Are you purchasing a house, a condo or any other property? Here are a few useful resources.

To get more information on the steps involved in purchasing a house, you can consult the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation Web site. The Régie du bâtiment du Québec also provides a few tips regarding the purchase of a new property. 

If you wish to do business with a real estate broker or agent, consult the Web site of the Organisme d’autoréglementation du courtage immobilier du Québec. There, you can find information on topics including the validity of a broker’s certificate, brokerage contracts and offers to purchase.

You can also consult a notary to get advice regarding real estate law. The Chambre des notaires (in French only) provides a variety of information on its Web site. In particular, you will find the number for a free legal advice hotline (in French only).

You can get information regarding property evaluations from the l’Ordre des évaluateurs agréés du Québec (in French only).

Articles about housing and purchasing a property are also available in the Acheter une maison ou un condo section of the Protégez-Vous Web site (in French only).

Finally, for any questions regarding the Guarantee Plan for New Residential Buildings, the organization SOS Plan de garantie résidentielle offers its services free of charge.
