I am hoping you might be able to help me or know some way for this story to be heard and a resolve to this problem:I moved to the NWT over a year ago and started to work for a local Survey Company, later on I decided to buy a home as this seemed to be a nice community.
I went to Coldwell Bankers and was able to find a cabin that was on crown land out on what is called the Ingram Trail. (homes are powered by solar, wind and generators)
While nearing the final sale I found out the batteries that hold the charge to run the electrical supply to the house were old and at there end of life.
I brought this to the attention of my lawyer Denroche Law and the sellers Lawyer Wanda Israel, Legal Assistant
Ahlstrom Wright Oliver & Cooper
They never ended up dealing with this issue other than the seller said he would put up $1500 of a cost that was $3500
My question: why is there no help to protect the seller or buyer in the NWT like the disclaimer clause in the real estate documents as in the south Provinces?
To add to this it ended up that the hot water tank, lines were frozen and all broken from the last winter long before I purchased this place. Now it will cost another $650 for this as well.
Sincerely
Gerry
