What about selling my Vacation Home or Fractional ownership share?

Buying a fraction at Sunrise Ridge Resort is just like buying conventional real estate. You are registered as either a sole owner or owning a shared interest in a specific strata lot at Land Titles.  You have the option to sell it at any time without consulting or notifying the other owners or the resort.  Re-sales are performed through a Real Estate office of your choice and listed at fair market value.

Who does the cleaning in my Sunrise Ridge Vacation Home?

The management company cleans all Vacation Homes, making sure that the property is up to standard for every guest. Everyone who stays at Sunrise Ridge Resort is required to use this service. Owners are only charged for cleaning when they or their guests use their ownership.  Cleaning for rented time is included in the rent charged.

Who takes care of collecting and paying for the expenses?

Sunrise Ridge Resort accounting department takes care of invoicing and collecting payment for the maintenance fees for our Fractional Owners.  If you own outright, then you are responsible for your own expenses.

What about monthly expenses?

Whole Owners are responsible for their monthly expenses and are billed directly.  For Fractional Owners, all costs are split equally by the owners of each unit, with monthly costs varying by the size of the residence. The following are part of the monthly payments: snow removal, gas, water, electric, sewer, cable, property tax, phone, common area maintenance, insurance (content & liability), etc. The expenses are all controlled and monitored by the owner’s association.

What about damages?

The owner is responsible for all damages beyond normal wear and tear. There is an ownership agreement that will outline the policies and guidelines for replacing/fixing damages.  Management will collect and replace damages incured from a rental guest.

This rating provides you with great trading power to exchange to over 2700 resorts around the world with high standards of quality.  Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort is affiliated with Interval International through their Club Interval Gold Points Program.  A CIG membership is included for new purchases from the Developer.

Is Fractional Ownership popular?

Yes. Fractional Ownership has become increasingly popular in the last 10 years. By locking in the purchase price of accommodations, vacation ownership helps to guarantee future vacations at today’s prices in luxurious resorts with amenities, exceptional service, hassle free maintenance, and ambiance that rival any of the world’s top rated vacation destinations. Unlike a hotel room or rental cottage, which require payment for each use with rates that continuously escalate, fractional ownership at Sunrise Ridge Resort enables vacationers to enjoy a resort, year after year, for the lifetime of their ownership with only a one¬time purchase price and payment of yearly maintenance fees.

How does Sunrise Ridge Resort differ from a Timeshare?

Sunrise Ridge Resort sells Fractional Real Estate ownership options with deeded title and full rights of property ownership. You are buying real estate rather than leasing vacation time.  This means there is the real potential for appreciation as Parksville is one of Canada’s most popular vacation and retirement destinations.

Differences between fractional and timeshare projects: Owners of fractional real estate are registered on title of a specific strata lot number at land titles and Timeshare is leased time at a resort for a specific number of years. Over time, real estate tends to increase in re-sale value and timeshare typically decreases. Fractional projects have a larger focus on the quality put into the construction because of the high expectations of potential buyers. Timeshare projects tend to focus less on quality, incorporating more sales and marketing costs into the price.

Do I have any warranty?

Yes, the Vacation Homes are covered under the New Home Warranty Program.

What are my options for use?

Vacation in it – enjoy your vacation home with family and friends.
