Real Estate Transactions In Quebec

Completing a real estate transaction in the Province of Québec is generally similar to completing a deal in any other Canadian jurisdiction, except for certain conceptual differences. In practice, this results in the use of some special terminology and a few unique procedures, but mostly the same result is achieved. Québec has responded well to the influence from the rest of North America and its legal system, which is a mix of civil law and common law tradition, can accommodate all the latest structures.

The Civil Code of Québec is the law of general application and governs relations between persons and property. Non-residents are free to purchase real estate in Québec and are subject to the same general restrictions as residents in regard to the purchase of agricultural land and designated cultural properties.
