What is the range in fees of these lawyers? Is there an average in terms of fees?

Thanks alot for the breakdown. This is anxiety provoking. I bought new homes before but this is my first condo purchase. I purchased a unit in X condos (Great Gulf Homes) on a lower level. I hope GGH won't take that long too register and there won't be a huge time between occupancy and closing...

Thanks all for your feedback. The black appliances actually look pretty good in these pics!

Hi Xboys: Those pics are in the project and construction forum under The X Condominium thread. I agree, those pics were Xcellent.

Thanks Simuls. I have been asking friends and a few people about laminate vs hardwood; they all have the same view as you. I don't care if it is laminate as long as it looks like hardwood.

SS Appliance. Another question to all; is ss appliances better in terms of resale value of a condo. It seems that ss appliances is a standard these days and could break a deal if there was a similar unit with ss appliances (to compare with). I really think the black or white appliances GGH is...

Thanks for the reassurance Solaris! Isn't top quality laminate flooring also good in terms of noise reduction? There was the very dark color hardwood upgrade I really liked and they quoted it as $7000 k. Obviously, not worth it.

I am trying to upload the picture of the hardwood/laminate (?) I chose but it seems to fail.

Actually, the features list attached to my purchase of agreement says "choice of pre-engineered flooring". A choice could mean an upgrade to hardwood. It is odd though because the upgrade list that I was given says hardwood. I actually asked the decor centre staff who told me laminate that looks...

Hi: I have a question, in the x condo features list, it says we will be getting "pre-engineered" flooring. I assumed this would be pre-engineered hardwood, but the decor centre lady told me it is laminate. I am not sure she knew what she was talking about. She said in order to get hardwood, I...

Absolutely stunning!!

Electrical outlets on the ceiling for light fixtures; apparently, GGH is not including celing rough in for light fixtures as standard; it is an upgrade.

Thanks Kennyx, I did not know about the foundation for the wall mount. I also forgot to ask them some questions but it is no surprise given they only give us an hour to choose.

Hi: I did ask and my understanding is that all the wiring will be hidden under the drywall. This way when we put up or LCD or plasma tv, no wiring will show, it will just look like a picture frame. It has nothing to do with a stronger foundation for a wall mount. Other wires for dvd, stereo...

Thanks cdr108. Actually, the upgrades I selected are not extravagant and not unnecessary (for me). I am second guessing because 1) everything in the neutra costs more i.e. hardwood, etc. bc of the sq. footage and 2) i am thinking that by paying 10 k toward upgrades means 10 k more in my...

Hi All: A few days ago, I went to do the selections with GGH and felt so rushed!! How can they expect us to decide in one hour when we have not seen any of the standards or upgrades before? I am now having second thoughts about some of the upgrades I chose and I am wondering if it is possible...

Thank-you for the pics!!

Mackintosh is priced at 330 k on the 42nd floor. The price list I am looking at is from two weeks ago.

Thanks so much cdr108. I am sure that when the the building is complete and phase 2 opens, the prices of the units will seriously appreciate (given the location and fact that 1 Bloor will not be happening). Have you guys seen the black cadding today. It looks stunning! This condo will look...

Thanks cdr108! Greatly appreciate it.
