Land titles
Property in the Northwest Territories is registered with the Land Titles Office of the territorial Department of Justice, which charges registration fees.
Leased or titled land
Some lots are leased from the territory or the community rather than held under title. Ask how a lot is held before you make an offer.
A lawyer handles the closing
In the Northwest Territories, a real estate lawyer handles the closing: reviewing the documents, moving the funds and registering the new title.
Water, sewer and heat
In some communities, water and sewer are trucked rather than piped. Ask how a home gets water and sewer service and what fuel heats it.
Getting there
Yellowknife is reached by highway from Alberta and by scheduled flights.
Down payment and mortgage insurance
Federal rules set the minimum down payment, and a smaller down payment means the mortgage needs default insurance. CMHC explains the current rules.
