Paradise Developments - New Kleinburg Welcome Booklet

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PURCHASE OF YOUR NEW HOME FROM PARADISE DEVELOPMENTS!

Dear Paradise Developments Homeowner

Welcome to the Family!

Purchasing a new home is an exciting time, whether it is your first home or not. Thank you for trusting us as your New Home Builder. We are committed to making this a rewarding and enjoyable purchase experience. In order to process the sale, and to prepare for the construction of your home, Paradise Developments would ask that you please review the following:

DEPOSIT CHEQUES

-

DESIGN SELECTIONS

-

If you have not already done so, please ensure that you drop off all of your deposit cheques to our Sales Centre as soon as possible. Please remember that your bank will require at least 1 weeks’ notice if you need to transfer funds to cover any of your deposit cheques. Should a cheque be returned to us when presented to the bank, a fee of $500 (+HST) will be charged on closing for any returned cheques.

As construction in the subdivision commences, you will be contacted (roughly) 12–14 months before your scheduled closing date, by a representative from our Design Studio, to book an appointment to complete your Design Selections. An online catalogue can be accessed once your appointment is scheduled. For more information, please call our Design Studio at 416.756.1972 x425.

LAWYER INFORMATION

-

FINANCING/ MORTGAGE APPROVAL

-

If you have not already retained a lawyer, we urge you to do so as soon as possible, as the lawyer should review your Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Please provide the Paradise Developments Sales Centre with your lawyer’s name, address and phone number. This information is imperative in order to close the sale and take possession of your home on the date of closing. Please refer to our Suggested Lawyers list if you require assistance.

We strongly urge you to speak to a mortgage specialist when planning to purchase a home, and not waiting until closing to confirm your qualifications. Once you have your pre-approval for your mortgage by your financial institution, please provide a copy of your approval notice to our Sales Centre.

YOUR MORTGAGE APPROVAL MUST CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING:

Mortgage Commitment Expiry must be 3 months past closing date.

Maximum Purchase Price must be equal to or greater than the Purchase Price on your Agreement.

The Mortgage approval must be from a Financial Institution. If using a Mortgage Broker, please attach commitment from financial institution.

If it is a cash sale, we require a letter confirming sales amount in confirmation of ability to pay all cash in writing from a financial institution, lawyer or accountant.

What’s Next?

Now that you purchased your new home, the most important detail to check is that your mortgage financing is in place and guaranteed up to your closing date. Since this is a key milestone in your new home journey, we are reaching out to ensure you have all the information you will need.

If you have not yet completed this, we invite you to reach out to our trusted partners at RBC Royal Bank to learn more about exclusive offers. RBC will provide you with a firm mortgage approval* which will be guaranteed until your closing date. Mortgage rates can be capped until your closing date to a maximum of 36 months. This will give you invaluable peace of mind knowing that any future government borrowing policy and mortgage rate changes will not impact your borrowing capability as you’ve secured your mortgage approval today.

It is also essential to protect your investment as your mortgage is one of the biggest financial investments you will make. RBC Home Protector® Insurance is designed to complement any plans you may already have in place to help protect your new home.

For more information, please contact our New Kleinburg RBC Mortgage Specialist

Thank you again for choosing Paradise Developments as your trusted new home builder.

It is important to recognize how to prepare your home for changing weather conditions and to perform the appropriate maintenance within your home. Paradise Developments has prepared this helpful ‘New Home Guide’ to ensure the suggested steps are taken to maintain your home over the years.

Your Warranties

Paradise Developments® builds every new home to meet or exceed the structural requirements and health and safety standards of the Ontario Building Code. Like every new home in Ontario, it is protected by the builder’s warranty, and backed by the Tarion Warranty Corporation.

Homes are covered by the builder and manufacturer’s warranty for material and work defects for up to One Year, and for Two Years for delivery and distribution systems in the home, and water penetration of the building exterior walls and foundation.

At the time you select your colour at the Paradise Developments® Design Studio, you will receive a link to the Tarion website. This link will provide all of the warranty information you will require with respect to your rights and responsibilities under the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act.

NOTE: It is important that each homeowner is aware of and understands their rights and responsibilities under the Warranty Act.

The objective at Paradise Developments® is to “Building it Right the First Time®”. However from time to time, minor items will arise that require adjustments, which our Customer Care staff will address for you.

Pre-Delivery Orientation

Approximately one week to 10 days prior to the date of possession, a representative of Paradise Developments® will guide you through our orientation of your new home. At this time they will review all of the operating systems in the home (heat, electrical, plumbing and ventilation) so you are familiar with them. Feel free to ask questions so you are comfortable with the operation of all systems in the house. Any minor items that are found during this visit will be recorded on the pre-delivery inspection form to document the conditions that existed prior to moving into the home.
