Buying or Selling Real Estate

Purchasing or selling property in British Columbia involves more than simply signing a contract. Real estate transactions require coordination between purchasers, sellers, municipal authorities, realtors, lenders, mortgage brokers, and lawyers.

We assist clients throughout the transaction process and work with all parties involved to help ensure the transaction proceeds smoothly and efficiently through to completion.

Real Estate Title Transfers

Title transfers commonly arise outside of a traditional purchase or sale transaction, including transfers involving family members, estates, trusts, marriage or separation, and estate planning arrangements.

We prepare and register transfer documentation and advise clients regarding ownership structures and documentation relating to the transfer of property interests.

Easements, Right of Ways, Restrictive Covenants, and Building Schemes

Easements, statutory rights of way, building schemes, and restrictive covenants can affect the use and development of property.

We assist clients with reviewing and interpreting charges registered against title, preparing easement and covenant documentation, and advising on how these charges may affect ownership and use of a property.

Subdivisions

Subdivision and development matters involve legal and regulatory requirements beyond those found in a standard real estate transaction.

We assist clients with subdivision applications, title matters, easement and covenant documentation, strata development matters, and registration requirements associated with development projects.
