About "owner builder 的房" .... source from HPO(
Homeowner
Protection
Office)
Owner-Built Home means:
" An owner builder is a person authorized by the Homeowner Protection Office (HPO) to build a new home for their personal use. An owner builder isn't required to be licensed by the HPO to build the new home or arrange for
third-party home warranty insurance on that home.
"
==>
Individuals wanting to be an owner builder of a new home are required to obtain an Owner Builder Authorization from the HPO and to pay a fee, prior to commencing construction of that new home.
So, ...if 房没有在HPO上申请, 还属于
不可以卖 不合法 ... You better ask the seller about it( the
Owner Builder Authorization &
Owner Builder Disclosure Notice) !!
pls check the following information ....... source from HPO of BC ( Homeowner Protection Office)
>>
Occupancy and Disclosure Requirements for Owner-built Homes
An owner builder must occupy their new home themselves for
at least one year after obtaining an
occupancy permit and are
not permitted to sell or rent the new home
during that one-year period.
>> An owner builder building under an Owner Builder Authorization (after November 19, 2007) is required
to provide an Owner Builder Disclosure Notice,obtained from the Homeowner Protection Office
(HPO), to prospective purchasers within the first 10 years after occupancy.
>> The Disclosure Notice will state that the home was built under an Owner Builder
Authorization, when the 10-year period started, and whether or not there is a voluntary policy of home
warranty insurance in place for the home.
>>
Statutory Protection Requirements for Owner-built Homes
An owner builder who sells their home within the first 10 years after occupancy are obligated to
subsequent purchasers for defects in the new home during that 10-year period. The Homeowner
Protection Act (Act) and regulations clarifies that an owner builder’s obligations under the statutory
protection are similar to the obligations of a Licensed Residential Builder under a policy of home
warranty insurance. That is, two years for labour and materials, five years for defects in the building
envelope and 10 years for structural defects. The statutory protection enables subsequent
purchasers to take legal action against the owner builder to correct defects as set out in the
provisions. There are some reasonable exceptions to the statutory protection (for example, defects
caused by someone other than the builder or natural disasters) and these are set out in detail
in the Homeowner Protection Act and regulations.
