley is such a popular place to live.
Gerry provided an extremely high level of service. His hard work and insight during the entire process of purchasing and building our house in Cumberland were invaluable, doing research and advising us on what questions needed asking. It was an involved and evolving process of viewing properties in the Comox Valley before deciding on the house and lot. During construction, he communicated frequently with the builder's realtors, keeping track of adjustments and documenting changes. It was a long road and I have great respect for his integrity and work ethic. We cannot thank you enough, Gerry. Kindest regards, Gustaf and Jana. See Client Feedback for more client comments.
