Larger parcels and shore frontage
Under the Lands Protection Act, buyers who are not Island residents, and corporations, need approval from the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission (IRAC) for larger parcels of land or long stretches of shore frontage.
A lawyer handles the closing
In Prince Edward Island, a real estate lawyer handles the closing: reviewing the documents, moving the funds and registering the new title.
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.
Getting on and off the Island
The Confederation Bridge links the Island to New Brunswick year-round, and a seasonal ferry runs to Nova Scotia.
Coastal weather
Salt air, wind and winter storms are part of coastal life. When you tour a home, ask about the roof, siding, windows, heating and drainage, and for waterfront lots, about storm exposure and erosion.
