I've been told I may need a building permit for some work I am doing on my house.
A building permit is written permission from the City of Toronto to begin construction, demolition, addition or renovation on your house. There are quite a few regulations that your plans must comply too, as well as the Ontario Building Code and local Zoning By-laws. There are lots of instances when you will need one, here are some of them: You may want to structurally alter your property or even knock some of it down or add to it, along with doors and windows, modifying the heating, plumbing and air-conditioning or even add a new bathroom, as a result you need to check to find out if you need this permit.
My insurance business is asking a multitude of questions about the property I bought, can my realtor help?
If your house has been changed in any way, the amount of land the property sits on, when the property was put up are some of the questions asked. We will contact the listing agent for your new house to get as many answers as we can from the sellers, who will know the most about the house. Most insurance companies realize that the precise details are not always available, as a result they normally accept approximate details.
Which is the better investment opportunity, a house or a condominium?
I orient on houses for sale Toronto but I believe that this all depends on your personal situation, how you see the future and what you are expecting out of the investment. When looking at average Toronto rental prices for a decent apartment it pays for itself, on the downside the value doesn't go up very much, but part of a house can be rented out while you are still living in it. We will give assistance and advise you which is the right type of property based on your lifestyle and situation.
Why do prices for the same type of condo vary so much in the same complex?
Many factors can influence pricing, including ceiling height, finishes, accessories & upgrades, exterior access, parking and the like. Condos higher up have better views, less people around and less noise from above, so they attract the higher prices. Finally the price being asked is not a matter of course the price that you will pay, it could be greater or less than the asking price .
