What The Queensway actually is, who plans it, every approval and appeal along it, the real transit distances, and the seven things repeated about it that a City of Toronto source contradicts.
Since 1 April 2026 purchasers must notify Tarion of a new home purchase within 45 days. From 1 January 2027, missing it moves freehold buyers from full deposit coverage to a share of a capped $15 million fund.
Ontario assessments are frozen at 1 January 2016 values and no reassessment date has been announced. What that means for buyers, how the bill is really calculated, and the 120-day deadline that catches new-build owners.
Toronto levies a municipal land transfer tax and Peel legally cannot. On a $900,000 purchase that is $14,475 more on the Etobicoke side, in cash, on closing day. The statutory reason, and what else changes.
The Condominium Act does not use the phrase “special assessment”, there is no owner vote and no prescribed notice. What the reserve fund study and the board’s funding plan actually tell you, and how to get them.
What a condominium fee legally is, the four reasons a per-square-foot comparison misleads, the four documents that answer the question, and the published method behind my quarterly fee data.
Ontario charges 25 per cent and Toronto adds 10 per cent. Permanent residents are outside both. Work permit holders and students are not, and their transitional rebates closed on 31 March 2025.
CMHC’s published newcomer criteria, the three ways to establish creditworthiness without a Canadian credit file, and the foreign buyer ban that runs to 1 January 2027. Process and rules only.
Licence status, warranty history, regulatory actions, the insolvency page and the statutory addendum. What is publicly checkable about an Ontario builder, and what is not.
Occupancy fees are interest, taxes and common expenses under s. 80(4), and none of it pays down the price. The prescribed rate is the Bank of Canada posted one-year mortgage rate, fixed on the first of the month you move in. Calculator included.
