The City of Saskatoon's permit record is the deciding document. A basement suite that cleared inspection for a separate entrance and proper egress is worth substantially more to a buyer's lender than one that was finished informally over a weekend, and the difference does not show up in listing photos.
Erindale's established character, mature landscaping and curved crescents draw family buyers as well as investors, so the marketing has to speak to both audiences, and pricing has to hold up whichever one makes the offer. If the second unit is tenanted, the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 sets the rules for notice and lease transfer.
