The second largest country in the world, Canada offers the sort of diversity and standard of living not found in many other places. Assetz Canada is able to offer choices of investment apartments, houses and villas in fantastic city centre locations and world class ski resorts.

A land of hundreds of cultures, the aboriginal peoples of Canada lived and continue to live in harmony with the rich landscape. They have taught the settlers much and in many parts of Canada, you will experience these fascinating cultures first hand.

The Atlantic provinces (Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick) offer varied landscape, rugged outdoors, pink sandy beaches and Celtic culture. It is still possible to hear Scots Gaelic spoken in the villages of Cape Breton, where you are greeted with the words "Ciad Mile Failte" (a thousand welcomes)! Musical tradition is strong in this region and any Scottish person will feel right at home with the Highland games in Dartmouth, and a true-to-life Ceilidh in Ingonish. One must not forget the Irish descendants who figure prominently in Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island’s festivals and art.

The provinces known as Upper and Lower Canada, Ontario and Quebec, are equally as diverse. A French-speaking province, Quebec is welcoming and offers a fascinating blend of European and new world cultures. Mont Tremblant, 90 minutes out of Montreal, has been voted time and time again as the top ski resort on the eastern seaboard in North America. The exciting cities of Toronto and Montreal are here, offering a cosmopolitan lifestyle with world class restaurants, nightlife and some of the best universities in the world.

The Prairie provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta) constitute Canada’s "Wild West". An ancient land with some of the most beautiful lakes in the world, you will find some of the highest capital growth in the world. Alberta has experienced over 500% growth in the past decade due to the flourishing oil industry. At the foot of the Rockies, Alberta is where you will be if you want to enjoy skiing at Banff or Jasper national parks.

British Columbia, the westernmost province, is mainly mountainous and enjoys thousands of islands in the Pacific Ocean. With skiing that rivals the best the Alps can offer, this province is home to one of the most striking cities in the world - Vancouver, with its beaches and mountains rising dramatically behind the city centre skyline.

Investment in Canada

The advantage to buying property in Canada is in the outstanding capital growth experienced across the country, which has averaged 9.4% across the nation according to the most recent figures.

The Canadian property market is in exceptional shape. If you opt for a buy-to-let style investment, we will only sell you something in an area that is showing excellent return. If you opt for a lifestyle property you can enter into a rental scheme whereby you will benefit from very flexible usage options.

Jurisdiction of property law is provincial. This means that property law emanates from the province, in the same way England and Scotland share separate laws pertaining to property. Because of this, it is difficult to generalise about Canadian property law. You will work with a solicitor in the province in which you purchase, as well as with our first-class after-sales team, so there is no need to worry about the intricacies of this. We employ bilingual, Canadian staff to add to our existing expertise and to assist in answering any query you may have.

Generally speaking, a real estate transaction in any province is relatively straight forward and free of the red tape encountered in many other countries. This is especially true when dealing with off-plan (newly built) properties because the developer must, by law, supply a contract of purchase and sale that adheres to strict guidelines. You cannot be sold a property without being supplied with a statement of disclosure, so you know exactly what you are purchasing.

Canada is a country that has been voted "best place to live" many years running by the United Nations. This is due to the very high standard of living, excellent education and health care and low crime rate. Add to that value for money, a place where properties are much larger and easily accessible from most UK airports, and you have discovered a country in which to purchase the ideal investment home.
