Frequently Asked Questions
Can I privately purchase a Lot / Estate Lot or do I need to purchase through a builder?
All estate lots by TCG Developments are open to the public, which means you can purchase them directly from us and then bring in the builder of your choice to complete your home. Once you have finalized your contract to build through them, they will purchase the lot on your behalf.
Can I challenge a Lot that is already on hold?
If the lot I want is owned by a builder, can I purchase it from them?
We do not allow 3rd party sales from our builders in TCG Developments, so you are unable to purchase a lot currently owned by a builder unless they are also building your home for you.
Do I have a time limit in which I must finish building?
The purchase agreements specifies that building must commence one year from the purchase. If a purchaser continues to maintain their lot from weeds, garbage, and other dumping, we are fine extending that timeframe until the purchaser is ready to build. However, we intentionally keep that clause in our purchase agreement as a means to take legal action if someone is not building on their lot and also not maintaining it. In a situation such as that, we will use the proceeds of your deposit to clean up your lot for you, and then proceed with further legal action once those funds are “used up”.
What restrictions are there on building a house?
When purchasing a lot, it is important to first recognize the approved zoning of that lot, and then read the corresponding requirements in Cold LakeLand Use Bylaw. In addition to those requirements, our subdivisions have architectural controls that outline the requirements for house size, exterior treatments, choices available for private fencing, and allowable front/side landscaping.
