Not for the faint of heart, and challenging to get right. I look at a lot of projects and 138 Finch tests me. You have three major challenges to solve, and challenges two and three depend on challenge one: the company share title. On a company share title, technically, you are not allowed to do anything to anything inside or outside without approval from the directors. I say technically, because in reality it is usually much easier to manage than it seems on paper. Challenge two is the layout, and it is somewhat of a non-challenge because you would almost certainly want to leave it as is. Challenge three is keeping Wattletree Road out of your living room. All doable. All potentially worth it, especially if you don't have mid to high $1s and want to be in the area. Just be sure of the scope of work required.



You're on the corner of Finch and Wattletree. Not perfect, but then again, we're looking at a three bedroom place for around a million dollars that oozes with upside potential.

This is where it gets tricky: there is no land. The unit is one of three in the block, has its own street frontage and nice aspects into common land greenery. The tricky part is that right now it is a company share title, which brings challenges and upside, and the upside could be huge if the challenges are considered and tackled. Convincing two other owners to increase their property value by 10 to 20% for relatively little investment doesn't sound undoable to me.

Nothing to see here. You need the lot, and you need to start with the windows and efficient heating. See how it feels in summer and whether you need cooling.
