It was a nightmare story from start to finish. I bought a condo from Claridge Homes that I was supposed to take possession after 3 years. Well, it took more than 4 years to finish. The pre-inspection was a waste of time, because they will only fix a very small portion of the items that you highlight as issues. Their customer service is horrific to say the least. The finishes were very disappointing. They make you believe that you're paying for a luxurious condo building! But, once it's built, it anything but luxurious. Then, during interim occupancy, they collect monthly property taxes from you, but do not return that money back to you which you owe to the City of Ottawa when the condo is finally registered under your name.
So, best piece of advice, stay away from this builder....
