Property Transfer Tax and Exemptions
BC's Property Transfer Tax can be a significant cost in a real estate transaction. We advise buyers on available exemptions — including the First-Time Home Buyers' Exemption and Newly Built Home Exemption — and ensure the correct tax is reported and paid.
Strata and Presale Properties
Strata properties and presale condominiums involve additional legal considerations beyond a standard purchase. We review disclosure statements, strata corporation documents, and presale contracts to ensure you understand your rights and obligations before you commit.
