QUOTE (DaveRhydderch @ Oct 4 2010, 10:30 AM) Thanks for all the great info here. Ultimately my buyer decided to walk away. Not because of health concerns, but it was so painfull to get a mortgage. I`m sure we could have gotten one, but I for one was worried about resale. The major banks won`t even consider them, and I can see this trend spreading in the future.
In Calgary, we have a website that shows all grow ops (2004 on). So any home will have that stigma and won`t be able to hide from it. Its hard to say what will happen in the future, but I think it will only be harder and harder to finance grow ops. This reduces their market value. I won`t be going near one of these again.
If you have all the document to proof the bank that the house is safe to live, i don`t see why not. eg, remediation report results, re-occupancy permit.
