I have a friend who works for Tarrion so I will be taking them with me. I definitely would recommend taking someone who has had experience doing these PDIs so they can point out what to look for and help you be thorough.

For anyone who's purchase price is over $330,000 - yes... $5000 was definitely wishful thinking... but I'm glad it won't be as high as 10k for me. It's just more of a relief being given a more direct estimate.

I have some info about closing costs.... I was getting really nervous about these 'unknown' closing costs like levies etc; so I emailed the developers directly to see if they can at least give me a ballpark amount to set aside for this. Their reply was : "I would suggest to put aside between 2%...

Yeah - this is the only thing that's really bugging me right now. You mentioned that you were able to get a cap? If you don't mind me asking, were you able to get a cap of a specific monetary value? The 'existing levy' thing is so vague.... this coupled with the HST and mortgage rates rising...

My understanding is that the HST will apply to pretty much everything after July 1st of this year. If you're in the lower floors and you move in before July1st you'll probably be lucky enough to avoid the HST affecting your closing costs. But anytime after that apparently everything from legal...

My lawyer wasn't able to get the developer's lawyers to agree to a SPECIFIC monetary value for the cap on the levies... they only agreed that they wouldn't charge me any more than the 'existing levies' imposed as of the date of the purchase agreement :( That's the only thing that's worrying me...

The sales staff had mentioned that 2 months worth of your monthly maintenance fee will be expected for the closing costs. I don't know if this is the only thing or if there are other fees to be expected - I would assume the latter. I was told that this 2 month upfront payment will go into the...

Thank you. That's a relief.

I think all of the buildings have a small gym in each plus a party room - all very standard stuff for condos. I was talking about the pool and fitness centre etc; etc; which tend to make maintenance fees go up very quickly - the cost for those will be shared by all 4 buildings so according to...

I was told by the sales staff that since Club Liberty will be shared by all 4 phases, once the 4th building has been completed and occupied, there is a possibility of the maintenance fee going down slightly. In essence, they said, we could think of the whole complex as similar to a high rise...

I agree ^_^ At first when I saw the last letter from Liberty that I got telling me of another delay, I was annoyed - especially since I pass by it every day and both buildings looked like they were well on schedule for the previous completion date I was given.... Now, it's just a matter of...

Here are some updated shots from yesterday: M1: M2: Both: Sunroof Dome for Club Liberty... I think... (between M2 & M3): Looks like the Underground Parking: M1 Sheppard Entrance: Close-up of Balcony finish:

It can't come soon enough >_< It's a bit of torture passing by it everyday to go to work - especially on snow days... knowing that I could be living there... 10 minutes away from work, but instead heading home on the bus at the start of 1.5 hour treck home.... Yes - I picked my finishes early...

LOL - well then, dude, allow me to correct myself - I guess I got a good deal - due to some yet-unannounced changes and lucky timing on my part. Either way, the costs for these upgrades are ridiculous so perhaps those on the fence about upgrading or not, doing-it-yourself might be a better...

Mostly kept to something from the standard selections - but then I have the fortunate advantage of having a lot of upgrades already included since I'm on one of the penthouse levels. I stuck to dark woods & light tiles because the other lighter tones from the standard selections looked really...

I guess the penthouse levels got a pretty good deal as all of those upgrades are included - plus undermount sinks, cornice moulding, ss appliances & hardwood flooring. I was not impressed with the standard kitchen showroom they had and I cringed at how much some of these upgrades would've costed...

LOL - I'm tempted to... I bought this place to relieve the commute I'm dealing with and passing by it everyday and watching it just sit there doesn't make it any easier. I remeber briefly looking into Gramercy Park as well... that one is also taking a ridiculously long time, isn't it? I saw an...

Yeah - I wasn't too impressed with their standard kitchen showroom (though the granite countertop they have there is nice - but not with that white and light wood combination... blegh). Fortunately the penthouse levels come with certain upgrades included in the price of the unit (like the...

I got a notice as well - pushed back to end of August for M1 LP level :( I pass by this place everyday for work... they look like they have more than enough completed... if they extend again I'm going to flip out.

Finishes I hope this is allowed... I just went for my finishes selection and snapped some shots of the show rooms and selections. Standard Kitchen Standard Sink with Built-in Vegetable Spray Stanless Steel Upgrade Kitchen Standard Bathroom Cabinet Handle...
