Who Benchview Place Is For
Buyers 55 and over who want a small, quiet building
With only nine units, Benchview Place is a small strata. Listings describe a well-maintained building with a strong sense of community, and homes with lake and mountain views, including a top-floor unit.
It is a 1994 building, so ask what has been replaced and what is coming. Roofs, windows, plumbing and electrical can be near replacement age, and in a nine-unit strata a single large repair is shared among few owners. The depreciation report and reserve fund show how that is planned for.
A buyer under 55 can own in a 55+ strata but may not live there unless an exemption applies. Read the bylaw before you decide.

📄 New BC Depreciation Report Rule
As of 2024, deferring a depreciation report by vote is no longer allowed — South Okanagan strata corporations have until July 1, 2027 to be compliant if there is no report or the latest predates December 31, 2020. See the full guide →
🏠 A 1994 Building
Ask what has been replaced, when, and what is planned: roof, windows, siding, plumbing, electrical and the exterior stairs and balconies. Pat's construction background helps here.
💰 A Nine-Unit Strata
With few owners, one large repair is split few ways, and a single special levy can be significant. Ask for the reserve fund balance and the last three years of minutes.
🐾 Pets & Rentals
Listings say long-term rentals are allowed, but their pet wording differs. Get the current bylaws for pets and for rentals, which can change.
