BC NOTARIES’ BUST COMMON HOME BUYING MYTHS -3

admin ajax.php?action=kernel&p=image&src=file%3Dwp content%252Fuploads%252F14
  1. Myth:  If the seller has deferred paying property taxes, it won’t affect selling their home.

“While the purchaser would not be on the hook for these outstanding taxes, the property title cannot transfer to new owners until it’s paid,” says Laurie Salvador, a Notary Public in Sidney. “This is the responsibility of the seller and is taken care of by the seller’s Notary as part of the closing process.”

  1. Myth:  You can always get the best deal on a mortgage if you do it yourself.

 

“Often a mortgage broker can negotiate a better interest rate and terms for your mortgage needs than you would be able to secure on your own,” says Filip de Sagher, a Vancouver Notary Public.
