BATV - Buying a condo at the Olympic Village - Millennium Water - Vancouver

(Note: see updated Video dated Feb 13, 2011 )
Commentary by Ron Usher, a Vancouver Lawyer and Notary Pubic, on what to watch for when buying a new condo at the Olympic Village project. The key is to carefully read and understand the sale contract and the Developer's "Disclosure Statement". In particular prospective owners will want to understand the "LEED" ( http://www.cagbc.org ) features of the project, and the impact of leased environmental monitoring and other equipment on monthly strata fees. For sales information on the Olympic Village see http://www.millenniumwater.com/ . Further consumer information can be found at the Bell Alliance law firm web site http://www.bellalliance.ca There is also good consumer information at http://www.fic.gov.bc.ca/responsibilities/strataowners/instruction_guides.htm and http://www.fic.gov.bc.ca/responsibilities/strataowners/faqs.htm
