Buying new here

A lot of what sells is new or close to it, so think new-build. What is included versus an upgrade, any premium on a nicer lot, what the Manitoba New Home Warranty covers, and GST on a new build. If a home is a townhome or attached, check the condo corporation and its fees. On a resale, ask what has been finished since the build and whether it was permitted.
