Buying & Selling Stratas/Condos
What is a Strata?
Properties covered by the BC Strata Property Act include condos, duplexes, townhouses, and other types of residential and sometimes commercial developments. Living in a strata development means that while you purchase your property as an individual, all owners within the strata development own common property as a strata corporation. The strata corporation acts as a single unit to determine budgets, develop bylaws, conduct meetings and decision making in cooperation with all owners.
