Home Buyer Rescission Period Began Jan 3

Posted by Denise Brown on January 6th, 2023

Home Buyer Rescission Period began January 3, 2023

The new Home Buyer Rescission Period (“HBRP”) is now in force for residential real estate transactions in the province.

Also read the fine print of your mortgage.  It…
