Gord and I want to thank you for all your help in selling our home and helping us find our new condo. Your patience in explaining to Gord and me about condos, what to look out for and the time you took to show us condos across London. As you know, our previous experience with a real estate agent was regrettable and costly for us. I must say that your name kept being referred to us, and you thank you so much for recouping most of the money lost with the previous agent. Again, Ty, we can never repay you for your time and kindness, but be assured, everyone we know will now know about Envelope Real Estate.

Hundreds of Buyers Have Trusted Us — Here’s Why

Buying a condo in London, Ontario, an apartment, a townhouse, or a townhome takes much more care and skill than purchasing a house. You are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, but what would happen if?

  • You move in and discover you cannot have a pet,
  • modify a room, or
  • or limited parking
  • The condo corporation has a lien
  • Or insufficient money in the reserve fund?

This Is Why We Love What We Do!

Ty was truly exceptional. When we first met him, we were impressed with his level of knowledge and the amount of data he had about the condo market. The delivery of the information was straightforward: presenting the information and discussing pros/cons/strategy for moving forward made us feel he had our best interests in mind. He was always so candid and provided his own perspective on different aspects of each townhome that he thought would be relevant to our decision-making. Ty works with you to make your desires a reality. His cool, calm mindset kept our anxiety low and gave us the confidence he would get the job done – and he did. Not only did he make us feel like are our needs are first priority, we felt like we had all the information we need to make those decisions. Finally, he helped us figure out the best way to position our offer and what price to go in at to give us the absolute best chance that the sellers would accept our offer. We felt like we were working with our best friend rather than a real estate agent.

Make buying a townhouse or townhome simpler and less stressful!

A Parable

In a seller’s market, buyers rushed in—even when it was hard to win.

In today’s buyer’s market, buyers hesitate—even when it’s easy to win.

The irony? You only know the “bottom” of the market once it’s already passed.

  • Right now in London & area, buyers hold the advantage:
  • More homes to choose from
  • Negotiating power
  • Less competition

Don’t let fear or bad advice cost you the best opportunity in years. 

Want to make buying an apartment condo in London more accessible and less stressful?

Size, style, price, and condition are all factors to consider, but what about?

  1. Who lives here? What age group? Children?
  2. What are the average days on the market for these condos?
  3. How long has this unit been on the market & how many times?
  4. Is there planned construction that will affect your views or traffic flows?

If you do make an offer, how about:

  1. A Financing Clause, if necessary?
  2. A Home Inspection: Yes, it is a condo, and the corporation may cover the roof, windows, and doors, but Put it in!
  3. A Status Certificate—The financial situation of the condo corporation. Don’t rely on your lawyer’s opinion because they are not accountants or financial advisers.
  4. What are the condo rules, pets, visitor parking, etc? (A good real estate lawyer will be able to tell you that after they have reviewed the status report)
  5. What percentage of units occupied are owner-occupied vs renters? (A good real estate lawyer will be able to tell you that after he or she has reviewed the status report)

So, it can be exciting and fun to look for and select a condo to buy in London, Ontario, but if you let emotions cloud your judgment, the process could become costly or cause dissatisfaction in a few months!

Like any great meal or a piece of cake,  it helps to know what ingredients make it great and in what order they are entered!

You’ve Made an Offer on a Condo, and It’s Been Accepted – Now What?

Do’s & Don’ts for Buyers.

This home purchase checklist outlines the most common mistakes buyers make, which can create messy situations leading up to closing.

Don’t Buy a Car or New Furniture

It’s an exciting time to dream of living in your new home, with all new furniture, and driving that new car. Until the lender has fully vetted your finances, making big purchases can disrupt your debt-to-income ratio (DTI).

Don’t Make Large Cash Deposits or Move Money Around

Don’t mislead your lender when they ask about your income, other sources of income, or anything that might affect your ability to qualify for your mortgage loan. Be upfront and honest.

a couple reading Envelope Real state's dos and don'ts

Don’t Apply for Credit or Increase Your Limits

When the lender’s underwriter verifies your income, DTI, and ability to repay the loan, they take a snapshot of your financial situation. If you apply for additional credit or increase credit limits, you’re just throwing a wrench into their process.

Don’t Co-sign for Anyone

It doesn’t matter if it’s your brother or sister, aunt, cousin, or closest friend; don’t co-sign anything when qualifying for a mortgage. When you co-sign anything–from a rental application to a car note–you’re putting yourself on the hook for anything that might go wrong, which could damage your dreams of home ownership in a flash.

A Few More Don’ts!

Don’t Get Behind on Your Payments

Qualifying for a home loan is no small thing, and it’s typically a longer process than many think. Now is not the time to skip a payment on your existing car note or your light bill. Those payments keep your credit score up.

Don’t Change Jobs or Careers

This is a big one, especially if you’re relocating. If you don’t need to change jobs, wait until you close on your new home. You may need to change jobs if you’re moving to another city; however, don’t do it while buying a new home.

Don’t Change Banks

Don’t change banks in the middle of qualifying for a loan. Your lenders don’t want to search for your money after they start working on your loan.

Don’t Close Credit Cards or Max Them Out

Believe it or not, closing a credit card can negatively impact your credit score. In essence, you’re losing some of your credit ceiling when you close a credit card, which, in turn, upsets your DTI ratio. For the same reason, avoid overusing your credit cards, as any negative impact on your credit score could cost you now and in the long run.

Do Save Enough Money for Closing

Set that money aside, and don’t spend it. Why? You will incur moving costs and unexpected incidentals that you may not have considered.

When Consolidating Debt

Ask your lender about debt consolidation before you consider other options. Consolidating can sometimes negatively affect your credit score, which could set your timeline back by months.

Wait Before Making Big Financial Changes

Wait until you have signed the closing documents on your new home, that the money has been transferred to the seller’s lawyer, and you receive keys to the property before making any significant changes in your finances.

Freehold condominiums fall into one of three categories:

1. Standard condominium corporations

This could be a building divided into condo units, row townhouses or stand-alone townhouses. 

Your money buys you:

  • Ownership of your unit and
  • A partial interest in the property’s common elements and assets, such as hallways, elevators, etc.

2. Common elements of condominium corporations

This type of corporation has common elements like roads, a golf course, or a ski hill. Owners enjoy the common elements and jointly fund their maintenance and repair.

  • You own your house and the land on which it sits and
  • all owners within the community share ownership of the roads and community centre.

Your interest in the corporation is attached to the parcel of land you own, not your house. The parcel of land on which

3. Vacant land condominium corporations

In this type of corporation:

  • Structures can be built after the declarant registers the condominium.
  • Several types of structures can be accommodated in a single development.

It’s essential to read the condo’s declaration, which may restrict development size, construction or design standards and maintenance requirements.

Leasehold condominium corporations

The condominium corporation does not own the land in a leasehold condominium. Purchasers buy a leasehold interest in units and the common elements, meaning they do not own the land. The Condominium Act treats leasehold condominiums much like freehold condominiums. The key differences are:

  • A common expenses fee includes a portion of the rent payable to the landowner.
  • Once the ground lease expires, the owner’s right to occupy the unit is automatically terminated.
