Bank-owned and related court-sale properties in Canada
Compare properties advertised as bank-owned, lender-owned, foreclosure, power of sale, judicial sale, receivership or court-ordered sale. These descriptions are not interchangeable: a court sale does not necessarily mean a bank owns the property. Read the original sale wording and confirm the seller and sale process with the listing contact.
Compare the actual offer
Listings can include homes, apartments, land and commercial properties. Check whether the asking price covers the whole property, a partial ownership interest or a package of parcels. Different units or neighbouring lots may be separate offers even when they share a development or must be purchased together.
Review condition and terms
There is no guaranteed discount or standard condition for these properties. Review the photographs, original description, occupancy and included assets. Before making an offer, ask your real estate professional and lawyer to review the applicable documents, deadlines, conditions and any court-approval requirements. Sale procedures vary by property and jurisdiction.
