The Playbook

An eight-point review.

1. 01

   Deposit schedule

   How much is due, and when. Most projects ask for staged deposits — typically 5% at signing, 5% within months, then later tranches. Read the schedule line by line; the dates matter for cash-flow planning.

2. 02

   Completion + extensions

   The expected completion window, the developer's right to extend, and the buyer's options if extensions stretch. Outside-completion dates and rescission rights are not standard across projects.

3. 03

   Assignment clause

   Whether you can sell the contract before completion, and on what terms. Some developers permit one assignment with a fee; others restrict it entirely. This affects your exit options.

4. 04

   Disclosure amendments

   Developers can amend the disclosure statement during the build. Material amendments give buyers a short rescission window — but the clock starts the day the amendment is delivered. Watch your inbox.

5. 05

   GST + foreign-buyer tax

   GST applies to most new construction. Foreign-buyer additional tax applies in much of Greater Vancouver. Both have rebate programs with eligibility tests; both belong in the budget conversation upfront.

6. 06

   Mortgage timing

   Final mortgage approval typically can't be locked years in advance. Most buyers carry a pre-approval at signing and re-qualify closer to completion. Rate movement between today and completion is the largest variable.

7. 07

   Strata details

   Anticipated strata fees, what they include, parking and storage assignments, pet and rental rules. Read the proposed bylaws and budget — both can change before completion but the disclosure version is the baseline.

8. 08

   Developer track record

   How they've delivered prior projects — on time, on quality, on warranty response. Past completion is one of the few honest predictors of future completion.
