LOCATION

LOT 16 Towns has a uniquely advantageous position in St. Catharines and the Niagara Region. It is right next to Hwy 406 and minutes from the QEW and all the urban amenities of the downtown core. Yet, it is also nestled amongst natural greenery and close to beautiful parks and trails, providing a break from city life’s busyness. St. Catharines is known as the Garden City, thanks to the lush landscape offered by the Niagara Escarpment running through town.

This townhouse location offers plenty of access and connectivity to the rest of the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The Niagara Region Transit system has two bus routes along nearby Westchester Cres with a stop only a 5-min walk away. The townhomes are a short drive from the St. Catharines train station, which offers VIA Rail and GO Train services. Commuters can reach downtown Toronto in 90 mins by car. An exciting development due to launch very soon is the proposed Hoverlink, which can cross Lake Ontario and reach Toronto in 30 mins, saving riders time and reducing greenhouse emissions.

The city of Niagara Falls and its endless tourist sites (that attract over 13 million visitors a year) is only a 12-minute drive away. Three US border crossing locations are reachable within 20 mins of LOT 16.

These nearby features provide tremendous business and employment opportunities. The population of St. Catharines is expected to grow by nearly 30% in the next two decades, meaning more jobs and developments are coming to Garden City, and investors can look forward to future growth.

LOT 16 is within walking distance of lovely local features, like historic Richard Pierpoint Park, grassy Princess Park, the 45-km long Merritt Trail, the Knifeworks Historic Site, and Canal Valley.

Do I get a cooling-off period? What is it for?

Yes, after you sign the contract to purchase a suite you will have a standard 10-day cooling-off period BUT only in case of high rise Condo units or Condo-Townhomes NOT when you buy Free Hold homes. It’s 10 calendar days, not business days from the time you sign.

The 10 days are primarily for 2 things: 1) to have a lawyer review your contract with you if you wish and 2) to get a mortgage pre-approval letter

Do I need to have a lawyer?

You don’t need to have a lawyer at the moment that you sign the agreement, however, we always recommend that you have a qualified lawyer review your agreement of purchase and sale after you sign and during your 10-day cooling-off period when you buy a Condo unit.

Do I need to have a mortgage pre-approval to buy?

95% of all builders will require you to provide them with proof of financing capability in order to purchase. This is not required before you sign a contract, but it is usually required within 30 to 60 days of signing.

Not sure where to begin? Don’t worry – getting a mortgage pre-approval is something that we may help you with. Contact us for more details.

Do the prices include HST?

 If you are purchasing for yourself and plan to move in, then yes, prices include the HST and there is no HST you will have to pay at final closing.

If you are purchasing as an investment, rental property, then you will have to pay approximately 7.8% of the purchase price as HST on final closing.

This money is remitted to the CRA and later on, we may help you and guide you as to how you can apply to the CRA immediately to get this money back. It usually takes about 1 to 3 month to get your rebate back.

What are my closing costs on a pre-construction condo or house?

Closing costs on a pre-construction condo or house will always be much higher than buying similar property under resale or existing ones. The closing cost of a brand new house or Condo will depend on the actual purchase price of the unit/house you are buying, but it also depends on the builder, the city that you are buying in, and the type of unit/house that you are buying.

Roughly speaking in Toronto you can expect to pay approximately 3-5% of the purchase price in closing costs when purchasing a brand new condo or house.

Contact RE/MAX Team Paliwal  for more details

Are there any ‘hidden’ costs when buying a pre-construction condo unit or home in Greater Toronto, Canada?

No, there are no hidden fees when buying pre-construction condos or houses because all fees must be disclosed in the agreement of purchase and sale. All purchasers must review the agreement and have a lawyer advise them on the exact closing cost amounts. If you need a lawyer to help you we can suggest to you to several expert law firms that will review your agreement in detail.

Is it possible to assign my condo or house? How much is the assignment fee?

Most condo or house builders do allow you to sell your unit/lot or house before its occupancy by you. This process is called selling by “assignment”.

There is usually an assignment fee and a legal fee associated with selling. Costs may range from $1000-10,000. Contact us for more details.
