Could this property be “the one”? Here’s an overview of the steps involved in becoming the owner. These steps and the legal implications remain the same whether the property is purchased from an individual or through a broker.
One of the first things to do when looking for a property is to get a mortgage preapproval from a financial institution. The goal is to determine borrowing capacity, and as a result, the price range to be looking in.
The property suits the budget and needs? Time to submit an offer to purchase! This document sets out the price, the elements included in the sale, the possession date, the conditions of purchase and all other information relevant to the sale.
Need the form?
The offer to purchase generally includes conditions. The most common are the property passing an inspection, the buyer providing proof of financing and the buyer selling their own property. Once the listed conditions are met, the property is considered sold.
The last step is to see a notary, who is generally chosen by the buyer. This real estate professional drafts the deed of sale and ensures that the interests of all parties involved are respected.
Once the deed of sale is notarized, the new owner gets the keys to the home. All that’s left is to move in!

Owners’ comments
Large one-acre plot of land located in the Carver estate (residential project) in Morin-Heights in the Laurentians. Within walking distance of services (grocery store, pharmacy, SAQ, bakery) and resort trails (Petit train du Nord). The calm of living in the forest while enjoying nearby services, the dream!
Located in a wooded area, on a dead-end street with no rear neighbors, this land is ready to accommodate a new construction.
The land is on 2 levels, ideal for those who want a garden level, but all styles of houses are possible. You will have a view of the mountains from the top of the 2nd landing.
Two Scandinavian-style house plans were designed for this land. We can provide them, if necessary.
This land is sold by an individual, but the management of this area is led by Construction Lafco. You will therefore not have to find a contractor to carry out your project.
*Clarifications: the photos are dated 2021. Houses have been built on neighboring land since then.
