If you mean will banks look at your application, sure. Provided you have at least 5% down and adequate income from a pension or earnings to afford the home you want, you’ll likely qualify.
Some things to consider:
As always, a positive credit rating and low debt load are reassuring for lenders. After all, it is their money (and yours).
What kind of renovations is the question.
You can certainly upgrade your bathroom faucets, or paint the walls and replace the kitchen cupboards, without a building permit. You can even add a deck, provided it’s less than two feet off the ground and not attached to your home.
Building extra rooms in the basement is another story. That requires a building permit application to the City of Pickering. Building inspectors are particularly out to catch owners who create secondary suites in their basement, or add an exterior entry door that could allow a basement to be lived in. The same applies to adding a second storey that affects your neighbour’s sight lines.
When in doubt, call the city permits office.
Real estate lawyers in Ontario complete the legal documents required to finalize a purchase or sale of a home or land. Concluding a real estate purchase or sale is a legal transaction, separate from the assistance your realtor or MLS listing service gives you. Your home sale or purchase is not valid or legally binding until title to the property is transferred by a lawyer. Your Axess Law real estate lawyer in Pickering will calculate your land transfer taxes, and adjust property taxes and utility costs so you pay only your fair share. Your Pickering real estate lawyer checks for financial claims or construction liens, and discharges mortgages, then hands you the keys.
Let’s put it this way. If your home has any kind of a sleeping area with a cooking space, bathroom, and separate entrance or partition allowing exclusive use by an occupant, it is a two-dwelling unit. The occupant can be a family member, but your home is no longer strictly a single family residence. The unit can be any size or configuration. For example, a carriage house, basement suite, attic room, granny flat, or laneway home.
Adding a cooking area makes registering your unit with the City of Pickering as a legal two-dwelling unit mandatory. That allows the city to inspect it, and makes your unit subject to Ontario Building Code requirements and local zoning bylaws like parking.
Condominium corporations are expected under Ontario’s Human Rights Code to accommodate disabilities, including allowing service dogs. The code also overrules any bylaws corporations create, such as restricting the size or weight of pets.
The Ontario Condominium Act, 1998, doesn’t give condo corporations authority to impose fines for violating bylaws. However, provided a condo corporation introduces bylaws in a legal manner, including ensuring a 2/3rds majority of owners approve, they may be upheld in a conflict over Code rights. Watch that the corporation uniformly and consistently enforces the bylaws. Failing to uphold pet rules over time can result in pet rules bylaws being waived.
That said, owners with a disability have a general responsibility to follow corporation bylaws on pets. Owners who exceed reasonable limits (Halton Standard Condominium Corporation No. 490 v Paikin, 2021 ONCAT 95) may not succeed in a Code challenge. In that case, a condo corporation was allowed to evict a dog that damaged an adjoining unit by urinating and defecating on a balcony, but only if resolution wasn’t possible by better understanding the owner’s mental disability.
