this is great - thanks so much joe! I didn't know we'd be allowed to go in early - the units aren't locked yet then? Bah! That sucks that you're already dealing with leakage in your unit - I hope they fix it before you move in. Good luck to you and everyone else with the move in!

I'm hoping Liberty wasn't pulling numbers out of their ass when they told me that "...closing costs will be about 2-3% of your purchase price including existing levies..."

Ah - phew... thanks. Got scared from the words "huge deposit" (LOL)

Uhhh... Joe? If you don't mind me asking, can you clarify what you mean by "huge deposit"...? Are you referring to just the hydro? Are we expected to pay a big deposit at the start?

I'll probably be going with the builder provided TD as they gave me a good rate. The lady there told me that it's very likely that both buildings will register around October or November. Two sales staff on separate occasions have also given similar dates, so hopefully this is what the final...

Thanks so much for the quick response. My movers (AKA unpaid friends and family :P) were putting up a stink when I said I wanted to buy the ikea stuff and move it up without getting the delivery through ikea. I didn't think using their delivery was an option due to them not delivering at a...

I wanted to confirm something and I hope people who've moved in or are in the process of moving in can help: I plan on buying quite a lot of furniture from Ikea - problem is, they don't deliver for a specific time frame (just a general 8 hour window or something like that) so the chance of them...

Booked my PDI for August 19th... was hoping I could have it on the 20th so I could take Friday off... darn... Moving in on the 24th... less than a month away! Finally!!

Since you have to book a specific time for the elevators, and you aren't told for sure what time you receive your keys, they will most likely tell you to book your elevator for the day after you get your keys/move in date. If you're very lucky, you could get your keys early in the morning on...

Some more listings... thought you guys might be interested just for the interior images: http://www.homefinder.ca/listing/details/W1922021/55-de-boers-dr-toronto-ontario http://www.homefinder.ca/listing/details/C1916271/toronto-ontario

That's good news - I thought it was put on hold because the government backed out on it's promise to fund a certain amount and was only commiting to a fraction of what was originally planned. I just remember hearing those "save transit city" announcements on the TTC. Good to know!

Congrats on the purchase and welcome :) I kind of understand how you feel - especially if your location of employment has changed, I can see how you might feel it's not the best location for you anymore. But I still have hope that there will be lots of new developments in the future - I...

Weird that you'd need to give them the De Boers address even though you're in M2 - hope the technicians don't get confused... Glad the problem with M2/Rogers is solved now though - Free Cable/Internet for all! That's correct - your mortgage doesn't kick in until the unit actually becomes...

Actually I wondered the same thing too as I won't be moving in until the end of August, but when I called the rep said that they can do all the set up on their end first and then you just tell them when they can have their technicians come into set everything up after you've gotten your keys...

I think it was 1st floor, 3rd floor, 11th floor and the two penthouse levels that have 9ft.... for M1 (and something similar for M2). Flaco7, did you get the 48" uppers?

M1. I spoke to Dalia - but since I was actually transferred to her, I'm assuming each rep is assigned to a specific building and/or level. I recall you mentioning that your move in date is earlier than mine since you're on a lower level of M2... but I seem to be getting a lot of notices even...

Thanks for all the info GPalltheway. Wow - that's disappointing to hear that they changed so much of your plans... I know it's expected... but losing kitchen counter space in a condo is "ouch" :( I hope all else works out for the better for you. Your pictures look great though! I just called...

Bad cellphone reception? Crap... that sucks... I was hoping to use my cell as my main phone... I hope they can fix that once the buildings are completed... Flaco7 if you don't mind another question - for the 3 months free promo, is it a no-contract promo? At the end of the 3 months, we're...

I've not moved in yet myself either, but everyone has helped each other on this forum with ideas of costs etc; so here is just a rough list: (1) I'm told about $250 annually (2) The builders have told us to roughly put aside about 3% of your purchase price (therefore $5K might not be...

Re: Insurance I was just chatting with a couple of friends who've purchased before and they mentioned that some Insurance companies will say that 'content' and 'liability' insurance are the same thing or all in one - but the details of the coverage should clearly show how much is covered for...
