Here are commonly asked questions by purchasers:


What is the difference between a divided and undivided condo?

Divided condominium:

• In the case of a divided condominium, each co-proprietor owns their own apartment.  The buyer must take on a mortgage independently to acquire his part.  He will also become part owner of the common amenities of the building if such applies: parking area, pool and elevators..etc.

• The other owners are not liable for the mortgage taken by the new owner.


Undivided condominium:

• An undivided co-ownership is one or more people acquiring a building in common.  For example, it would be the case if four people buy a fourplex and none owned a separate unit.

• This type of joint ownership is rarely accompanied by secured mortgages, that is to say, the owners are mutually responsible for the mortgages taken on by the other.

• Important detail: to buy an undivided co-ownership, you generally need to put 20% cash down.  A written clause with rules to be followed by each co-owner should also be registered.  Therefore, the financing and the notary are usually imposed.  An important advantage is the savings related to municipal and school taxes (about 50% of divided condominiums).


Fees related to a purchase?

• The GST and QST are not applicable on previously owned properties,

• Taxes apply only to properties sold by a promoter, so either new houses and condominiums or those who have been renovated more than 90%.


General costs related to a transaction:

• Property inspection: 600$

• Notary fee: 1300$

• Moving: 1000$
