Questions and Answers / Re: Execution Searches - someone with a similar name

« on: April 10, 2017, 11:56:42 PM »

Thanks Mountainman and all.
I've since learned that government agencies, CMHC, FRO, etc. will run a search on the delinquent person and if two of the three names match, the lien is stuck on every poor soul who happens to have 2 of the 3 names. My lawyer said it is fairly easy to remove *if the lien is applied to the name*. Luckily he was giving me advice for free because the sale was cancelled. Well, I learn something new with each property of interest. Now, I just need to find an inexpensive way to do title and lien searches. I know other people have commented that the expenses can add up.
cheers and thanks, Pat.

Questions and Answers / Execution Searches - someone with a similar name

« on: April 04, 2017, 12:41:06 AM »

I could use a bit of help here on what it means when someone with a similar name owes CMHC some cash? This is under Executions that will affect the property after the tax sale: "The writ is in favour of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp for the sum of $221K...You may require a lawyer to have this removed from title." I appreciated that one of you posted to stay away from writs in favour of the government but the owner's first name is different than the person who owes CMHC, both have the same middle name and a common surname.  The sale is for vacant land.
It's making me nervous.
cheers and thanks, Pat.

Property Information / Seguin Township Subdivision - Everybody Knows...

« on: February 10, 2017, 06:58:47 PM »

Hi all,
I'm a newbie in the forums. I've been a voyeur for about a year but thought I'd take a serious look at Seguin Township's two lots. I have family nearby and I'm originally from the 705. So, Mrs. Foot managed to sub-divide and sell off her Seguin property as a proposed new sub-division. Unfortunately, she passed away, and the sub-division agreement was never completed. The 20+land owners or a developer would need to enter into a subdivision agreement which basically means paying for the road and infrastructure (how much does a road cost? $150K/100m?) Part of the road is on a flood plain so extra planning is needed. There is no municipal septic, hydro and water - so you'd be on your own for that. I asked about camping out on the property, maybe build a small shed for a canoe. This would change the usage to recreational so not permitted. Building a small shed under the building permit size also changes the current usage.
So, as the great Leonard Cohen told ya, in Seguin everybody knows about the ghost 'subdivision'. Everybody knows, that's how it goes...
