I have a north facing unit on a lower floor and have no issues with condensation.

I still have one small item left unresolved on my PDI. Not worth pursuing them anymore. I'm sure when closing, they will include a waiver that allows them to enter your suite to remove the blinds. As for the holes left behind, I doubt they will patch them. As for quality of builder, they...

I just got a response from an email I sent to the builder on December 21st. I completely forgot I sent this email. The builder acknoweledges that 34c in the disclosure statement only states uniformity as set by the condo board. They make an offer to subsidize 25% if we sign the document and...

I spoke to him in December. This is a cash grab. He tried to reason with me on why I should sign the letter and send back to him. He asked when I bought my unit and said I would be happy with current prices. He also said by the time my lawyer gets involved it's cheaper just to pay for the...

Just finished speaking with my lawyer, Ghadaki acknowledges that the addition of blinds or other items are not in the agreement. He now claims it's in a disclosure booklet. He is sending to my lawyer and I will find out once she looks it over. I have never seen or knew about this 'disclosure...

My deficiencies (most of them) were fixed. I had to call Kyle 6 times but finally had them fixed.

I don't think it works this way. The contract is always written in the builder's favour. My lawyer is looking into this and has spoke to Ghadaki who quoted a subsection of the agreement 34c. Unfortunately, my agreement doesn't have a 34c so she is calling him back to get the section of the...

Slow down and speak with your lawyer. He/She will send a letter to the builder politely asking them to remove the item from closing. When I spoke to Ghadaki, it was obvious its a cash grab. He's aware that early purchasers have done really well with this project and he's just trying to get...

He hinted that I have made alot of money on the unit and just pay the charge..........He was a piece of work on the phone. He spent 5 minutes telling me why they installed the blinds (He never stopped to breathe). When I mentioned, I sent a copy to my lawyer and am waiting for her response...

I just spoke to Hashern Ghadaki at the 500 Sherbourne and he acknowledged that the roller shade cost is not in our purchase agreement. He also admitted during the PDI that Kyle never mentioned there would be a fee for the blinds. The guy was a piece of work, he asked me when I purchased the...

I just received a letter on the weekend from the builder. They are adding the cost of the blinds approx $900 to my closing costs. I don't remember agreeing to them providing the blinds. Anyone else get this letter? Seems like another cash grab... I wonder what other suprises are lurking in...

Yes. That was my reasoning for doing those upgrades through the builder. It was basically the same money after factoring the cost of removing all the standard product the builder installs. The builder charged me $1,900 for a rain head. When I discussed it with a kitchen and bath store, he...

No problem. I will send you a PM once I find his name and number.

I agree with paying the premium on hard to do things like some of the upgrades in the kitchen and bathroom. My builder wanted $5,700 for smooth ceilings and $12,000 for the top upgrade hardwood on a 900 sq ft unit. I had the builder leave the ceiling raw and have a contractor that will do it...

My builder wanted $400 per pot light and would only do it in the bathrooms (existing drop ceiling). Easy project to do after occupancy.......i think.

yes, sorry for the confusion. I spent most of my upgrade budget with the builder in the kitchen (counters, sink, island upgrade, and cabinets) and the bathroom (frameless glass, rain head, tile, sink and counter). Other upgrades will get done after I get occupancy. You can upgrade anything...

If he's using the 5% cash back from TD the rate is much higher like 5%.....and I seriously doubt CMHC will insure this mortgage with 45K income. A mortgage broker in my office is laughing at your claims......he says less than 200K for a 5% rate and $250k for 2.5% rate (which the bank can't...

I have not been notified yet, however a friend who bought in the building was notified by his lawyer last friday.

Not a chance any bank would underwrite this. This mortgage would have to go to CMHC or GE for insurance. Your numbers are wrong or your friend used fake NOA's to get this mortgage.

I agree capped ceiling outlet in the bedroom (sometimes an option) and maybe one above the breakfast bar. Hardwood floor in the bedroom if not too pricy. Difficult to match the wood aftewards. Kitchen and bathroom fixtures are a ripoff from the builder. Smooth ceilings are a nice touch and...
