Greater Victoria Condos for Sale

In every case, ask for the Form B, bylaws, recent minutes, financial statements and the depreciation report. Those records show fees, reserves and any special levies or envelope work. A downtown tower, a new Langford building and a boutique low-rise in Oak Bay, Saanich or Esquimalt can have very different amenities, insurance costs and planned work. We go through the documents with you before subjects come off.

Since late 2022, long-term rental bans have no longer been allowed across British Columbia, and age restrictions are limited to 55 and over, but pet and short-term rental bylaws remain common and must be read with each municipality's rules and provincial law. We review the bylaws of each building with you.

Fees typically cover building insurance, common-area maintenance and the contingency reserve, and sometimes heat, hot water or amenities. A harbour-view tower and a smaller low-rise can include very different services, and insurance or envelope plans can move the number as well. We compare fees alongside what they cover and the age and condition of the building.
