Strata Parking May Get Simpler

In its newest report (the “Report”), the British Columbia Law Institute’s formidable committee of strata experts (the “Committee”) recommends more changes to the Strata Property Act (the “Act”). If adopted, these changes will make it easier for a REALTOR® to confirm how strata parking is designated.

 
Background


Depending on the circumstances, a strata parking stall may be: 

• a separate strata lot (except where intended to be used in conjunction with a residential strata lot); 
• part of a strata lot; or
• common property.

The Committee focused on projects where parking is part of the common property. Where a parking stall is common property, it may also be:  

• used under a developer’s long-term lease or license

Waterfront Condo for sale in Victoria

This unit was completely renovated to the highest standard in 2014/2015 by James Joinery, a custom building company that restores many James Bay heritage homes in Victoria. 50 Songhees actually mimics the style of a typical Edwardian country home, the era when bay windows were first incorporated in private homes. The unit features a huge bay window which runs the entire width of the living room and provides water views that are greater than one hundred and eighty degrees.

The owners were true to the Edwardian style of the building in the finishing and materials used in the home— the solid walnut flooring, lighter wall colors and a mixture of dark wood tones with white baseboards and door trims is typical for the

Things to do in Victoria

One of the many great things about living on Vancouver Island is the ability to hike out to incredible places like Mystic Beach | Juan de Fuca Marine Trail.

An hour out of Victoria is this beautiful part of the world. The Juan de Fuca Marine Trail is a rugged 47-kilometre wilderness hiking trail located within Juan de Fuca Provincial Park along the southwestern coast of Vancouver Island. The trail stretches from China Beach, 35 km west of Sooke, to Botanical Beach, just outside Port Renfrew. Panoramic views of the coastline, Juan de Fuca Strait and the Olympic Mountains can be seen from many points along this rainforest trail.
