Freehold

When you buy freehold townhouses for sale in Brampton, you own that land and house outright. You don’t have to worry about co-owners or co-managers, but you are solely responsible for property maintenance, upkeep, and taxes.

Reasons to Buy a Freehold Townhouse in Brampton

With a freehold townhouse for sale, Brampton buyers own the structure and the underlying land with no additional rental charges or fees. But freehold properties are more expensive than comparable leaseholds and you are responsible for all maintenance and upkeep.

Re-Sale

A re-sale townhome is one that has already been built and has been placed on the market by its current owner. A re-sale townhome may be sold as a freehold or leasehold transfer.

Reasons to Buy a ReSale Townhome

When you buy a resale property, you don’t have to worry about construction delays and you can inspect the property before committing to a purchase. But you have no options to customise your property before moving in.

Existing Townhomes with Condo fee's

You want a carefree lifestyle and don’t want to spend any time upkeeping your home; the condo corporation is responsible for underground parking, snow removal and exterior repairs. You want a more affordable home and are okay paying the monthly maintenance fees.

Why Choose a Brampton Townhouse?

A townhouse gives you more autonomy than a condo. You have more flexibility to remodel your townhome than a condominium, and townhomes generally have more space than condos.

Townhouses are generally less expensive than detached homes. And because townhomes are built on smaller plots, they typically require less money and time for maintenance. Townhouses governed by a homeowner’s association share maintenance expenses among homeowners. Almost all new townhouses in Brampton have HOAs, though some older ones may not.

Rent VS Buy

Your rent check goes into someone else’s bank account every month.Homeownership is an asset that gives you shelter and provides returns on your investment.

New Construction VS Resale Brampton Townhomes for Sale
