There are numerous Salt Spring condos, Salt Spring townhouses or Stratas available to buy. 

First what is a condo. A condominium is a Strata in British Columbia. Strata, Condo, Condominium are all the same. Do not get this confused with a Co-op which is totally different. Co-ops are governed by the Cooperative Association Act.

All Strata (condos), from a two unit to a 500 unit, are governed in BC by the Strata Property Act. A Strata consist of the strata lot, common property and common assets. 

Stratas are self governed. They all have a strata plan on file. It can be a bare land Strata or a building Strata. The land can be owned by the strata as freehold or it could be a leasehold.

The entity that owns the common property is know as the Strata corporation. It is governed by the owners that make up the Strata council. Some times the council will hire a management company to manage the Strata.

Rules, Rules and Rules; Stratas are democracy in action. If you want to be an expert on the rules you should buy at from my book store THE Condominium Manual a Comprehensive Guid...

It is my job to help you sort through the minutes and the contingency Reserve Fund information. Stratas are a great way to go but let me help you do all the due diligence before you buy your new Salt Spring Condo.
