What freehold usually means
With a conventional freehold, the owner typically owns the house and its parcel and is directly responsible for exterior maintenance. Some communities use a parcel-of-tied-land or common-elements structure, so “freehold” should never replace a document review.
What condominium ownership usually means
A condo townhouse includes ownership of a unit plus an interest in common elements. Monthly fees may fund shared landscaping, roads, building components, insurance or amenities. Coverage and rules vary by corporation.
Compare responsibilities, not just fees
A lower monthly fee can mean more direct owner responsibility; a higher fee can cover work you would otherwise arrange yourself. Review the budget, reserve fund, status certificate or disclosure documents and insurance requirements with your lawyer.
Ask how the home will feel day to day
Confirm private entrance, parking access, garbage collection, visitor parking, outdoor-space rules and who handles snow, landscaping and exterior repairs. These details make ownership structure tangible.
Get the exact legal description
Marketing language is only a starting point. Ask for the current disclosure package and agreement for the specific Lambton Mills unit, then obtain independent legal advice before making a decision.
Project pricing, inventory, timing, fees and incentives are confirmed separately for the current unit and may change.
