Surrey Condominium, What Are You Buying?
When people purchase a condo as their home or investment they must consider several factors. A condominium will not suite everyone. A condo involves not only individual ownership within the unit but also ownership of the unit’s shared property or “common property”. I’m referring to condominiums and not townhouses, mobiles homes or houses. Your unit should be individually owned in a freehold or leasehold format. Freehold generally means you own the title to the property. However, leasehold means that you don’t have any ownership rights to the land only the leasing rights. The rest of the property includes common property. Common property elements generally includes walkways, driveways, lawns and gardens, lobbies, elevators, parking areas, recreational facilities, storage areas, laundry rooms, stairways, plumbing, electrical systems to run the building. You may encounter limited common property elements that only specific owners have access to. For example: Parking, storage lockers, roof gardens, balconies, patios and front/back yards. This refers to all condo’s in the Greater Vancouver Area and Fraser Valley area including: Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, Langley, Burnaby, Richmond, New West, Maple Ridge, Coquitlam, White Rock and Surrey. Condominiums could be in a high rise apartment building, a three to five story new mid rise building, or a converted older building that my have been used as rental apartments.
