Burke Mountain townhomes
Burke Mountain townhomes: presale, new or resale
Burke Mountain is one of the main places in Coquitlam to buy a townhome, and many of the ones for sale are new or still being built. The figures below show how many give a build year of this year or later.
That leaves you choosing between three kinds of purchase: a presale you buy before it is built, a new home ready to move into, and a resale home someone already lives in. They follow different rules for cancelling, tax, warranty and deposits, and those rules decide more of your cost than the finishes do.
- Cancel a presale
- 7 days, in writing, under section 21 of the Real Estate Development Marketing Act
- Cancel a resale
- 3 business days after acceptance, with a fee of 0.25% of the price
- First-time buyers
- Federal GST rebate of up to $50,000 on an eligible new home from a builder
- Renting it out
- Strata rental bans cannot be enforced in BC since November 24, 2022
Presale, new or resale: what changes
The three ways to buy a Burke Mountain townhome, side by side. The rules come from BC and federal law; your contract adds its own terms.
| Presale | New, ready to move in | Resale | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your right to cancel | 7 days after the later of signing and receiving the disclosure statement, in writing | Depends on how the developer sells it. Ask your lawyer which right applies | 3 business days after the seller accepts, paying the seller 0.25% of the price |
| GST | Yes, 5% | Yes, 5% | Generally no |
| First-time buyer GST rebate | Can apply if you qualify | Can apply if you qualify | Does not apply |
| Warranty | New 2, 5 and 10 year warranty | New 2, 5 and 10 year warranty | Whatever is left of the original warranty |
| Strata history you can read | None yet. You rely on the disclosure statement and the proposed budget | Little or none | Minutes, budgets and usually a depreciation report |
| Deposit | Often paid in stages, held in trust as the Act requires | Set by the contract | Usually one deposit, held in trust |
General information, checked September 18, 2026. Have a real estate lawyer read the contract before you sign it.

Buying a Burke Mountain presale, step by step
- 1
Get the disclosure statement and every amendment to it. The developer has to give it to you, and give you a reasonable chance to read it, before you sign (section 15 of the Real Estate Development Marketing Act).
- 2
Read the deposit schedule. Find out how much is due and when, and who holds the money in trust.
- 3
Sign when you are ready to use the next 7 days. You can cancel by written notice within 7 days of the later of signing and acknowledging the disclosure statement.
- 4
Check whether you qualify for the first-time home buyers' GST rebate. The Canada Revenue Agency lets the builder credit it to you on completion.
- 5
Look up the builder in BC Housing's New Homes Registry and note who provides the warranty.
- 6
Before completion, walk through the finished home and list every defect in writing, with photos.
Reading the strata papers of a new complex
A new complex has little history. That makes each document you do get more important.
- The budget and the strata fee
- The first budget in a new building is an estimate. Compare the fee with similar complexes nearby, and ask what it pays for: insurance, landscaping, the contingency reserve fund (the complex's savings for big repairs) and any shared amenity.
- Renting it out
- Since November 24, 2022, a strata in BC cannot enforce a bylaw that bans or limits long-term rentals. Other bylaws still apply to you and your tenant.
- Pets
- Pet bylaws can still be enforced. Read the pet bylaw before you sign if you have an animal or plan to get one.
- Parking
- Coquitlam's zoning bylaw requires two parking spaces per townhouse, with no more than a third of them in tandem (one car behind another), and 0.20 visitor spaces per unit. Check that the garage fits your car with the door shut.
