Birch Condos & Towns at Lakeview Village

A new condominium in Ontario comes with a 10-day statutory rescission period, beginning when you receive the signed agreement and the disclosure statement. That is a real protection, and I make sure a lawyer reviews both documents inside it at no cost to you.

Your deposits are protected under the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan, and the completed home is covered by Tarion — one year on workmanship, two on systems, seven on major structural. That is coverage a resale purchase simply does not come with.

Development levies, utility connections, and Tarion enrolment are charged on closing, and at platinum stage they can usually be capped in writing. Getting those caps is one of the most valuable things I negotiate for buyers, and it is the kind of thing that is available early and gone later.

Freehold means you own the land and the home outright, with no monthly condominium fee. On a townhome, that difference alone is often several hundred dollars a month versus a comparable condo town — money that goes into your own equity instead.

Deposits are staged over months rather than paid at once, and your deposit is protected under the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan. That structure is what lets buyers secure today's price while keeping capital working elsewhere during construction.

Everything is new and under Tarion warranty — one year on workmanship, two on systems, seven on major structural — and you choose your own finishes at the décor centre rather than living with someone else's. I go through the lot premiums and upgrade pricing with you beforehand so the number you budget is the number you pay.

You fix today's price for a home delivered years from now, and you pay for it in staged deposits rather than carrying a mortgage in the meantime. Your capital keeps working elsewhere while the home gets built, and you take possession of something brand new, under warranty, with nothing to renovate.

You have years between signing and closing to arrange financing, sell an existing home, or simply let your deposit schedule run — and your purchase price is locked the day you sign, whatever the market does in between.

If reselling before closing is part of your plan, assignment rights are worth securing at the outset — whether assignment is permitted, what the builder charges, and whether you may market it are all negotiable early. That is exactly the kind of term I make sure is in your agreement rather than discovered later.

The current price list, including inventory not released publicly. The full floor plan package with suite sizes, exposures, and ceiling heights. The deposit schedule in writing. Negotiated closing-cost caps. And the incentives actually on the table this week, which change more often than the price does.

Builders release those to registered brokers rather than publishing them, which is why the documents on this page are behind a form rather than a download link. Ask and I will forward whatever Branthaven Homes has current.
