West Vancouver council approves sale of public beach access to private buyer

Council in West Vancouver, B.C., voted Monday to move ahead with the sale of a beachfront property that includes a century-old public path leading to a popular beach.

The path to Altamont Beach at the bottom of 30th Street, adjacent to a property at 3000 Park Lane, is now set to become private property after the district voted to package it with a municipally owned lot in order to incentivize its sale for over $6.5 million.

A report to council notes that the concerns voiced by many residents over the loss of the path influenced the buyer's decision which was supported by the Realtor, West Vancouver Mayor Mark Sager and a majority of council.

Realtor Holly Calderwood said the Buyer's, myself and corporate discussed this at great length. The council originally wanted and we agreed upon and negotiated a 3 ft Right of Way on the east side that was suppose to be for Utility access. After much public feedback and pushback we thought this was the best and only way to make this work to put the pathway on the East Side ROW and thought this was a win win to help please the community and council and a way to give back to the community.

But as part of an amended motion that was passed on Monday, the buyer of the property says it will work with the district to add a new path to the east of the current one, and will allow the public to use the current trail until construction on a house is completed. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE

Canada’s most-expensive home for sale is in West Vancouver

For $58.8 million, you can own this massive waterfront property designed by Russell Hollingsworth. The most expensive home for sale in Canada is sitting on the West Vancouver waterfront.

For $58.8 million, you can buy the property at 3330 Radcliffe Ave., located in the West Bay neighbourhood. At nearly 10,000 square feet, the five-bedroom, six-bathroom structure was custom designed by reputed architect Russell Hollingsworth, son of West Coast Modern legend Fred Hollingsworth. 

Evocative of that style, the home is perched on a rock face with more than 200 feet of shoreline. Banks of floor-to-ceiling windows offer continuous views to the roiling ocean, backdropped by Stanley Park and Point Grey.

The gated property features an oceanside swimming pool, outdoor spa, covered dining terrace and parking garage for four vehicles. click here to buy

HOW THE MORTGAGE RULES COULD CHANGE THE MATH FOR HOMEBUYERS

While the changes will make it easier for first-time buyers to purchase a home, they could wind up paying tens of thousands of dollars more in interest.

New federal rules would help homebuyers access lower mortgage rates for pricier properties and pay smaller instalments over a longer time period, but the changes would also allow borrowers to take on more debt and pay more interest on it.

Under the coming regime, set to take effect Dec. 15, buyers will be able to get a mortgage with default insurance – which is mandatory for those with less than 80 per cent of equity in their home – for properties worth as much as $1.5-million, up from a cap of $1-million.

The federal government, which announced the new rules Monday, will also allow first-time homebuyers to take a maximum of 30 years to repay an insured mortgage on any type of home. And all buyers, including investors, will have access to 30-year mortgages if they are buying a newly built home. Until recently, buyers with less than 20-per-cent down could take a maximum of 25 years to repay their debt. click here to read more

Is Your Condo Neighbour Bothering You About Noise? Know your rights.

Upstairs, downstairs: condo owner sues both neighbours over noise

After losing four small claims court cases Linda Woo was ordered to pay $50 to neighbour she accused

A year after unsuccessfully suing her downstairs neighbour for making too much noise, a B.C. woman has also failed in a bid to sue her upstairs neighbour for being too loud.

A small claims court rejected Linda Woo's claim against upstairs neighbour Lorenzo Bruno last week — instead ordering the Burnaby woman to pay Bruno $50 recompense for "unreasonable ceiling-tapping and cupboard-slamming" she made in response to his alleged noise making.

The B.C. Civil Resolution Tribunal decision is the latest chapter in a strata saga that spans years, involving multiple complaints to both the strata council and police, who described Bruno's noises at one point as him just "going about his life."
