Question 7

What is a pre-construction project?

Accepted Answer

A pre-construction project is a new residential development that is sold before construction is completed. Buyers purchase units during the planning or early construction phase, often at lower prices than completed units. You'll receive a unit upon project completion, typically 1-3 years after purchase.

Question 8

How do deposits work for pre-construction?

Accepted Answer

Deposits for pre-construction projects are typically structured in stages. You'll usually pay 5-10% on signing, followed by additional deposits at specific milestones (e.g., 5% at occupancy permit, 5% at closing). These deposits are held in trust by the developer's lawyer until closing.

Question 9

What happens if the project is delayed?

Accepted Answer

Construction delays are common in pre-construction projects. Your purchase agreement will include an 'outside closing date' that allows for reasonable delays. If delays exceed the specified timeframe, you may have options to cancel and receive your deposits back, depending on your contract terms.

Question 10

What are the risks of buying pre-construction?

Accepted Answer

Key risks include construction delays, potential changes to the final product, market value fluctuations, and developer bankruptcy. However, you also benefit from lower initial pricing, potential appreciation, and the ability to secure a brand-new home. Always work with reputable developers and review all contracts carefully.

Question 11

When do I start making mortgage payments?

Accepted Answer

Mortgage payments begin only after you take possession of your completed unit, typically at the final closing date. During construction, you'll only make staged deposits. You'll need mortgage pre-approval closer to completion, usually 90-120 days before the expected closing date.

Question 12

Can I customize my unit?

Accepted Answer

Customization options vary by developer and project phase. Early buyers often have more choices in finishes, fixtures, and layouts. Common customizable elements include flooring, kitchen cabinets, countertops, and bathroom fixtures. Options are typically presented during the design center appointment, which occurs after purchase.

Question 13

What warranties are included with pre-construction homes?

Accepted Answer

New homes in Canada come with provincial new-home warranty protection — Tarion/HCRA in Ontario and equivalent programs in other provinces. This typically includes one-year coverage for defects, two-year coverage for water penetration, and seven-year coverage for major structural defects. Your developer will provide warranty details at closing.

Question 14

What happens if the developer goes bankrupt?

Accepted Answer

If a developer declares bankruptcy, your deposits are typically protected if they were held in trust. However, the project may be delayed or cancelled. In some cases, another developer may take over the project. It's crucial to research developers' financial stability and track record before purchasing.

Question 15

What documents do I need to review before purchasing?

Accepted Answer

Essential documents include the purchase agreement, disclosure statement, architectural plans, condo declaration (for condos), and developer's financial statements. Have a real estate lawyer review all documents before signing. Pay special attention to deposit structure, completion dates, and cancellation rights.

Question 16

How long does it take from purchase to move-in?

Accepted Answer

Timeline varies by project, typically ranging from 12-36 months. Factors include project size, construction complexity, and market conditions. Your purchase agreement will include an estimated occupancy date, but this is subject to change. Stay in regular communication with your developer for updates.

Question 17

Can I visit the construction site?

Accepted Answer

Site visits are usually allowed but must be scheduled with the developer for safety and insurance reasons. Many developers offer periodic site tours or provide progress updates through photos and videos. Always follow safety protocols and never visit the site without authorization.

Question 18

What happens at the final inspection and closing?

Accepted Answer

Before closing, you'll conduct a pre-delivery inspection (PDI) to identify any defects or issues. These are documented and should be addressed by the developer. At closing, you'll pay the final balance, receive keys, and complete final paperwork. Your lawyer will handle the closing process and ensure all conditions are met.
