The Appeal of a 1985 Strata Community
Buildings from the mid-1980s often attract buyers for a few practical reasons. Units tend to offer more generous floor plans than newer construction, and prices typically reflect the age of the building, creating opportunities for value-focused buyers.
That said, older buildings call for careful due diligence. If you're considering a purchase at Lincoln Hill, be sure to:
- Review the strata documents: Look closely at the depreciation report, recent minutes, and the contingency reserve fund balance.
- Ask about major repairs: Confirm the status of items like roofing, windows, siding, plumbing, and any past or planned special levies.
- Check strata fees: Understand what the monthly fee covers and how it compares to similar complexes.
- Confirm rental and pet bylaws: These matter whether you plan to live in the unit or hold it as an investment.
