WHAT IS A LEASEHOLD PROPERTY, SHARES IN COOP AND FREEHOLD STRATA? In Vancouver we typically find three different types of condos or apartments as far as the kind of ownership or title you have over the land.You will find freehold, leasehold and shares in cooperative.
Freehold Strata The most common type we come across is a freehold strata. With this type the owner has all the rights to the property such as you would a house. You own that specific unit that was purchased and it’s yours to sell at anytime you like to whomever you like. The strata or city has no governance over what you can do with your title to the unit. Of course, you still have to adhere to BC Strata Laws as well as the Strata Bylaws. Leasehold Strata Another type we come across is a leasehold strata. In Vancouver, these are most common around False Creek. Rather than sell the land, the city has made a decision to keep the title to it and lease out it to a developer. Part of the reasoning behind it is that the city wants control over Vancouver’s valuable land to ensure that the buildings are always updated. The city leases the land to a developer who then builds and passes on the cost of the lease to the buyers. It will either be lump sum upfront which is called prepaid leasehold or it’s paid month to month which is called not prepaid leasehold. The lease usually runs for 99 years and the dollar amount of the lease is based on how much the land is worth. The amount is reassessed every X number of years depending on what the lease agreement says.We haven’t seen leaseholds come up for assessment during the 99 year term and the lease rate has jumped significantly. Just imagine how much land value changes every 25 years in Vancouver so it’s not uncommon for a $400 a month lease to double. We haven’t seen leases expire completely yet so it’s not perfectly clear what will happen at that time. The city will either renew the lease or buy out everyone at fair market value and release to a developer to have a new building in place. Many of the leasehold around False Creek expire close to 2040. Important Factor to Keep in Mind About Leasehold Strata: Let’s say you buy a leasehold in 2012 and the lease is up in 2040. If you plan on selling it in 2020, that leaves only 20 years until the lease expires. That being the case some lenders will only give a 20 year mortgage making the payments higher and therefore harder to qualify. The closer you get to the expiry the harder it can be for the buyer to qualify and there’s also more uncertainty for them since we don’t know this far in advance what the city will do. Shares in Cooperative The third type of condo we come across is a shares in cooperative. In the above two types you own the specific unit you’re in whether it’s directly or thru the lease with the city. A shares in cooperative is quite different because you own a share of a company that owns real estate in this case being a complex. For example, let’s say there are 10 units you own 10% of the place as a whole.You don’t have title to the land; you have shares like you would in a company. You obtain your rights to your suite via a rental agreement. Since you don’t own real estate you can’t get a regular mortgage. What you get from the bank is a loan to purchase shares in a company which ends up looking a lot like a mortgage. The big difference here is that the bank will want a minimum of 35% down. Important Factor to Keep in Mind Regarding Shares in Cooperative: A shares in coop can take different structures and sometimes it can limit how much you can sell your share for down the road. The reasoning behind this is that if you sell your unit for a high amount it affects the value of the whole coop which could affect the interest rate the coop is getting. The limit can also be in place to keep the housing more affordable. What are the Benefits to a Shares in Cooperative Complex? Since you’re a shareholder in a company you have all the same benefits including tax write offs. For example, any expense you incur running your home including the interest you pay on your loan is tax deductible.
Summary Freehold Strata
Leasehold Strata
Shares in Cooperative
Most freedom to buy or sell.
Good location at a more affordable price.
More affordable than leasehold and freehold stratas.
More expensive than other forms.
Some uncertainty with outcome After lease expiry.
Hardest to sell and least amount of control.

our realtor®
Pedram Naimi obtaining his BBA in Finance from Simon Fraser University Since in 2003, Ped has been self-employed in the areas of real estate marketing and business development, producing marketing materials for Realtors and creating their brand identity.The key to his success was understanding all of the intricate details of market trends, the needs of buyers and sellers, and assisting his clients in accomplishing financial goals. Ped has worked one-on-one with brand new Realtors as well as veteran Realtors looking to rebrand themselves or tap into different segments for their first time. With his finger on the pulse of the ever-prosperous real estate market of Surrey and White Rock, Ped began to understand the unique industry and what makes one agent successful while others don’t make it past their first year as a Realtor®. He realized the importance of knowing specific markets and more importantly understanding a client’s needs. He fell in love with the real estate business. The limitless possibilities and the opportunity to work with different people every day appealed to him very much. It became clear to Ped that his future lay in working as a Realtor®, and he became a licensed Realtor dedicated to serving the White Rock and Surrey. “As a Realtor®, I am fortunate to be there at a very important point in people’s lives as they buy or sell their home. It’s a time that’s filled with excitement as they begin their new journey. The journey of buying or selling becomes an experience and I’m lucky to be directly involved from start to finish. Every time I help someone buy or sell a home, whether the whole experience is one week or three months, you can’t help but get wrapped up in each others’ lives and get to know each other’s families, hobbies, likes and even how they like their coffee. I love telling my sellers that their home is sold and they can continue on to the next step in their life. As a buyer there’s nothing more pleasant than the feeling when all the boxes are unpacked and you sit down to enjoy your first glass of wine in the new house. These are the pictures I have in my mind and the final outcomes I strive to achieve every time I’m with a client.
Without my clients and friends there is no business and they know how much I appreciate them. In my first year as a Realtor, I was fortunate to close 22 deals through my contacts and successful marketing. I’ve focused my business on White Rock and Surrey because I’ve lived here for almost 20 years and know and love the area. I’ve seen tremendous growth here and I’m excited about what is yet to come. If you see me at the local golf courses or Steve Nash, feel free to say hi.” Pedram Naimi Realtor®

APRIL BLOG So the trees are calling about their levees and it's that time when wants are preparing for needs.
REALTY CHECK
Given all the turbulence in the current global geopolitical climate with no clarity in sight, one must keep calm and acquire as much real estate as possible. The current market, all be it tepid, is showing activity within the $400K to $750K range, with the lowest inventory levels in years. This can be attributed to a well timed sentiment shift, with the Bank of Canada stating that current low rates have reached their bottom and will only hedge upwards as the year closes off. First time buyers re-entering the market, and investor class clients looking to park some currency in the Bank of Real Estate Gains! These facts reinforce what we know inherently as the basis of all wealth, generational security, and the final return to the sum of all your parts.
VINCE NAZARI 778.999.7999 Now I'm no world economist, or a fortune teller, but I am good at trusting my gut and providing options that will help achieve results. I look forward to meeting and sharing in the most valuable life currency, experience, and building further wealth with our networks through the art of good business. Truly, Arash Vince Nazari
BCREA 2012 FOURTH QUARTER HOUSING FORECAST Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) residential sales in British Columbia are forecast to increase 5.6 per cent to 71,450 units in 2013. While a modest increase in unit sales is expected, home sales this year will fall below both the five-year average of 74,600 units and the ten-year average of 86,800 units. After declining nearly 23 per cent in 2012, homes sales in Vancouver are forecast to claw back nearly 10 per cent this year. Improved economic conditions in 2014 are expected to keep housing demand trending higher, with MLS® residential sales forecast to climb a further 6.1 per cent to 75,830 units. Headwinds in the global economy continue to constrain growth in British Columbia. The US has yet to generate enough employment to take a serious bite out of their jobless rate, while early signs of burgeoning domestic demand in China weren’t enough to keep economic growth from slipping to a ten-year low in 2012.
However, with a stronger global economy expected next year, 2013 is shaping up to be a transition year. Indeed, the groundwork has already begun for stronger housing demand as a significant number of part-time jobs in BC were converted into full-time employment last year. Residential values are expected to be on a more solid footing in 2013 as lower prices, both actual and inflation adjusted, have improved affordability. In addition, many potential buyers that stayed on the sidelines in 2012 will likely enter the marketplace over the next year as the relatively strong financial condition of BC households precludes any deflationary spiral.
