Buying Your New Home

Buying a home is a very exciting but stressful process. For most people it is their largest single investment. We want to make the process as easy and understandable as possible. Our objective is to help home buyers understand some of the costs involved in buying a home as well as the process to go from having an accepted Contract of Purchase and Sale and an approved mortgage to becoming the legal owner and receiving the keys to their new home.

We know how stressful the process can be so don’t hesitate to call our offices and speak to Richard or Ron for any further assistance. Bell Alliance acts for clients primarily in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland of British Columbia but the information provided applies throughout B.C. We also act for clients outside of B.C. where we utilize technology to streamline the closing process. 

“What’s it going to cost to close my purchase?” is usually the most pressing question for home buyers once they have found their new home. And for most buyers they’re thinking just in terms of legal fees when they really need information on:

• Legal Costs;

• Third Party Closing Costs;

• Property Transfer Tax and Goods and Services Tax

• and Closing Adjustments.

“What do I do now?” is usually the second most commonly asked question for home buyers. They’ve entered into a binding contract of purchase and sale and been approved for their mortgage but the rest of the process is confusing – what do they need to do and when? There are any number of questions that arise and we want to help home buyers understand that process. Take a look at the Closing Process.

And for Non-Resident Buyers there are some special considerations.

And remember we are here to help so don’t hesitate to call Richard or Ron if you have any questions.
