You may be concentrating on selecting the perfect floor plan, the right finishes and whether or not to purchase upgrades, but today, new neighbourhoods offer so much more than just a house or condominium to go home to. Many communities are built with a very specific buyer in mind and can come with special conveniences or facilities. For example, a development catering to young families might have a brand new school, parks, or even a new community centre with a swimming pool.

How long do I have to wait? For condominium living, new construction projects may be sold with plans for indoor or outdoor pools, a lounge, and perhaps a putting green or tennis court. However, you may have to wait some time before everything is completed. In fact, you may be living in a construction zone when you first move in. Under Ontario's new home warranty program, there is compensation for delays when it comes to your unit, but there is no warranty protection for delays in the completion of the common elements. So although your condo unit may be ready, the common elements such as the lobby, hallways and any other amenities like a gym or pool room may still be under construction for a period of time after you take possession of your unit. Another important part of the new home buying process is the warranty protection that is provided by your builder and backed by Tarion.
