Purchasing a Home within 100km of a Wildfire?
Our managing partner, Lisa Niro recently wrote an article that was published on British Columbia Real Estate Association’s website that discusses some of the ways a wildfire within 100km of a property could prevent a purchaser from being able to complete its purchase of that property, even if the property and surrounding community was not significantly affected by the wildfire.
Her article discusses potential ways to plan around those circumstances in order to prevent the purchaser from being in breach of contract, losing their deposit, and facing a potential lawsuit from the vendor.
