Real Estate Transfers

According to an internal online survey conducted by the Society of Notaries Public of BC in May 2016, these are some of the common mistakes or misunderstandings among home buyers and sellers:
- Not everyone realizes Notaries can complete real estate documentation;
- Buyers do not know whether they qualify for a Property Transfer Tax exemption;
- Many buyers are unfamiliar with all the costs and fees required to complete their purchase or sale;
- Sellers are often unaware that GST is payable on top of the realtor commissions;
- Many buyers and sellers are confused about the meaning of key dates: completion/closing date and adjustment/possession date;
- Many people are not aware that Notaries prepare the mortgage documentation for the lender (bank or financial institution);
- There is confusion around understanding how the property tax year and payment cycle is calculated.
