I finished my closing yesterday. Yes it was a lot but a good chunk of it went to the upfront taxes for 2011 which the builder will submit on our behalf. Yes we'll end up paying it at some point but thing is we are paying it all now instead of however we wish to pay it. Other than that, my lawyer...

He wasn't that bad with me though. But I can see the arguements.

While I do find that somewhat shocking with him, I will admit I felt a bit rushed with my unit too. But he was very upfront with me on things, stating even if we go over everything there will be issues months from now, that is just how things go. Warranty is covered for some time, and Great Gulf...

Got my final closing date today. So basically any of you who are moving in after December will take title right away.

I spoke with Great Gulf this morning and they confirmed to me that the building registered on Monday of this week. I took occupancy on November 1st, so hopefully I'll see some return on my occupancy payment to the builder :)

Service department for GG has been pretty on top of addressing warranty period issues. Anyone who is logging issues with them be sure to make sure they schedule appointments with you when they will come to your unit to fix or replace items. I had noticed that they had been in my unit while I was...

My hallway just had the carpets put down today, once they vacum it I will see if I can snap a photo.

lets put it this way, even if you bring your own inspector, your closing costs will pay the building inspector's anyway. So in a sense you are paying double for that.

How does one cap the closing costs? as for the occupancy, I would have expected them to ask for post dated cheques instead of 2 months up front. Yes I had my lawyer go through it and they did see that this is the case but found it very unorthodox especially from the rep of a builder like Great...

For those of you who have not moved in yet, just a word of warning. The builder will want 2 months up front of occupancy payment along with lawyer fees. So for those of you moving in this month, they expect you to pay for this month and next month of December. I can only imagine what the closing...

20th floor

The actual inspector works for the builder. My best guess is the inspection costs will be included in the closing costs. I would likely have not noticed the floor issue on my own. He even mentioned it to me before we went up, he was pretty honest with me on just about everything. It is also good...

Ok so I went for my inspection today. For the most part it was quick, and looked well put together. Inspector wasn't happy with the floor installation and they are going to rip it out and do it again. So some touchups here and there. Balcony space is quite big, bedroom a bit small but overall...

Hi all, I am new here but have been viewing the postings of people who have already gone into their units. Looking good so far. I will be inspecting my unit tomorrow, and will take some photos. Hopefully they come out well. It is a Foster unit, so likely this will be one of the first ones...
