Is Ville-Marie right for you?

Ville-Marie suits those who want to live without a car, close to work or school. For condos, read the minutes, the contingency fund study and the declaration of co-ownership carefully before committing. In Vieux-Montréal, a building located in the heritage site is subject to special rules for renovations. Also visit at different times of day: noise from festivals, traffic or construction varies greatly from one street to another.

Are there restrictions on buying in Vieux-Montréal?

Old Montreal (Vieux-Montréal) is a heritage site: exterior work and certain renovations are regulated. Find out about the required authorizations before buying if you plan to make changes.

Why have a home inspected before buying?

The pre-purchase inspection reveals the condition of the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical system and any signs of moisture. It lets you negotiate or walk away depending on the conditions of your offer to purchase. Be present at the inspection: it is the best way to understand the home you are buying.
