LEGAL SECOND SUITES HAMILTON

Secondary suites, also known as legal suites, are becoming an increasingly popular option for the real estate and housing market in southern Ontario. As many individuals are choosing to rent instead of buy, basement apartments or secondary suites have been a way to create more housing options for people. 

Secondary, or basement suites are well-made small apartments in a single-family home. A legal suite must meet the building code for your individual city in order for it to be considered “legal”. Homeowners and investors often buy real estate intending to be able to create at least one secondary suite.

Now Is The Time To Build a Legal Suite

While 2020 definitely wasn’t the best year for creating second suites, it showed us just how necessary and awesome an income-making unit can be. Creating legal second suites is as important as finding the right tenant. From the measurements, design, utilities, and overall handling, a legal suite involves a lot of careful planning and work. 

When working with a contractor, you want to ensure you setup expectations so that the job is done right and with the correct building permit. A basement suite on your property can be an opportune way to get into the rental market and allow others to live on-site.

WHAT IS A LEGAL SUITE HAMILTON

You need to know what you want to gain from a legal suite. Is it a rental unit or a place for the in-laws? A lot of new information has come out regarding having a legal suite. 

These units are great for the aging demographic in Ontario and it allows an investor to make money back depending on the size of the secondary units. It also allows construction companies to service and assist in planning design aspects of your units. 

This helps municipalities thrive in terms of affordable housing and may create a more diverse community.
