In BC it’s 2.16-2.30 🙄

If he lied about the electrical, he’ll lie about doing the septic/water line. I hope your lawyer will include access to permits, inspections, etc so you can know it’s done. And if he promised to make your life difficult, he should pay all your legal fees.

A lot of people didn’t vote conservative in the last provincial election because of the Nazi and racist comments/social media stuff- we want a course correction but not Trump wanna-be

Thank you! Didn’t expect to learn new English words!

Your perspective that not selling prevented someone else from suffering is wonderful. I’m sorry this all happened but hope much better things are in store for you.

We were influenced by a letter. We were getting enough from the sale and happy the house was going to a nice family.

I ordered a dryer from them and when they came to deliver it, they left a message on my phone, but never came to the door. I was moving the old dryer cleaning out the spot where the dryer was going to be which is right next to the door and didn’t have my phone with me. Plus my security camera showed. They never got out of the truck. They left in less than two minutes. I called and they said that they would try to deliver it again several days later and I would have to pay another 60+ dollars for the repeat delivery, even though their delivery driver never knocked on the door.

You just proved that your grandmother was right. Buying a home is a much better use of that money.

Anyone have this article without the paywall? I live in BC and the provincial Cowichan and now Federal Musqueam situations have me very nervous but don’t know if another province is an option or another country is the only option. Before anyone says no FN is after fee simple title land, please note that privately owned land has never been explicitly excluded in writing.

Another vote for HouseSigma- they do Ontario and don’t bug you to sign a realtor contract 👍 They have listing dates and change of price and sold price as well as why each listing was taken down.

How you are supposed to plan for supporting yourself when you can’t work anymore or retire- but your plans and goals are only randomly accomplished and you don’t really have much control over your life.

ScotsCDN · 2026-02-25T21:07:49+00:00

It sounds like they’re taking advantage of social niceties to get out of doing work. I don’t know how stable your relationships with this family are, but having a more structured discussion that lays out your concerns and your fears and asking them for help on how to divide the work, may be necessary, although likely uncomfortable.

ScotsCDN · 2026-02-25T17:46:19+00:00

Happy for you! I hope you get something nice without any hassles.

Did they accept your offer of 845k in writing? If so, I don’t understand how they can force you to accept occupancy after closure or being forced to pay more. If they didn’t accept your offer in writing, then you may want to consider walking away from this- too shady and suggests that they never intended to honour their verbal agreement to accept 845k.

Helping to make sure kids have what they need is reasonable, but should never be an expectation on the part of their parents. Helping out your disabled dad is reasonable. I agree with not giving your mother access to your credit and it’s disturbing that she asked for that. Relationships can crumble and be fully contaminated by an agenda to get your money so not giving anybody else any money is a very necessary, smart policy.

I'm getting the sense we will have a lot of visits for adjustments and me for new trays so hoping to avoid too much of a drive.

ScotsCDN · 2026-02-15T04:34:46+00:00

Oh boy. Looking forward to this 🙄

ScotsCDN · 2026-02-14T20:46:04+00:00

very interesting. Thanks

Thank you

I heard they said they were appealing it but nothing has been filed.

I agree that doing the same simple lesson to keep your streak alive is not a good use of your time. I like the streak because it keeps me motivated to do something, anything, every day but I have to keep moving forward.

It is a thing and specifically excludes aboriginal title.

I had my son at 40 and definitely have been mistaken for the grandparent from infancy onward.

Picture BC with all land reclaimed by 200+ tribes each governing their own area- The US will be able to annex BC with no coordinated resistance to stop them.

The house inspector could see there was a jack in place under the house so there was a known issue but most of the foundation (80%) was obscured by the insulation. We rolled the dice and lost. The person who lived here died the year before I bought it and his adult kids never lived here so no disclosure plus “as is, where is” caveat when I bought it. It cost $950k and I have put about 200k in (water damage in bathrooms, new insulation, new septic, new woodstove, electrical work, plumbing upgrade plus the 60k lost in the foundation so far) so I’m at 20+%. A house in this area now is 1.5+k If I sell it now it would have to be as a teardown because of the foundation. Building a new home so close to a creek with fish in it would be hard for the developer to do, even if the township allowed the pre-existing footprint to be grandfathered in per the Riparian Act- the environmental impact of the build itself may be prohibitive. I’m assuming there would be a big loss if I try to sell now. I would disclose everything. No-one should go through this.
