Seaton

Buying pre-construction at a community like Seaton usually begins with registering for early access, which lets you receive floor plans, pricing, and news of new releases before they open more widely. Getting in early in a release can matter, since popular layouts and pricing can change from one phase to the next.

For freehold homes, purchases are made through an agreement of purchase and sale, with deposits typically staged over time rather than paid all at once. Your exact deposit structure will be set out by the builder, so review it carefully before signing.

Note that the 10-day cooling-off period under Ontario's Condominium Act applies to new condominiums, not freehold homes like these townhomes. Because Seaton is freehold, that specific statutory rescission right does not apply, so it's wise to have a lawyer review your agreement before you commit.
