If you’re buying a condo in Langley, there are a few things you won’t see during a showing that can make or break your entire experience. In this video, I’m breaking down the 5 hidden risk factors that most buyers completely overlook — things like micro-area crime pockets, weak strata financials, poor soundproofing, restrictive bylaws, and buildings surrounded by future development that could block your light, hurt your privacy, or crush your resale value.
This isn’t about scaring you away from condos. Langley has some of the best buildings and some of the strongest long-term neighbourhoods in the Fraser Valley. The goal is simple: help you avoid the surprises, avoid the levies, avoid the lifestyle headaches, and buy with confidence instead of guessing.
